Dancing With The Stars shock elimination as beloved TV star becomes the second celebrity booted from the ballroom
Another celebrity has twirled off the Dancing With The Stars dance floor for good.
In a surprise twist, 7News Melbourne presenter Karina Carvalho was sent packing during Sunday night's episode, becoming the second contestant to be eliminated from the hit Channel Seven competition.
Despite putting her best foot forward alongside professional partner Andrey Gorbunov with a sizzling salsa, the judges weren't completely sold.
Karina showed clear improvement from her first performance, with judge Sharna Burgess applauding her transformation, while Helen Richey called her efforts 'impressive'.
But Craig Revel Horwood, never one to hold back, wanted to see 'more hip action', and it wasn't enough to keep her safe from elimination.

Following her shock exit, Karina paid tribute to her dance partner, telling the audience: 'Andrey is not just a fantastic, highly qualified dancer, he's such a great teacher and he's so patient and he's put together the most beautiful choreography for us.'
It was a tough night overall, as the second group of celebrities hit the floor for their round-two routines - each hoping to avoid the dreaded chop.
Opening the show was Home and Away actor Kyle Shilling, who took on an emotional Viennese waltz with Lily Cornish.
While Craig said it felt more like a 'contemporary freestyle', he still declared it 'absolutely amazing'.
But not all feedback was glowing - Helen Richey urged Kyle to work on his ballroom frame, while Sharna advised him to 'learn how to lead'.
Meanwhile, all eyes were on Mia Fevola, who stole the night with a heartfelt Viennese waltz danced to the same track her mother Alex performed to years earlier.
Judges were visibly moved, with Mark Wilson calling the performance 'flawless', Craig describing it as 'absolutely gorgeous' and Sharna urging Mia to believe in herself.
Shaun Micallef brought his signature wit and theatrical flair to a foxtrot with Ash-Leigh Hunter.

While some judges were charmed, Craig called it 'smoke and mirrors' and accused him of using facial expressions to 'mask all the terrible technique'.
Helen, however, loved 'Mr Suave' and admired his respect for the genre.
Osher Günsberg returned with a jive that had the judges doing a double take.
'You must have a twin,' joked Helen, praising the dramatic improvement.
Sharna said his performance skills were so strong, they masked any remaining issues with his footwork - while Craig and Mark agreed he had finally come alive on the dancefloor.
Closing the night was comedian Felicity Ward with partner Aric Yegudkin, who delivered a cha-cha-cha full of sass and precision.
Judges couldn't get enough - with Helen calling her a 'natural dancer', Craig praising her rhythm, and Sharna confidently predicting: 'We're gonna see you right at the end of this competition.'
But it was Mia Fevola and Gustavo Viglio who topped the leaderboard with 34 points -a clear standout among the stars.
