Good spot Des is the first confirmed celeb to be taking part, I wonder if we'll get one a day like Strictly.

I was thinking Martin King, although I think he is heavier - but I did see that he is stepping away from the TV3 weather.

Pjh, I did hear that Catherine Lynch and also Teresa Mannion are taking part.

Red Rock/ love & hate actress Denise McCormick, Fair city/ the fall actress Aoibhin Harris and model Thailia Hefferman have all been confirmed on Rte facebook/twitter

Ryan just posted on twitter a photo of himself, Kai and Guilia in Dublin so take it they are the other 2 dancers from Brendan's show who are pros

Bad when I heard of the pros more than the celebs still hoping it is a success

That's a better line up than I was expecting! Though Dr Eva might drive me a bit mental. Can't wait to see Des Cahill and Teresa Mannion

I quite like that lineup! I am now wondering who will be paired with the three pros I know, two men and a woman. Des Bishop is paired with someone called Julia, he referred to her on the Late Late on Friday, so he is not paired with an Irish pro.

I'm a bit surprised it's going under the DWTS brand rather than SCD, the latter would be far better known and has had several Irish contestants.

I dont think they are allowed, part of the BBC licensing deal to others countries is that the show can only be called SCD in the UK

kai and Giulia from BTF or if you like Ryan and Kai from Kings and Queens BGT (along with Neil and Katya)

I have heard of one other BTF dancer who may be in (will be interesting to see if they are )

Nope curtis is not who I have heard actually a female - interesting one of my pupils who was dancing btf recently with curtis/kai and gorka has started world tour with the show and curtis and kai no longer listed as part of the cast with that in mind he may be, but have no rumour re him as I say a female

Actually quite like that line up.

Although for those who dislike the J word I can see it coming out quite often if Teresa Mannion has any hint of talent at all, after her weather report last year

Is this going to be broadcast in the U.K. or any way we can watch online. Wonder if they'll be going with a 3 or 4 judge panel. Can see it being 3 personally.

Apparently going to be 3, an international judge who is Irish, a Dublin based Irish judge and a celebrity, don't know who the celeb is though.

We have tickets for the opening night just got the email this morning

can't off the top of my head think of an International judge who is Irish other than Chris Johnson (who is from Northern Ireland does that count ) I am sure there are others but like Chris and certainly has right background

From dance website:-

Chris Johnston was named World Class Adjudicator by the National Dance Council of America in 2003. Mr. Johnston is also qualified to teach and to adjudicate standard and Latin dance by the United Kingdom Alliance Ballroom Dance Society, and to teach and adjudicate American style smooth and rhythm dance by the National Dance Council of America. Currently he is qualified as; National Judge, World Class Judge, World Dance DanceSport Council Registered Adjudicator #43 - 2004.
