Maura Higgins secured another week on Dancing with the Stars in the US after finishing at the bottom of the judges’ leaderboard during Monday night’s Disney on Broadway-themed episode, rte.ie reported.
What to Know About the Disney Night Results
- Maura Higgins landed at the bottom of the judges’ leaderboard with a total of 68 points after two routines on Monday night.
- She performed a jive as Tinkerbell to “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” with partner Mark Ballas, earning 32 points, followed by a 36-point group routine with Team Slaytopia.
- Actress Julia Stiles and professional partner Ezra Sosa were eliminated after the results were revealed, leaving Higgins safe for another week.
Tinkerbell Routine Leaves Longford Native at the Bottom
The Longford native dressed as Tinkerbell for her main performance alongside professional partner Mark Ballas. The pair tackled a jive to “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” from Peter Pan, which earned them 32 points out of 40 after all four judges awarded eight points each. Team Slaytopia also featured in their return to the ballroom for a group dance, adding another 36 points to their tally. However, their combined score of 68 points placed them behind all other remaining pairs, casting uncertainty over their continuation in the show.
Julia Stiles Sent Home After the Results
As the results were revealed, Higgins and Ballas awaited the final announcement alongside actress Julia Stiles and her professional partner Ezra Sosa. Stiles and Sosa were ultimately sent home by the end of the night. This outcome follows closely on the heels of the previous week, when the ex-Love Island contestant won over the judges through a Horror Movie Night contemporary number inspired by The Lost Boys. That previous performance prompted high praise from judge Derek Hough, who described her as a “phenomenal performer” according to rte.ie.

|---|---|---|
| Jive with Mark Ballas | Disney on Broadway (Peter Pan / Tinkerbell) | 32 / 40 |
