Gallery: Jiving gem - Kilkenny's Katelyn survives first Dancing elimination!

Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins

Kilkenny woman Katelyn Cummins made it through the first elimination of this year's Dancing with the Stars on live RTE television last night (Sunday).

From scoring the highest marks of any contestant in her first week, last week, to kicking off the live show this week, the Ballyouskill Rose of Tralee is making her home county proud.

Comedian and actor Michael Fry became the first celebrity to be eliminated from the competition.  Alongside pro dancer Kylee Vincent, Michael received the lowest combined total from judges’ scores and public votes.   Michael said: “I had the best time, and I was really scared, but I wanted to do it and I did it scared.”
