Eric Roberts got safely through to Week 9 of Dancing with the Stars as Fair City actress Stephanie Kelly was eliminated from the show. Carrigart’s Ireland AM presenter Eric Roberts & Arianna Favaro danced a Paso Doble to “The Greatest Show” by Panic! At the Disco, first performed by Brooke Scullion in season six.
They scored 46 to finish fourth overall in the judges vote and with the help of the public vote as they missed the dreaded dance off. Stephanie Kelly became the sixth celebrity to be eliminated as the show marked its milestone 100th episode, the Fair City star and her pro partner Ervinas Merfeldas left the competition.
The combined public votes and judges scores saw them face-off against Jordan Dargan in the third dreaded dance-off of the season.
After being eliminated from the show, Stephanie said: “It was so much more than I anticipated. I got so much more out of it than I realised. It is not just about learning to dance or being on a reality TV show, it did so much for me personally. I am not emotional in a sad way, and I would recommend anybody to do it because it is deadly.”
In Sunday’s special episode seven All-Stars from seasons gone by returned to the ballroom as Des Cahill, Jake Carter, Mairéad Ronan, Ryan Andrews, Jordan Conroy, Brooke Scullion and Blu Hydrangea all mentored and advised the remaining couples.
Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins and Leonardo Lini with their Viennese Waltz to “You are the Reason” saw them get the top score of the night of 50. Next week is Orchestra Week on Dancing with the Stars, airing on 1 March from 6:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
