GEAROID Farrelly was booted off Dancing With The Stars tonight.
But things weren’t all fine and dandy in the dance-off — with the comedian blaming a missing voice-over for an error that led to his axing.



The Dubliner became the fifth star eliminated after a nail-biting dance-off with Mrs Brown’s Boys actor Danny O’Carroll, 41, and pro partner Salome Chachua.
And it couldn’t have been harder for the judges — as both men scored an identical 33 points in their initial dances.
But with the pressure heaped on, Gearoid, 47, messed up the opening of his repeat Charleston with Stephen Vincent to Beyonce’s Crazy in Love — with all of the panel choosing to send him home.
Explaining the mishap, he told The Irish Sun: “At the start of our [first] dance, there’s a voice-over that goes, ‘Now dancing the Charleston, it’s Gearoid Farrelly and Stephen Vincent’.
“That didn’t play on the dance-off, so that was my cue. I just never recovered. I made a balls of it. But I’d rather go out having made a big mistake than it being close and down to the wire.
“But I’m relieved as well, cause I love Danny O’Carroll, he is a gentleman and I have enjoyed every second working with him. This has been the happiest few months of my life. I just loved it.”
Gearoid also paid tribute to pro Stephen Vincent as the “captain of the ship” and bigged up the other professional dancers.
He said: “Viewers just see the choreography and them dancing with us but they are also therapists who talk us off a ledge on Wednesday.”
There had been shock Danny ended up in the dance-off ahead of lower scorers.
He had impressed earlier with a sexy salsa to Lionel Richie’s All Night Long. And judge Arthur Gourounlian told him: “I could watch you dancing all night long.”
Orchestra Night was opened by Kayleigh Trappe and Ervinas Merfeldas, who got 32 for their Charleston.
TV chef Kevin Dundon got just 24 for a foxtrot, while neon-clad Olympian Jack Woolley and pro Alex Vladimirov picked up 37 for a fiery sambo.
Model Aishah Akorede got 36 for an American smooth, avoiding a third dance-off.
Gymnast Rhys McClenaghan got a near-perfect 39 for contemporary ballroom.
