Joanna Donnelly has jived off Dancing With The Stars after six weeks but there's one thing she feels she's been 'short-changed' on.
The meteorologist and her pro partner Maciej Zięba were sent home after the dance-off against Aishah Akorede and pro Robert Rowiński.
Speaking after the show, Joanna said she had 'no regrets' and that although it would have been lovely to stay until the end of the competition, she did feel she'd gotten better each week.
'After dedication week we said every week is a bonus,' Joanna said following the dance-off result before praising Maciej for making their experience so much fun.
Joanna continued: ' We have such a good time. I think out of everybody in the show, we're the best. He's such a joy to be around, he's so positive all the time, and I'm not an easy study, I've made lots of mistakes, and he's always just so kind and patient and encouraging.'
Asked if she had any regrets now that her time on DWTS has come to a close, Joanna didn't miss a beat as she joked:' Yeah, I probably should have bought more votes!'
Laughing, Maciej jumped in to say: 'No, I don't think there's anything because we gave it our all. We were always there, we never skipped an hour, we gave it our best.'
Joanna agreed, adding: 'We worked the whole time, we weren't off going on coffee breaks and stuff like that... I probably should have bribed more people, that's the only thing.'
That being said, there is one thing that Joanna feels she was 'short-changed' on... she never got to perform any lifts! 'I've just realised I didn't get to do any lifts, I've been short-changed! We didn't do any lifts,' Joanna said to Maciej who promised he could still teach her some.
Looking back on their six weeks dancing together, Joanna said she enjoyed learning all the routines - even the Samba - and told EVOKE: 'All the dances were special. Apart from the first one, they all bought something special. Everything was a new experience. I even enjoyed the Samba.
' When they said I was going to do the Samba to Give Me Hope, Joanna, [a song that she's not keen on] I thought, "oh, well, I'm going home." Not that I would be voted off, but I'm just going home, I'm just not doing that, but I actually ended up really enjoying it.'
Although her time on Dancing With The Stars is now over, Joanna will still be busy next weekend as she has plans with her family to go on holiday.
She said: I'm on holidays [next weekend], I’ve been saying all along we have a ski holiday booked and if I go out in week six I can go skiing!' Maybe she'll even be able to tune into the show from the slopes!
