Cody Linley kicked off of 'DWTS'

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Actor Cody Linley became the latest celebrity eliminated from the U.S. competition series "Dancing with the Stars."

"Oh my gosh! Words cannot even explain the true, amazing, growing and learning journey I had on this show," the 18-year-old "Hannah Montana" co-star said upon learning his fate Tuesday night.

Of his professional dance partner Julianne Hough -- who returned to the show Tuesday after being out a few weeks due to an appendectomy -- he said, "I love her so much!"

Linley was paired with another dancer while Hough was out.

Heading into the Season 7 finals, along with their professional dance partners, are Brooke Burke, Lance Bass and Warren Sapp.
