It wouldn’t be the first time that our stars have swapped the Love Island villa for the Dancing with the Stars dancefloor.
Matthew MacNabb famously found love on DWTS, and he recently married pro-dancer Laura Nolan.
Now it looks like the people behind the show are eager to get this year’s batch of Irish Islanders onto the RTÉ series.
Sean “Fitzy” Fitzgerald and Charleen Murphy have been bringing the drama to the villa, so it’s no surprise they want to carry that into the Dancing with the Stars world.
An RTÉ insider told The Irish Sun: “Fitzy and Charleen are now top of the wish list for Dancing With The Stars next year. Not only because of their fame on Love Island, but also because of their huge social media followings.”
They went on to say that they want to “attract younger viewers” so getting the two Irish Love Island stars is a “the number one priority”.
“DWTS bookers will be hoping they do well on Love Island, but not well enough that RTE can’t afford to book them next year, as UK offers would trump any deals they can do in Ireland,” the source added.
“It would be a dream for RTE to have them on DWTS next year posting their rehearsal clips and behind-the-scenes. It would be a massive boost to ratings.”
Watch this space.
