She truly is a wonderful dancer, and a very lovely person too.

Looking forward to this and seeing that we will be able to vote for the dancers is great. I love Strictly but do miss out in not being able to vote.

For UK people here is the link for RTE iplayer you might have to register and maybe put in an Irish address. What I did was with Strictly bbc page I looked up a shop address in UK and registered with the post code. Was able to vote one week but after that no.

Try out the RTE player try the late late show. I know the late late toy show is able to be viewed all over the world so maybe other programs are try it.

Looks like Lilia might be a judge, since she's not one of the pros.

That would be good and perhaps Darren will be a fellow judge ? I see that both are retweeting anything to so with DWTS Ireland.

If they impress I imagine a couple may transition over to Strictly perhaps?

Thanks for that I've downloaded the RTE player and it's working great

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


Me too!! I only know about half of the celebrities, but I don't care. Interesting to see if Des Bishop can shake his bits!!!!!! Wonder will "singing Bernie Walsh" make an appearance!

Wow - the wonderful Loraine Barry is going to be a judge. Strictly should have snapped her up...fantastic news for DWTS Ireland

I am really looking forward to this! The Irish pros are all lovely dancers, I have seen what they do with their pupils in student/teacher comps, so I have no doubt that they will do a good job with their celebs. I see that another pro is AJ Pritchard's brother, and AJ was terrific with Claudia Fragapane on SCD and I am sure his brother is equally as good. Great to have another dance show in the new year now that Strictly is finished

Some of the other Pro's are well known in the UK of course. Ryan and Ksenia , for example, are the current British National professional latin champions and have toured with Brendan Coles show. It will be fabulous.

The cast is of a surprisingly high standard (for a first series, at least) and some of the pros would have been incredible 'gets' for Strictly.

Indeed they would have been. But you really cannot get a judge with higher pedigree than Loraine. So well done DWTS Ireland.

Yes I saw them with Brendan Cole. Ryan is well known to many in the ballroom dance world here but I have never met him. John Edward Nolan, Sean Smullen and Karen Byrne are all lovely and very talented, I'm so pleased they are getting such a great chance.

That is very very true - maybe Strictly should look at her to replace Len, but I am not sure she would wish to play the personality game.

Looking at the pros a bit more, I can definitely see Kai joining Strictly if he impresses.

Curtis, Emily, Kai, Giulia, Ksenia, and Ryan are all having a Christmas dinner together this evening. From their instagram stories it looks like they're having a great time, and getting on really well.

Picture of them all
