In a stunning turn of events on the dance floor, former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui has become the latest celebrity to be eliminated from the hit competition series Dancing With The Stars.
The 27-year-old singer and her professional dance partner, Gleb Savchenko, found themselves in the bottom two during Tuesday night's episode, ultimately facing off against actress Mira Sorvino and her partner in the dreaded dance-off.
Judges' Verdict Seals Fate
Despite giving their all in the crucial performance round, the judging panel - consisting of Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli - unanimously voted to save Sorvino, ending Jauregui's journey on the popular ABC show.
The elimination comes as a surprise to many viewers who had watched Jauregui's progression through the competition. Just last week, the singer had delivered a powerful contemporary routine that earned her strong praise from the judges and suggested she might be a contender to watch.
Emotional Farewell
Following the announcement, an emotional Jauregui expressed her gratitude for the experience. "This has been one of the most incredible journeys of my life," she told the audience. "I'm so grateful to have had this opportunity to push myself in ways I never thought possible."
The singer also shared heartfelt appreciation for her professional partner, Savchenko, acknowledging his patience and guidance throughout their time together. "Gleb has been an amazing teacher and partner. I've learned so much about discipline, artistry, and what my body is capable of."
Competition Heats Up
Jauregui's departure in week 3 narrows the field as the remaining celebrities continue to battle for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. The competition continues to intensify with each passing week, leaving viewers wondering which star will be the next to face elimination.
Dancing With The Stars airs Tuesdays on ABC, featuring a diverse lineup of celebrities paired with professional dancers as they compete in various ballroom dance styles.
