Olympic rower Philip Doyle has become the seventh celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, missing out on a place in next week's semi-final after Orchestra Night on RTÉ One.
Doyle and pro partner Daniela Roze landed in the bottom two after the judges’ scores were combined with the public vote, and then faced singer-songwriter Tolü Makay in the fourth dance-off of the season.
