Thalia Heffernan was the second contestant to be eliminated from Dancing With The Stars, as she exited the competition last night.
Reports last week suggested that the model is having a fling with one of the professional dancers on the RTE show. She was spotted sharing a kiss with Denise McCormack’s partner Ryan McShane when the cast went clubbing last weekend, and a source close to the show said their relationship is now somewhat of an “open secret.”
Speaking to the Herald the source said, “Everyone noticed that Thalia and Ryan have got close in recent weeks and always have a great laugh together. They all had a great night out in Krystle last Sunday, and at one point Thalia and Ryan were seen sharing a kiss in a corner of the club, so it’s kind of an open secret now among the cast and crew.”
Their romance has now been confirmed further, as Ryan shared a pic of himself and the 21-year-old on Instagram last night. Alongside it he wrote, “My winner.” Thalia then commented on the cute pic with a love heart.
Despite this however, the Dubliner is remaining tight lipped about her new love interest. She was heard on Ryan Tubridy’s Radio 1 show this morning speaking about her time on the programme. The presenter questioned her on Ryan but she decided to keep things private.
“I think I’ll remain silent on that matter to be honest, just for the sake of it. I’ve got to keep people guessing, you know. I’m out of the competition now so I have to have some sort of interest, keep people interested.
“There are so many cameras backstage and on stage that if there is a romance somewhere there’s no doubt that it’s been captured somewhere. So it will come out somewhere, if it is happening,” she said.
We;ll have to keep our eye on these two!
