Recap | Dancing With The Stars on Channel 7 and 7plus S22E8 – Meet your Dancing With The Stars Grand Finalists.
Three more celebrities secure their place in next Monday’s Grand Finale
Tonight on Seven and 7plus, the second group of celebrities took the stage for their Dancing With The Stars Semi-Final performances, with Mia Fevola bidding an emotional farewell to the competition. Following Mia’s elimination, Felicity Ward, Kyle Shilling and Shaun Micallef will join Michael Usher, Brittany Hockley and Trent Cotchin to compete in Monday night’s Grand Finale.
The second Semi-Final opened with a high-energy, country-style quickstep from Home and Away actor Kyle Shilling and partner Lily Cornish. After earning a perfect score in their previous performance, the pressure was on, but a few missteps left Kyle disappointed. Despite the errors, the judges scored Kyle 29 points and told him they were entertained and not to be so hard on himself.
Next up, comedian Felicity Ward lit up the ballroom with a vibrant salsa alongside partner Aric, which scored 33 points.
The crowd was on their feet, and Felicity shared with Sonia just how much she loves the show and the entire experience. The judges rewarded her fun, fierce routine with glowing praise.
Model and influencer Mia Fevola delivered a stunningly precise foxtrot with partner Gustavo. While the judges admired the technical brilliance, Craig Revel Horwood encouraged Mia to connect more emotionally with the dance to truly make it memorable, before she was scored 31.
Closing the night, Shaun Micallef and Ash-Leigh Hunter delivered a cha-cha that could only be described as uniquely Shaun, complete with horse moves and hilarious facial expressions. The routine charmed the judges and audience alike, with Shaun receiving a score of 30.
Before the results were revealed, the audience enjoyed a spectacular performance by the sensational Brent Street dancers.
When the judges’ scores were combined with the studio audience vote, it was Mia and Gustavo who were eliminated from the competition. Reflecting on her time in the ballroom, Mia shared:
“My confidence has grown so much, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come as a dancer.”
