LOS ANGELES, April 19 (UPI) -- Supermodel Petra Nemcova and her professional dance partner Dmitry Chaplin were eliminated Tuesday from "Dancing with the Stars" in Los Angeles.

"Petra's been fantastic," UsMagazine.com quoted judge Len Goodman as saying. "Two weeks ago, she was [on] top of the leader-board. It's madness!"

"It's been a life changing journey for me," Nemcova said upon learning her fate. "So many people got inspired because of 'Dancing with the Stars' that I started to do dance-a-thons at schools to fundraise for [my Happy Hearts Fund charity] and change the lives of so many children around the world."
