He’s renowned for a string of arrests and boomeranging through rehab, but it seems that Andy Dick took his dancing very seriously.

The madcap comic teared-up on Tuesday when he was eliminated from Dancing With The Stars after making it through to the seventh round.

‘It’s been the best,’ choked the 47-year-old, who has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for the last decade.

Tears of a clown: Comedian Andy Dick wept as he faced elimination on this week's Dancing With The Stars

‘Carrie Ann I’m going to kill you for that five,’ he said waving his fist at the judge who gave him the lowest score on Monday night’s Latin-themed evening.

‘It was all your fault,’ added the comedian, while trying to laugh off the failure.

However he was clearly one of the weaker contestants and his likeable personality could not carry him any further.

'It's amazing I made it this far,' he laughed, while wiping tears from under his glasses and kissing his partner on the head.

Andy had been left in the bottom two alongside General Hospital heartthrob Ingo Rademacher who faced elimination after some stodgy and 'staccato' hip movements on Latin night.
