Stephanie Kelly became the sixth celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars on Sunday night.
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."
Sunday night's high-scoring special episode, which saw the return of former co-host Nicky Byrne as a judge, saw seven All-Stars from seasons gone by return 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.
