RTE viewers saw Shane Byrne get the boot on the latest episode of Dancing with the Stars.
The former rugby player narrowly missed out on a place in next week's quarter final of the competition. Shane and his dance partner Karen Byrne found themselves in the dance off, alongside Panti Bliss and her professional partner Denys Samson, on the show's Orchestra week.
Fans on Twitter sympathised with Shane's loss and applauded his efforts on Twitter. Some remarked that his departure was unfair as he still had a lot to offer.
