Leah O’Rourke has become the first celebrity to leave Dancing with the Stars following tonight’s episode on RTÉ One.
Leah and her professional partner John Nolan danced the Cha, Cha, Cha and scored just 11 points from the judges.
Tonight was the third show of the series and the first of the eliminations, although votes from the first two shows were carried over to tonight.

Afterward, Leah commented: “I'm feeling okay with my limited dancing abilities, this was always a real possibility for me. I came on and I gave it a shot and I had the best time with John. John is a legend.”
John thanked Leah for the laughs, adding: "We've had more fun in the last couple of weeks. You are an absolute legend."
Viewers were sad to see the Derry Girls actress sent home, and have been taking to Twitter to hail the 34-year-old’s attempts on the show.
One person wrote: “Never mind Leah you can act them all and everyone else under the table. Fair Play for a damn good try. Brooke amazing! Really enjoyed Shanes performance”.
A second fan of the show said: “Sorry to see Leah and John go but she tried her best and should be proud of herself”.
Another took to Twitter and said: “Gracious in defeat. Sound person is Leah”.
A fourth viewer wrote: “So sorry for Leah, even if it was expected. She's a lovely person”.
