Marama Fox is the fourth contestant to have been eliminated from Dancing With The Stars NZ, following the competition's first elimination dance-off.
The Māori Party co-leader was the latest contestant to be eliminated, after Real Housewives of Auckland star Gilda Kirkpatrick and The Bachelor NZ stars Zac Franich and Naz Khanjani.

The pair had a dance-off with the other couple left in the competition, which included former Black Cap Chris Harris, but their performance simply wasn't enough to save them.
All three of the judges expressed surprise that the couples were in the bottom two.
Turning to partner Brad when her elimination was announced, Ms Fox expressed gratitude for his work with her.
"I'm so proud of Brad and the patience he had to work with me - well done," she said.
