Dancing With The Stars has announced the final two celebs joining their lineup – Jordan Conroy and Matthew MacNaab.
Announced this morning on Jennifer Zamparelli RTÉ 2FM slot, the two now complete the lineup, bringing the number of celebrities competing for the glitterball up to 11.
Let’s take a closer look at them.
Far removed from the world of dancing, Jordan Conroy is an Irish rugby union player, playing for the Ireland national rugby sevens team. However, ready to take on a new challenge, swapping his rugby shirt for spandex, Jordan shared how excited he is join the DWTS team.
“I’m really excited to put my dancing skills to the test and looking forward to swapping out rugby boots for the shiny dancing shoes! It will definitely be a change of scenery, I can’t wait to have fun with it and learn different dances – I do love a good boogie! I have to say there’s a winning mentality and I’m in to win!”
Taking part in this year’s Love Island, you’ll most likely recognise Matthew for his short but memorable stint in the famous villa. The Down native entered the show during ‘Casa Amor’ striking up a brief romance with islander Kaz. Taking everything and anything this year throws at him Matthew said:
“I’m really excited to join the show, I love an adventure and when the opportunity to learn to dance came along it seemed like a great challenge to start off the New Year. I’ve always wanted to learn to dance, so why not do it on live television?”
And that’s it, all of our contestants how been announced, more on that here. Presenting the 2022 season, Jennifer Zamparelli and Nicky Byrne are likely polishing up their act as we speak, with the series landing RTE next month.
We can’t wait!
