Mary Kennedy looked fabulous yesterday evening as she performed a jive with her new partner.
Earlier yesterday evening the news broke that RTE Presenter and Journalist, Keelin Shanley has passed away at just 52.
Once Mary received her feedback from the judges and was being interviewed off the dance-floor by Nicky Byrne she paid a touching tribute to her colleague.
“She was just a gorgeous woman, a colleague in the newsroom, and I know that everybody in RTE will be very, very sad to hear about her passing.”
Mary went on to say; “She was so young, she was a robust journalist but she was kindness itself. She was always obliging and just a lovely lovely person.”
She finished her tribute sharing her sympathies with “her husband Conor and her children Ben and Lucy.”
