LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Singer Joey Fatone and his professional dance partner Kym Johnson were eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" in Los Angeles Tuesday night.

"I'll miss everyone out here," Fatone said upon learning he would not be continuing on the all-stars edition of the show. "People said I was fun, and that's all that matters."

Still in the running with their professional dance partners for the coveted mirror ball trophy are Sabrina Bryan, Bristol Palin, Kirstie Alley, Apolo Ohno, Gilles Marini, Melissa Rycroft, Kelly Monaco, Shawn Johnson, Helio Castroneves, Drew Lachey and Emmitt Smith. Two couples will be dropped from the competition next week.

Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet are the co-hosts of the show.
