Dancing with the Stars viewers were left devastated after the first celebrity was eliminated on Sunday night's episode. Former Eurovision contestant Mickey Joe Harte exited the competition despite delivering an impressive Foxtrot performance. Fans expressed their shock and disappointment on social media, with many feeling he deserved to stay.
Dancing with the Stars viewers were left gutted when the first celebrity was eliminated in Sunday night's episode. After three weeks of the contestants strutting their stuff, last night's episode marked the first elimination of the season, with former Eurovision contestant Mickey Joe Harte exiting stage left.
Mickey Joe, alongside his dance partner Daniela Roze, charmed judges and audiences with a slick Foxtrot to Hozier's hit Too Sweet, garnering positive feedback and decent scores. The Eurovision legend earned the title of a "ballroom boy" as he bagged a score of 28, reports RSVP Live. Judge Arthur gushed: "I was rooting for you - and you did it! You brought elegance to the ballroom. You demonstrated a smooth foxtrot." Despite delivering an impressive performance, the Eurovision favourite faced an unexpected exit - leaving fans utterly dismayed by the choice. Viewers expressed their disbelief on social media – with one saying: "Mickey had a decent go tonight. Hard luck to him, but I feel he should've stayed on." "MICKEY JOE? ? ? ? ? WHAT? ? ? ? WHO WAS VOTING? ?" echoed another stunned fan. A third shared their sympathy, saying: "Really sorry to see Mickey Joe go." The sentiment continued, with another viewer adding: "I didn't expect Mickey Joe to be first out," while another suggested: "I don't think @MickeyJoeHarte deserved to be on the way home tonight." Meanwhile, someone else chimed in with: "Ah janey, poor Mickey Joe. Yeah, he had a cringe first two weeks but he was good tonight, so didn't really deserve to go." Post-elimination, Mickey Joe opened up to hosts Doireann Garrihy and Jennifer Zamparelli about his experience, saying it was "great craic" and he had "made so many great friends" on the show. "I am disappointed for Daniela though as it's her first year as well and she's amazing," he added. Meanwhile, Kin star Yasmin Seky, alongside dance partner Simone Arena, dazzled the judges with their quirky Charleston to Meghan Trainor and T-Pain's track Been Like This, wowing Brian, Karen, Loraine and Arthur, nabbing themselves a towering score of 36. Fans are now eagerly awaiting next week's movie-themed spectacular - one of the highlights of every series.
