Viewers have said goodbye to the first couple eliminated from Dancing with the Stars Ireland. On the show’s third week, Cathy Kelly received the fewest combined votes from the judges and the public and was the first celebrity to leave the competition.

The author failed to wow the judges and the viewers with the tango. Redmond described it as “a bit too Debbie Harry and needed more Dirty Harry.” She earned 15 points from the judges and the votes from viewers sealed her fate.
