Lucci gets kicked off 'Dancing'

LOS ANGELES, CA

The "All My Children" actress and her professional partner, Tony Dovolani, were eliminated tonight from ABC's popular dancing competition. The pair received the judges' lowest score -- 24 out of 30 -- for their paso doble routine Monday. After viewer votes were combined with the judges' scores, the Daytime Emmy-winning soap star was dismissed.

For the first time in the competition, the dancers were split into two groups on Monday's performance show. Lucci headed Team Cha-Cha with actor Cody Linley and singer Lance Bass, scoring a 20 from the judges. Former football star Warren Sapp led Team Paso Doble with TV personality Brooke Burke and Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene, nabbing a score of 29.
