2025 really has been Kayleigh Trappe’s year.
She appeared on Dancing with the Stars and made it to the final, which is no small feat.
Now she has landed a dream job presenting her very own show.
Yes, she really is just going up and up!
The Monaghan woman revealed that she would be hosting her own radio show on TALKSport called Mnásplaining.
The show, which will focus on women in sports, is a play on the term mansplaining with the Irish word for women, mná.
“Introducing the host of our brand new show MNÁsplaining @kayleigh_trappe … coming soon,” TALKSport Ireland wrote on social media.
Kayleigh commented: “Here we go! Absolutely buzzing to be your host and get all the good stuff.”

She was met with the sweetest messages from her pals, including Dancing with the Stars alum Aishah Akorede who wrote: “Loveeee congratulations.”
“Can’t wait for episode 1 best of luck,” Dave Stig, Jack Woolley’s fiancé, said.
This is so exciting!
We caught up with Kayleigh earlier this year, who reflected on how far she’s come over the last few years.
“I get emotional even thinking about it, about the younger Kayleigh. Honestly, she wouldn’t believe it. It’s why the teacher in me is so passionate now to push kids and encourage them to follow their dreams,” she told us.
“I was lucky I had teaching and always had a fall-back, but at the same time to take a career break and go full-whack with this, I don’t know where the courage came from because it’s not something I’d have ever even considered years ago. Younger me would be in utter disbelief, but also delighted.
“I spent 22 years of my life living behind the fear of what people think, feeling like I wouldn’t be capable of achieving anything. Even when it came to teaching, I never imagined I’d have the confidence to get up in front of a classroom. Then when this started, it’s another level. I’m so proud, I really am. This has been my dream forever, but one that I never thought would come true. I’m really, really happy in life right now and I just hope it continues, onwards and upwards.”
We can’t wait to tune in.
