For “GNTM” star Alex Mariah Peter (24), the “Let’s Dance” trip (on RTL and RTL) is over again. She and her professional dance partner Alexandru Ionel (28) were eliminated at the end of the first regular competition show on Friday (February 24th). In her Instagram stories, she then vented – and gave the all-clear: “Short check-in: I’m fine!” She also says with a smile: “Somehow I’m almost a little relieved.”

But of course she wasn’t just happy. She was particularly sorry for Alexandru Ionel’s early departure: “I’m so incredibly sorry for Alexandru Ionel, because he’s got sooo much talent,” she told her followers. The story goes on to say that she wishes him for the next year that he can finally show it.
