Influencer Vanessa Borck eliminated from 'Let's Dance' - Vanessa 'Nessi' Borck exits Let's Dance after emotional tango flop
Vanessa 'Nessi' Borck has left Let's Dance after failing to secure enough points in the latest round. The reality star, best known as Princess Charming from the dating show of the same name, performed a tango inspired by her first kiss at 15. Despite strong viewer support, her score fell short of keeping her in the competition.
Borck took to the dance floor with a routine centred on a personal memory—her first romantic kiss as a teenager. The performance, however, did not impress the judges. Joachim Llambi criticised the lack of eroticism, chemistry, and emotional connection between Borck and her partner.
Judge Jorge González also noted her visible nerves, pointing out that her legs were shaking throughout the routine. The panel awarded her a score of 7, which, combined with viewer votes, was not enough to avoid elimination. Her departure means the show has now lost its only same-sex couple this season. Before joining *Let's Dance*, Borck gained fame as the lead in *Princess Charming*, a dating reality series. She also co-ran the popular Instagram account *coupleontour* with her ex-wife, Ina, amassing 1.8 million followers. Earlier in the competition, Borck had narrowly escaped elimination. In the first show, she and partner Victoria Sauerwald scored 8 points for their Viennese Waltz, securing their place in the next round.
Borck's exit leaves Let's Dance without its sole same-sex pairing this year. The former Princess Charming star had built a strong fanbase through reality TV and social media. Her journey on the show ends after a performance that judges found lacking in passion and technical execution.
