Lea Thompson eliminated from 'Dancing with the Stars'

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Actress Lea Thompson and her professional dance partner Artem Chigvintsev were cut from Season 19 of Dancing with the Stars in Los Angeles Monday night.

"I just feel really great; great in my body. I feel strong," Thompson said upon learning her fate. "I'm anxious to get back to my day job on Switched at Birth.

"I just love this man and he is a new pro here and I think he did a great job with me," she said, referring to Chigvintsev.

Going into next week's semifinals for the coveted mirrorball trophy -- along with their partners -- are Tommy Chong, Bethany Mota, Janel Parrish, Alfonso Ribeiro and Sadie Robertson.

The show kicked off its latest edition Sept. 15, with Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews returning as co-hosts and former DWTS pro Julianne Hough joining the judges' panel with fellow experts Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
