The 10 celebrity contestants hit the dance floor for their fourth performance hoping to impress both judges and viewers.<\/p>\n

Vogue Williams\u2019<\/a> sister Amber was the third celebrity\u00a0to be axed off the season.<\/p>\n

The podcaster and her professional dance partner Alex took on the American Smooth, to Chappell Roan\u2019s The Giver.<\/p>\n

Sadly, their dance didn\u2019t dazzle the judges, as the pair only managed 24 points.<\/p>\n

TANGOING RED<\/p>\n

Niamh Kavanagh reveals sons’ ‘slightly embarrassed’ reaction to DWTS costumes<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n

And unfortunately, they didn\u2019t inspire viewers at home, as they received the lowest votes from the public tonight and were the third couple dropped from the show.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the elimination was revealed, Amber said: \u201cI\u2019ve had a great journey, it\u2019s disappointing. Alex, you\u2019ve been brilliant. What an experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite getting the chop, Amber confirmed she will \u201cdefinitely\u201d keep dancing.<\/p>\n

RTE viewers raced to social media to share their thoughts on Amber\u2019s eviction.<\/p>\n

Sueann tweeted: \u201cDidn\u2019t want Amber to go tonight #dwtsirl , she was better than Paudie<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grace gushed: \u201cAh no not Amber.\u201d<\/p>\n

Niall remarked: \u201cNot a huge surprise, but Amber was better than Paudie this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following Amber, TV presenter Eric Roberts and his partner Ariana danced a Viennese Waltz to Chris Stapleton\u2019s hit, Tennessee<\/a> Whiskey.<\/p>\n

Their performance delighted the judges as they managed to get an early boost on the leaderboard with 31 points.<\/p>\n

Following Eric, Eurovision<\/a> winner Niamh Kavanagh and her pro-partner Stephen Vincent performed.<\/p>\n

CHA CHA TO THE TOP<\/h2>\n

She was going to take on the Cha Cha Cha to Shania Twain<\/a>\u2018s, That Don\u2019t Impress Me Much.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it didn\u2019t impress the Dancing With The Stars<\/a> judges, who gave her moves just 16 points.<\/p>\n

Next up was Apprentice UK finalist Jordan Dargon, who jived to a beautiful Paso Doble with his partner Rebecca.<\/p>\n

They glided along the dance floor to Jelly Roll<\/a>\u2018s Dead End Road, which won over the judges, who scored the pair an impressive 34.<\/p>\n

Traitors Ireland favourite Paudie Maloney took on the quickstep to Stop The World And Let Me Off.<\/p>\n

MURDEROUSLY GOOD<\/h2>\n

And the judges were quick to reward him and his pro-partner Laura Nolan<\/a> with 26 points.<\/p>\n

Ready to rumba to the top of the leaderboard tonight was show favourite Tolu Makay.<\/p>\n

Their rumba to There You\u2019ll Be garnered an impressive score of 33.<\/p>\n

Nationwide<\/a> presenter Anne Cassin had the tough job of following Tolu but managed to deliver with her quickstep to \u2018Ann\u2019 by Val Doonican.<\/p>\n

Anne and her pro Robert Rowinski were given 24 points by the judges.<\/p>\n

LOVED NATION WIDE<\/h2>\n

Diving into the second American Smooth of the night were Philip Doyle and Daniella, performing to Glen Campbell\u2019s Rhinestone Cowboy.<\/p>\n

Their score from the judges had them dripping in diamonds as they received 33.<\/p>\n

The penultimate dance was a Charleston by Fair City<\/a> star Stephanie Kelly to \u2018Yihaa\u2019 by Dolly Styles.<\/p>\n

Rounding out tonight\u2019s show was Rose of Tralee<\/a> winner Kaitlyn Cummins, who enthusiastically delivered a vibrant quickstep to \u2018Hit the Diff\u2019 by Marty Mone.<\/p>\n

Not totally impressed by her moves, the queen of the leaderboard slightly lost her lead with just 30 points.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
