A voting system usually determines the series eliminations with the bottom two teams required to compete in a dance-off, however, Matt who found himself in the bottom two alongside AFL star Gavin Wanganeen, chose to quit the competition. “I’ve loved everything about this, but my ankle is cooked,” Matt told hosts Daryl Somers and Sonia Kruger during Sunday night's episode. “I can’t dance again tonight so what I want to do is to concede and give the win to Gavin, who did brilliantly today and I’m so proud to be doing this for you, brother.”Responding to the surprising news, Daryl revealed that the show had "never had this happen" and turned to the judges to see their reaction. “I mean, injuries happen and there’s nothing you can do about that,” Craig Revel Horwood shared.“I’ve been a dancer all my life, if you’re injured you shouldn’t dance on an injury – so Matt, I think you’ve made the right decision. Sad to see you go, but Gavin, darling welcome, for you get another life on the show now.”“You’re absolutely doing the right thing and thank you for giving us determination and your courage, you’ve been wonderful,” Sharna Burgess added.“And I’m gonna give you a big hug after the show.”This highly anticipated 2023 series marks the show's second instalment on the network, having originally aired from 2004 to 2015 before briefly moving to Channel 10.
