Dancing with the Stars comes to an end on Sunday night.
Katelyn Cummins, Eric Roberts, Tolü Makay and Paudie Moloney will battle it out to lift the Mirrorball this weekend.
Each couple will dance two routines on the night.
First, each couple will perform a routine from the season as selected by the judges. This could be a routine the judges feel the couple could improve, or one they’d just love to see again.
Katelyn Cummins and Leonardo Lini
Rose of Tralee Katelyn Cummins will reprise her Movie Week role of Snow White, as she and pro partner Leonardo Lini dance an American Smooth to ‘Whistle While You Work’ by Rachel Zegler.
Paudie Moloney and Laura Nolan
The Traitors Ireland star Paudie Moloney and his pro partner Laura Nolan will throw back to Week 4 and Country Week with a Quickstep to ‘Stop the World and Let Me Off’ by Declan Nerney.
Eric Roberts and Arianna Favaro
Ireland AM presenter Eric Roberts and his partner Arianna Favarro will dance their Fright Night Charleston to ‘Happy’ by C2C featuring Derek Martin.
Tolü Makay and Maciej Zięba
Singer-songwriter Tolü Makay and her partner Maciej Zieba will dance their routine from all the way back in Week 2, in the hopes that their American Smooth to Olivia Dean’s smash hit ‘Man I Need’ will recapture the judges’ adoration a second time round.
The couples will then each perform a second ‘Showdance’ routine, a freestyle performance that allows them to combine different dance styles to showcase the creativity, skills and storytelling abilities they’ve learned throughout their journey.
Katelyn Cummins and Leonardo Lini
Katelyn and Leonardo will dance to ‘Ordinary’ by Alex Warren.
Paudie Moloney and Laura Nolan
Paudie and Laura will dance to the Andy Williams’ classic ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’.
Eric Roberts and Arianna Favaro
Eric and Ariana will dance to ‘Can’t Hold Us’ by Macklemore x Ryan Lewis.
Tolü Makay and Maciej Zięba
Tolü and Maciej will dance to the ‘Kill the Lights’ by Alex Newell, Jess Glynne, DJ Cassidy and Nile Rodgers.
All eight eliminated celebrities will return on the night, including Michael Fry, Brian Kennedy, Amber Wilson, Anne Cassin, Niamh Kavanagh, Stephanie Kelly, Philip Doyle and Jordan Dargan. The contestants and their pro partners will return a very special one-off comeback performance to Myles Smith’s ‘Stay (If You Wanna Dance)’.
The judges will give their scores as usual, but this will be just for guidance, as it’s the public vote alone that will decide the champions of Dancing with the Stars 2026.
The Dancing with the Stars Grand Finale airs on Sunday 15 March at 6:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
