He wasn't surprised by the elimination.

Fox News' Geraldo Rivera was the first to get booted from the ballroom with his less than fancy footwork on Dancing with the Stars.

No one was shocked on Monday's episode, not even the TV icon.

He told IE backstage: “Maybe you shouldn't wait till you're 72 to start dancing!”

Rivera dressed up as his friend Donald Trump, complete with blonde wig and spray tan, while his partner, Edyta Sliwinska, channeled Trump's wife Melania.

Trump’s ex-wife Marla Maples thinks the Republican frontrunner would like the Fox News senior correspondent’s get-up.

“I'm sure Donald will get a kick out of it,” she said backstage to IE.

Maples and her partner Tony Dovolani heated up the dance floor with a tango. Backstage, she shared her excitement for her former step-daughter, Ivanka Trump, on the birth of her third child.

She said: “Ivanka's the most beautiful mommy, so proud of her.”
