Former newsreader Aengus Mac Grianna tonight became the third celebrity to leave series 5 of Dancing with the Stars. Along with Emily Barker, he performed a jive, scoring 17 points and some very positive comments from the judges but unfortunately his efforts were not enough to see him through to next week's show.
After the results were announced, Aengus said: I had a fantastic time. His partner Emily Barker was full of praise for him: He was brilliant. He's never danced before in his life and he was very memorable.
Our celebrity dancers brought their A' game to the Dancing with the Stars dancefloor tonight as each of the 10 couples fought to earn their place in next week's Dedicated Dance' week, at the end of which, there will be no elimination.
Presenters Jennifer Zamparelli and Nicky Byrne were on hand to greet them after their performance while judges Loraine Barry, Brian Redmond and Arthur Gourounlian provided critique along with their scores.
Following on from being the first dancer this series to achieve 10 points last week, Singer Erica Cody was the first celebrity to take to the dancefloor tonight with her pro partner Denys Samson. Their sultry rumba was danced to Girl on Fire' by Alicia Keys.
Loraine began the judges comments tonight by saying: A raw rumba, no frills, but you dressed it up with the arms, legs, basic action, fan position - outstanding rumba.
Arthur: Can someone pass me the fire extinguisher? That was hot! That's how you open the show!
Brian: Coordination, control, quality. SMOKIN'!
Erica and Denys scored 26 from the judges.
Cyclist Nicolas Roche, along with his pro partner Karen Byrne were the second couple to dance tonight. Nicolas danced his second latin routine of the season, a samba, to Fantasy' by Earth, Wind and Fire.
Arthur: I wanted to be transported to the carnival .I wasn't, but you were committed to the character tonight.
Brian: Last week you glided, but, bit of a puncture tonight. Some of the technical actions were a bit flat, so technical improvement needed, but keep party going.
Loraine: Technically way off the mark, but emotionally, definitely on the mark. I applaud that, but technically not up there.
Nicolas and Karen scored 15 from the judges.
Aslan's Billy McGuinness and Hannah Kelly were the next couple to dance. They brought a fun holiday atmosphere to the dancefloor with their quickstep which was danced to A Town Called Malice' by The Jam.
Brian: A Town Called Malice some people would say I like a malicious comment - but not tonight! The arms need work, but great energy, great characterisation, yes, job done.
Loraine: May I say for a man of 61 it's incredible. The two times you went down the floor, once open, once closed, that is quickstep, a little bit of swing. A good night for you tonight.
Arthur: I'm so happy, the happy face is back. Quickstep - you never let me down when you are having fun. This was quickstep extravaganza.
Billy and Hannah scored 18 from the judges.
Tonight's show saw model Missy Keating and Ervinas Merfeldas dance a dramatic tango to Prisoner,' a Miley Cyrus track.
Loraine said: Useful tango - stalking action with circle. You need to get hip line slightly forward, slight up. You've got it. Give us more.
Arthur: Tango is a discipline dance. Head movement very strong.
Brian: Tango of two halves. Top half excellent, spine and head position. You need to tidy your feet a bit. Bit of a swan of a tango. A very good attempt.
Missy and Ervinas scored 22 from the judges.
Matthew MacNabb and Laura Nolan were the fifth couple to dance tonight. Their salsa was to X' by the Jonas Brothers feat. Karol G.
Arthur: Those lifts, I thought I was watching the Olympics. You need to loosen up. I applaud you for it.
Brian: I agree with Arthur. Lifts were great. You should have but more lifts in, as sometimes it wasn't great in between. You can't always get hip action. Not a salsa without it.
Loraine: The Saving grace were the 2 L's - Laura and lifts. You have to have hip action. Those hips are not moving as they should for a salsa. Good effort, but not good enough.
Matthew and Laura scored 14 from the judges.
It was an upbeat latin cha-cha-cha for Nina Carberry and her pro partner Pasquale La Rocca tonight. They danced to If the World Just Danced' by Diana Ross.
Brian: I thought the first section was excellent. Leg action was bit forced. Everything else was there. You need to start believing in your legs. A blast from start to finish.
Loraine: It's the smile tonight - a lovely cheeky smile - a little mistake, but you still had a great effort - lovely swivel actions. A tremendous effort.
Arthur: So good to see a different side to Nina - the cha cha - the best number for to show us. Legs a little bit open but we had fun.
Nina and Pasquale scored 21 from the judges.
Aengus Mac Grianna and Emily Barker performed a fun jive to Billy Joel's All Shook Up'.
Loraine: Totally in the zone there, in your element. Used prop really well. Twinkle toes - a little bit. A good jive.
Arthur: Dancing is so much fun and so hard. Jive never stops. You never stopped. You danced your socks off. Bravo.
Brian: It was athletic, agile, light on it's feet. Didn't get all shook up like last week. All looking up this week.
Aengus and Emily scored 17 from the judges.
Swimmer Ellen Keane and Stephen Vincent danced contemporary ballroom tonight. Their emotional dance resonated with Ellen as they danced to We are Beautiful' by Unsecret X Lyra.
Arthur: Such an emotional performance. I was so captivated by you. No greater feeling in the world then feeling like you are in the moment, in the music. You are a dancer. Y
