Dancing With the Stars entered the semi-finals on Sunday night.

Saying goodbye was Olympic boxer Harry Garside, who was eliminated just short of making it to the finals.

With their freestyle performances in sight, the stakes were higher than ever as each couple hit the floor determined to secure their place in the grand finale.

Harry opened the show with a steamy Mad Max-inspired Tango.

While the judges agreed the style wasn’t his strongest, they praised his effort and commitment to the performance before scoring him 20 points.

With the audience vote combined with the judges’ scores, it was Harry and his partner Siobhan Power who were sent home, just short of making the top five.

Reflecting on his journey, Harry said: ‘It’s been so much fun. It’s such an amazing process.

‘To share this with Siobhan, and to learn how to dance from her, like how cool is that? So fingers crossed it helps my boxing, I’m sure it will.’

Last week, fan favourite Osher Günsberg was shown the exit door during a dramatic episode.

Taking to the ballroom with a Tango routine backed by David Bowie‘s 1980 hit Fashion, the TV host put in a feverish performance that failed to impress the judges.

Taking his cue from the evening’s ‘Kings and Queens of song’ theme, judge Craig Revel Horwood did not mince words when delivering his verdict.

‘Well that was a right royal mess! I don’t know what that step was, coming down the ramp, darling, but it was fumbled…’ Craig began, but a furious Osher interrupted.

Visibly annoyed, Osher snapped, ‘Would you like to try going down that Perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You’re more than welcome to show me.’

Last week, fan favourite Osher Günsberg (right) was shown the exit door during a dramatic episode, during which he clashed with the judges in a fiery spat

He continued to rage: ‘But I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot kicking, and you’re holding their momentum against you. After you!’

Craig seemed taken aback by the fiery exchange, replying to a fuming Osher, ‘That is not my job.’

He then continued on with his critique despite the tense atmosphere, which had host Sonia Kruger visibly shocked.

‘It was completely erratic,’ Craig said, after dismissing Osher’s remarks.

Craig told the frustrated TV personality, ‘You were making mistakes left, right and centre.’

Fellow judge Mark Wilson did offer Osher some words of encouragement, telling him that he admired his determination to improve his dancing skills.

However, the final score was a dismal 15 points and Osher was sent home.
