TV presenter Kylie Gillies has been the first to be eliminated from the Dancing With the Stars finale.
The Morning Show host was favourite to win the Seven Network TV show, but was voted off after the sudden death cha cha.
Mrs Gillies, 42, said she had a great time on the show.
”I came into this show the biggest fan and leave loving it even more,” Mrs Gillies said.
It leaves Today Tonight host Matt White and country singer Adam Brand in the competition to fight it out for the trophy.

BLIND dancer Gerrard Gosens has a clear message for hot-head judge Todd McKenney – back off.
The Dancing With The Stars contestant said McKenney needed to choose his words more carefully after he savaged the Paralympian’s performance on Sunday’s show.
McKenney caused a huge viewer backlash after telling Gosens he couldn’t dance, his solo salsa was “stilted” and that his effort was “appalling”. “To be honest, you are not a great dancer … and I have to judge the dance, and not an audience of 1.6 million.”
Gosens said McKenney had offered no positives and was sending a “terrible” message to impaired viewers who Gosens was trying to inspire and none more than his daughter Taylor, 11, blind through the same degenerative condition.
“I have a passion and desire to improve as a dancer, but maybe Todd doesn’t believe that because there was absolutely no sense of hope for me,” Gosens said.

COUNTRY rocker Adam Brand admits he and his Dancing with the Stars partner Jade Hatcher spend seven days a week together, but he says they are not romantically involved.
Brand and Hatcher were widely reported at the weekend to be smitten with each other, and there is clearly chemistry between to the two sequin-clad pocket rockets.
“The truth of the matter is we are really great mates,” Brand said.
“We are hanging out all the time, every day, seven days a week, so you get close.
“Everybody backstage is cuddling and giving each other back rubs.”
Hatcher, 19, said she and Brand had developed a close bond through the demands of the hit show.
“We show our affection a lot,” she said. “But dancers do get very close.”
Brand had surgery last week to have a stone removed from his salivary gland, resulting in him missing some training for Sunday night’s show.
