Colin Mathura-Jeffree has paid tribute to his dance partner Kristie Williams after their dramatic elimination from Dancing With the Stars.
Mathura-Jeffree and Williams were eliminated in last night's episode of the TV3 reality show, despite scoring 19 points in Sunday night's dance-off.
That put them middle of the pack ofthe nine couples on judges' scores, but audience voting saw them join Chrystal Chenery and Jonny Williams - who scored 24 points - in the bottom two.

There was silence in the studio audience as host Dominic Bowden read out the results, and Williams was too tearful to talk afterwards.
Mathura-Jeffree took to social media to pay tribute to Williams, saying the pair will be "life long friends".
"It was such an honor to have you as my amazing dancing star," Mathura-Jeffree wrote.
"The best part about this whole experience was that I got to work with you for the last 2months and now get to call you a life long friend. You are so kind and such an amazing person. ... This was an incredible adventure...in life things can come easy but when you're totally outside of your comfort zone that's when the magic happens.
"I loved all the other co stars & especially my co star Kristie Williams from LimeLight dance studio. She and I became such brats instantly laughing & pranking, then all of a sudden I realised I've made a life long friend."
