While last week’s judges’ table-topper, Olympic gymnast Rhys McClenaghan and his partner Laura Nolan will bring the darkness with their vampire-inspired Paso Doble to O Fortuna by Hidden Citizens.

In addition to their individual performances, all five couples will compete in the ‘Scare-athon’, a dance marathon that will have everyone on the floor simultaneously to Tenacious D’s version of The Time Warp. The Scareathon promises to be a thrilling highlight of the night, and will test the couples’ endurance, creativity and showmanship. With extra scores from the judges up for grabs, everything is to play for.

The two couples with the overall lowest combined points from the judges and public vote will face off in the final dreaded Dance-Off of the season, which will see one celebrity miss out on a coveted spot in the grand finale.

Dancing with the Stars, the semi-final airs on Sunday, 9th March at 6:30pm on RTÉ One
