We’re up to the quarter finals in this series of Dancing With The Stars and last night’s show saw one of its strongest contestants have to exit the dancefloor.
Katja Mia and her partner missed out on a spot in the semi finals after they found themselves in the dance off last night alongside drag queen Blu Hydrangea.

The judges had their work cut out for them having to choose between two very strong couples but in the end they voted in favour of keeping Blu Hydrangea.
Everyone was gutted to see Katja go, especially as she had been such a standout performer throughout the whole series.
"I feel numb right now but I have to say thank you to everyone on Dancing With The Stars,” Katja told Jennifer Zamperelli after it was revealed she’d be going home.
"It's been an incredible journey. I surprised myself with how long I lasted. It is a memory I won't forget so thank you."
A number of viewers expressed their shock at Katja’s departure, especially as she had scored an impressive 28 points for her salsa to ‘Levitating’ earlier that night.
"No way she should not have been sent home," one commenter wrote on social media.
"Katja you were amazing you did not deserve to go home tonight ❤️" another commented on Katja's Instagram page.
