Dancing With The Stars saw two fan favorites leave the competition on Sunday night.
MasterChef Australia star Julie Goodwin and athlete Nova Peris were sent home after failing to impress.
After a sensational group performance of Kylie Minogue’s Step Back in Time, the couples battled it out for a place in the Semi-Final.
In her disco days, Nova served Cha Cha, although Helen criticized her for staying within her capabilities.
Nova scored 19 points, but it wasn’t enough to save her despite a valiant effort.
Meanwhile, Julie returned to the track with an impressive Foxtrot, scoring a healthy 27 points.
The judges called her “a sexy vixen,” “a minx,” and even a “dominatrix” after her passionate performance.
Without dancing, Nova and Julie finished in last place on the leaderboard and were sent home.
