Erica Cody, Nina Carberry, Jordan Conroy and Ellen Keane have been revealed as the Dancing with the Stars finalists after Matthew Mac Nabb missed out on a spot following the last dance-off of the series, which was against singer Cody.

Earlier, there was “samba face” galore from Love Island star Mac Nabb, who smiled and charmed his way around the dancefloor with Laura Nolan during their individual dance. However, it was not enough to earn a high score. Redmond said he was impressed by the samba rolls in the routine, that their performance “actually wasn’t bad” and noted that crucially “the samba face was there”. It came after Redmond told him to show more expression on his face while dancing the previous week. Gourounlian was also delighted by the emotion shown: “So many facial expressions, finally!” Barry told him he should be proud as "overall you did a good samba. For you, the samba is a triumph.” He received 21 points from the judges.
