Dancing with the Stars is back on our screens and we couldn’t be more excited!
You can find out everything you need to know about the first show here.
Blu Hydrangea absolutely killed it with her Cha-Cha and she blew the judges away as she was awarded 24 points.
Meanwhile, Rory Cowan failed to bring the heat as he was given just 11 points by the judging panel.
Both Katja Mia and Laura Fox brought the fire and were awarded 23 points. Seriously they kicked off the show in style.
Jason Smyth and Karen Byrne wowed with their foxtrot with Wild Youth star David Whelan bringing the drama with his tango!
And while the judges have had their say, we know it’s not just their opinion that counts when it comes to who continues on in Dancing with the Stars.
Viewers at home were able to vote this week and of course social media was absolutely lit with people sharing their opinions!
Everyone was delighted that the show was back and shared their support for their favourite contestants!
Well DUNNE Eileen 👏👏👏

Although others disagreed with the judges! We’ll see a lot of this over the next three months!
