Comedian and actor Michael Fry has become the first celebrity to exit Dancing with the Stars.

For the first time in the nine-year history of the RTÉ One show, the first elimination took place in Week Two rather than Week Three.

Alongside pro dancer Kylee Vincent, Michael received the lowest combined total from judges' scores and public votes for their Samba to Ed Sheeran's hit Sapphire.

Michael said: "I had the best time, and I was really scared, but I wanted to do it and I did it scared."

Michael and Kylee will speak to Laura Fox on 2FM at 9.30am tomorrow morning for their first broadcast interview following their exit from Dancing with the Stars.
