Cody Simpson leaves Dancing with the Stars

Australian pop star Cody Simpson has been eliminated from the US reality program Dancing with the Stars.

Australian pop star Cody Simpson has become the latest celebrity to be booted off US reality show Dancing with the Stars.

Simpson and his professional dance partner Witney Carson failed to win over show judges and viewers with their samba, performed to the tunes of I Can't Wait to Be King from The Lion King and were eliminated on Monday night.

Simpson admits he didn't expect to leave the competition so soon, but is excited to return to his pop career.

"I'm sad... mixed feelings. It's kind of like, one amazing experience is over, Witney and I are kind of sad about it, but at the same time, I can just get back to what I do... start working on the new album and move on to the next phase of my career," he told Eonline.com.

The 17 year old is planning to make full use of his new talents, adding, "I'm feeling as though now I can apply those things ... to my own career, my own music."

Stars still in the competition include former Full House actress Candace Cameron Bure, former Wonder Years star Danica McKellar and funnyman-turned-game show host Drew Carey.
