Dancing with the Stars: Another celebrity exit- 'I'm disappointed but I had a shaky day'

Elaine Crowley became the second celebrity to be eliminated from series eight of Dancing with the Stars in the latest episode with an annual special 'Movie Week'.

Elaine and pro partner Denys Samson had the lowest number of votes combined from the first four episodes.

On exiting the competition Elaine said: "I'm disappointed but I had a shaky day today," RTE said. 

It was Movie Week on the show on the Sunday January 26th episode where the annual special saw the ten remaining celebrity couples dance glittering routines inspired by some of the biggest movies of all time, with iconic heroes, villains and much-loved characters taking centre stage.

Former Miss Universe Ireland, Aishah Akorede and Robert Rowiński were the first to take to the dancefloor tonight with their take on a Cha-cha-cha to Rescue Me by Fontella Bass from Sister Act, said RTE.

Dancing second on the night comedian Gearóid Farrelly transformed into The Artful Dodger, alongside his partner Stephen Vincent for an American Smooth to Consider Yourself from Oliver!

Arthur said: "That lift - my jaw dropped. It's the first time you've danced without looking to Stephen for validation. I'm so proud of you."

Third up were social media star Kayleigh Trappe and her partner Ervinas Merfeldas were aiming for "purr-fection" when they took on a Quickstep to the title track from The Aristocats.

Reactions from viewers on social media platform X, poured in for the latest episode.

One person said that it was "Kayleighs best dance yet!".

Another person said, "Well done Jack and Alex another very good performance." 

Someone else commented on Rhys and Laura's preformance, "he's not dancing, he's doing a gymnastics competition."
