Clelia Murphy fans were not pleased
We are getting into the last few weeks of 'Dancing with the Stars' with the quarter-final taking place last night. The five remaining contestants danced up a storm in what was a Eurovision themed night, with actress Clelia Murphy and comedian Fred Cooke ending up in the dreaded dance-off.
It was Clelia's third week in a row in the bottom two, despite scoring top of the leader board on last week's show, and sadly she didn't live to dance another week as both Julian Benson and Loraine Barry voted her out of the competition.
There is plenty of love for Fred Cooke online but a lot of viewers felt that the judges made the wrong decision over who should have got through to the 'Dancing with the Stars' quarter-finals next week.
ARE YALL SCARED TO SEND FRED HOME OR SOMETHING?
HIS SAMBA WAS NOT BETTER THAN CLELIA'S WALTZ

I like Fred but there is no way he deserves to be there ahead of Clelia absolute farce #DWTSIRL

I think Fred was great but I felt he should have come to the end of his time in the competition. Sad to see Clelia go. #DWTSIrl

So disappointed to see @clelia_murphy leaving #DWTSIRL - top of the leader board last week, then harshly marked tonight. She’ll be missed. A great dancer and all round lovely person. https://t.co/76CY2UdnXa

@clelia_murphy should have won the dance off. Bad decision by the judges. Thought they were being judged on their performance.#DWTSIrl

Fred is a terrific entertainer and seems to be a real gent but a dancer he is not. Clelia was far better. #DWTSIRL

I enjoy Fred but seriously I do not get this at all. I really feel @clelia_murphy and @KozminVitali should have gone through. #DWTSIrl @DWTSIRL

My Mom is having a meltdown about the whole thing! In that typically Irish way I'm making tea to help diffuse the situation. Huge fan of @clelia_murphy #DWTSIRL #RTEOne https://t.co/lxF7KL5tGW
