Ryan McShane is back on Dancing with the Stars Ireland for the third year in a row.
The pro dancer clearly knows a thing or two about who’s going to stand out from the crowd when the show airs in the new year.
The gang have been training hard over the last few weeks and Ryan says there is already some stand out stars.
One person who’s caught his eye is former scrum-half, Peter Stringer.
“Peter Stringer is really good. I really like Peter. Not only is he a really lovely guy but he’s just got something about him,” Ryan revealed.
Brendan O’Carroll’s sister and co-star is also among those Ryan reckons will bring their a game.
Ryan says that Eilish O’Carrol, who plays Winnie McGoogan on Mrs Brown’s Boys ‘could be a dark horse’!
Though the dancer would not give away who he’s been partnered up with this year, he also teased that the comedian this year will bring more than just laughs.
“Fred Cook, my god!” he told the Six O’Clock show.
The pro dancer met his girlfriend Thalia Heffernan on the first series of the show, while pro dancer Karen Byrne is now dating Jake Carter, who she was paired up with in the second series.
Will we see romance blossom in series three?
The show is set to air on the 6th of January with a whole host of Irish favourites joining the show.
They are, in alphabetic order, Clelia Murphy, Cliona Hagan, Darren Kennedy, Demi Isaac Oviawe, Denis Bastick, Eilish O’Carroll, Fred Cooke, Holly Carpenter, Johnny Ward, Mairead Ronan and Peter Stringer.
