Jay-Jay Harvey and Enrique Johns have been eliminated from Dancing With the Stars.

Jay-Jay Harvey has been eliminated from Dancing With the Stars - but the radio DJ seemed confused as her name was read out on tonight's show.

"Is it us - are we getting kicked out? Aww ... sad" an awkward Harvey muttered to her dance partner Enrique Johns as realisation hit she was heading home.

She later took to Twitter to deny being confused, saying she was "taking the piss".

@nzherald I was not confused, I was taking the piss! I knew my time was up. I enjoyed every minute. It was awesome fun.

Harvey and Johns had found themselves in the bottom two alongside Chrystal Chenery and Jonny Williams in the last elimination episode before Sunday night's finale.

Harvey's name was read out, but she appeared blank for several seconds - then told host Dominic Bowden she hadn't prepared a farewell speech.

"It's been awesome, I got further than I thought I would," Harvey told Bowden."I've had a really great time, it's been so much fun, it's been awesome to have all this support," she said.

She later told TV3 she thought her best dancing had been done during her last week on the show.

"It would have been awesome to go to the top three - but they've got the best dancers there ... it was hardcore ... it gets easier every week. I think we did the best (dances) this week."

She later took to Twitter to thank fans and her husband Dominic Harvey for their support.

Thank you for your votes and support. I am proud to have made it this far. It was so much fun. Good luck to Chrystal, Siobhan &Simon #DWSTNZ

The Edge radio DJ had pulled out all the stops in Sunday night's double dance-off, dressing up like a naughty school teacher for one performance, before enlisting the help of Harvey for another.

Harvey later stripped to show off his underwear, which was adorned with photos of the show's three judges.
