The final six couples for the new season of Dancing with the Stars have been revealed! The first six were announced earlier this week, and with them finalising the last of them today it means we are one step closer to the show’s return to our screens this weekend!
The last season had to end sooner than planned back in early 2020 due to the pandemic, which also meant it couldn’t go ahead at all in 2021. Now it is finally returning and it’s exactly what we need to brighten up the post-Christmas slump!
Cathy Kelly and Maurizio Benenato
Best-selling Irish author is swapping writing for waltzing this year, and she’ll be joined by new pro dancer, Maurizio Benenato.
Billy McGuinness and Hannah Kelly
Aslan star, Billy McGuinness is well used to life on stage, but how will he fare on the dancefloor?
Billy will be joined by new pro dancer, Hannah Kelly from Dublin who has a wealth of experience as she’s been dancing since she was just three years old.
Matthew MacNabb and Laura Nolan
Matthew McNabb first appeared on our screens last year as the Co Down native went looking for love on reality show, Love Island.
Now, Matthew will be hitting the dancefloor instead and he’ll be paired with pro dancer, Laura Nolan who joined the show back in 2020 when she danced with Brian Dowling.
Nina Carberry and Pasquale La Rocca
Top sportswoman, Nina Carberry will be put through her paces in a different way as she competes for the glitterball trophy.
Nina will be paired by the reigning Dancing with the Stars champion, Pasquale La Rocca, who won with Lottie Ryan back in 2020.
Neil Delamere and Kylee Vincent
Irish comedian Neil Delamere will be joined by pro dancer, Kylee Vincent on the dancefloor this Sunday.
Kylee will be competing against her husband, pro dancer Stephen Vincent on this year’s show as he is paired with Paralympian Ellen Keane!
Erica Cody and Denys Samson
Singer Erica Cody absolutely loves to dance, so we can’t wait to see her hit the dancefloor in this year’s show.
Erica will be joined by new pro dancer, Denys Samson who has previously appeared on the Ukranian version of the show.
