Karen Byrne joined the Dancing with the Stars judging panel this year.
And she reflected on her first year as a judge rather than a professional dancer.
The show came to an end with a dramatic finale on Sunday night with Rhys McClenaghan and his pro partner Laura Nolan.
“What a season! 11 weeks of pure fun,” Karen wrote on social media with pictures of her over the course of the show.

“Thank you to everyone for all your kind support and messages. I loved every second of it. Special thanks to @adammcgarrybyrne & @ginny_cooney @shinawillarry and @shinawil_ltd team.”
She went on to thank her team including her hair and makeup team and stylist.
“and so happy for @rhysmcc1 @la_nolan guuuuuu on the CHAMPSSSSS,” she wrote.
Karen went on to share a video of her doing a dance with her fellow judges, Loraine Barry, Brian Redmond and Arthur Gourounlian.

“This was the first day I started my new chapter on DWTS. Was nervous and excited. 11 weeks later I can say I loved spending the weekends with these guys. When 3 becomes 4,” she captioned the video.
It’s been a big year for Karen as her partner, Jake Carter also popped the question. Jake shared the romantic moment that he got down on bended knee to ask Karen Byrne to marry him.
“Here’s to forever…” Jake captioned the video that saw him walk onto the Dancing with the Stars dancefloor where he and Karen first met.
How cute!
