Erin McGregor was kicked off Dancing With the Stars last night.
The sister of UFC fighter Conor McGregor, was left in tears as she said goodbye to the show, and told her fans to never give up on themselves.
Speaking of her elimination in the semi-final, she said: “I really didn’t believe in myself in the start. I got a lot of slack… this competition has given me the realisation that I have more strength in me and anyone at home that has a dream never never give up on it.”
And it seems like the public were largely disappointed with her loss, writing on Twitter to tell Erin to keep her head up high:
You were amazing so passionate and dedicated! Congratulations to yourself and ryan! You have come a long way, well done very proud of you! Don’t stop dancing! ??

You ought to have made it on your dancing ability but it’s not about that as was seen over the weeks, some celebrity’s are better known and have big backup, you did well to have battled each week and it was your ability that brought you through #DWTSIrl

There were a few naysayers too, but sure don’t we always get those:
So much for “You will never Beat McGregor”
