Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Bling Empire star Christine Chiu and her pro partner Pasha Pashkov were eliminated in the third episode of Dancing with the Stars as season 30 saw teams performing Britney Spears’ biggest hits.

Chiu and Pashkov were placed in the bottom two alongside Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore and her pro partner Brandon Armstrong.

Last week, contestants Cody Risby and Cheryl Burke announced that they had tested positive for Covid-19, so instead of performing on the DWTS stage, they delivered a virtual performance from their homes.

American professional Latin and ballroom dancer Derek Hough was absent from Monday’s (4 October) episode due to potential coronavirus exposure.

The competition series officially began on 20 September, where Tyra Banks returned as host, having taken over from co-hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews last year.

In the US, Dancing with the Stars airs on the ABC network. If you miss the TV broadcast, you can stream the episodes the next day on ABC’s website and on Hulu.

Dancing with the Stars doesn’t air in the UK, but the performances are available to watch in full on the show’s YouTube channel.
