Dancing with the Stars returns to RTÉ next year

According to reports, former news reporter, Eileen Dunne, is set to take part.

RSVP reports: "Eileen Dunne is one of the big names secured for Dancing with the Stars next year.

"Viewers didn’t know whether or not the show would be coming back amid cutbacks in RTÉ this year but the team behind it were working hard to ensure its return."

The 'Dancing with the Stars' team is reportedly delighted to have her on board.

The team is also thrilled to have such a big household name taking part in the series because "everyone at home will know her".

"She was part of RTÉ for 40 years and viewers will be delighted to see her back on screens again," they added.

Both Doireann Garrihy and Jennifer Zamparelli will return as hosts for next year's series.

However, professional dancer, Emily Barker, confirmed she won't be returning.

The dancer announced the news on Instagram and explained why it was time to hang up her dancing shoes.

Emily has been part of the show since she was 18 years old, taking part in six seasons of the popular RTÉ show, but believes it’s time to move on.
