Shane Cameron, Ben Barrington leave Dancing With the Stars

Nerida Lister and Shane Cameron have been eliminated from Dancing With the Stars.

The '80s is known as the decade of bad taste - and it's left a bad taste in the mouth of two couples who were eliminated from tonight's episode of Dancing With the Stars.

Ben Barrington and Shane Cameron have both been eliminated after coming last in Sunday night's '80s-themed dance off, leaving four celebrities in the running to win the TV3 reality show.

Barrington, an actor, and his dance partner Krystal Stewart earned just 20 points for their routine performed to Queen's song, Another One Bites the Dust.

Barrington, an actor, said he was "proud" for taking part in the show.

"I came on the show to learn something new I could do and to have a good time, and I did those things. It's been a journey ... with some low lows," he told host Dominic Bowden before thanking Stewart for her time and patience.

"I've got no regrets - we're leaving on a high."

Cameron, a boxer, and his partner Nerida Cortese had earned 23 points for their samba performed to Gloria Estefan's Conga.

He thanked his parents, his wife, and Cortese for training him.

"It's been absolutely fantastic to get this far - I'm blown away. I'm just stoked to get this far."

The remaining contestants include Chrystal Chenery, Simon Barnett, Siobhan Marshall and Jay-Jay Harvey.
