Des Cahill has been eliminated from Dancing With The Stars.

The RTE Sport presenter was thrilled to be in the quarter finals and he and dance partner Karen Byrne threw everything into their jive tonight.

Des and Karen danced to "Do You Love Me?" from the movie Dirty Dancing and the judges gave them 19 points, the lowest score of the night.

Julian told Des: "Nobody puts our Dessie in the corner you were alive and well on the floor tonight."

However, Brian added: "It was packed with energy - there were times when the feet were out of time, your little feet struggled to keep up.

"Overall it was good, you completely committed to the character."

The couple ended up in the dance-off which they lost to Aoibhin Garrihy and Vitali Kozmin.

Aoibhin and Vitali took on the tango which netted them 25 points from the judges.

The judges loved it but they thought the couple moved a bit too fast with Loraine telling them: "If you had given us more slows and smouldering moments it would have been better", while Brian told them it was too fast.

Des graciously bowed out of the show tonight and made an emotional farewell: "It's been fantastic not one bad day or moment.

"Thank you to all who voted for us, and I’d like to thank my family, I haven’t been at home and to karen..I can’t say it!"

Twitter was sad to see Des leaving.
