Ciara Miller's Shocking 'Dancing With the Stars' Exit Stuns Fans

“Dancing With the Stars” paid tribute to Mariah Carey this week — but it wasn’t “One Sweet Day” for another beloved couple.

“Summer House” star Ciara Miller and her pro partner, Brandon Armstrong, were shockingly eliminated at the end of Tuesday night’s episode after earning a 21/30 from the judges for their Jazz routine to “Emotions.”

Just minutes after the elimination was announced on live TV, Page Six caught up with Miller’s “Summer House” co-star Kyle Cooke at our “Virtual Reali-Tea Awards” in New York City, where he reacted to the news in real time.

“Oh, no. We all voted, too,” he responded, with a shocked expression on his face. “[But] hey, she took it so seriously. She put in so much hard work. She showed me a little one, two-step while we were filming ‘Summer House,’ because the training began in August.”

“That makes me sad, but, I mean, what an incredible opportunity,” he added. “I’m sure she did her absolute best [tonight].”

At the end of Tuesday night’s show, co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro revealed that two other dance couples — Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson and Jackson Olson and Emma Slater — were also in danger of going home.

Rodriguez and Carson‘s Samba to “Obsessed” scored them the lowest total of the night, a 13/30, while Olson and Slater received a 21/30 for their Waltz to “Without You.”

Meanwhile, “Glee” alum Harry Shum Jr. and partner Jenna Johnson’s Tango to “It’s Like That” (feat. Jermaine Dupri and Fatman Scoop) earned them a 24/30, while Paralympian gold medalist Ezra Frech and partner Daniella Karagach wowed with a 24/30 for their Rumba to “Anytime You Need a Friend.”

“Bachelor Nation” alum Tyler Cameron and partner Sharna Burgess also earned an improved score, a 21/30 this week, for their Foxtrot to “#Beautiful” (feat. Miguel).

Comedian Connor Wood and partner Rylee Arnold’s rumba to “Touch My Body” scored them a 19/30.

Elsewhere in the episode, “Traitors” fan-favorite Maura Higgins and partner Mark Ballas wowed with a 25/30 for their Waltz to “If It’s Over,” earning them the highest score of the evening.

“Save the Last Dance” actress Julia Stiles and partner Ezra Sosa’s Viennese Waltz to “Vision of Love” earned them a 21/30, while “Step Up” actress Jenna Dewan and partner Val Chmerkovskiy scored a 24/30 for their Rumba to “My All.”

“Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum Tatyana Ali and partner Jan Ravnik’s Jazz routine to “Fantasy” received a 20/30, while Olympian gold medalist Amber Glenn and partner Pasha Pashkov wowed with a 23/30 for their Rumba to “Hero.”

Earlier this season, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Conner Leavitt was sent home packing, followed by “Love Thy Nader” star Sarah Jane Nader, celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis and Hanson singer Taylor Hanson.

New episodes of “DWTS” air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and stream on Hulu the following day.
