It was a shock for viewers when both Brooke Scullion and Panti Bliss ended up in the bottom two on Sunday night’s Dancing with the Stars.
Things have certainly been heating up as we headed into the semi-final next week.
So it was with a heavy heart we bid farewell to the incredible Panti Bliss.
“I’m very sad and everything, but Brooke is like a niece to me, my best friend, I love her with all my heart. Denys is everything. I love this man so much,” Panti said after the elimination on Sunday night.
Brooke immediately took to social media to share her love for Panti and her heartbreak that they had been eliminated from the series.
“Where it started to where we are – @PantiBliss I absolutely adore you, thank you for being such an inspiration. A friend for life,” Brooke wrote.
She shared a picture of the pair during Brooke’s campaign to represent Ireland at Eurovision in 2022 alongside a picture of them hugging on the dancefloor.
Fans also took to social media to share their feelings on the elimination.
Panti brought so much to Dancing with the Stars and will be remembered for making history on Irish Television. 👏🏼💕 #DWTSIRL pic.twitter.com/XaSzb3awGy
