Dancing with the Stars - Season 8
Season 8
Get ready to cha-cha, tango, and waltz your way into the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars. Filling your Sunday evenings with glitz and glamour from January 5, the RTÉ One series sees 11 well-known figures team up with a professional dancer to perform a live routine every week. Each pairing will have a different dancing genre to master every week, from the Charleston to Hip Hop, and they'll have just seven days to perfect their routine before performing live to the nation. The 11 celebrities taking on the challenge this year are: Aishah Akorede, Danny O'Carroll, Gearóid Farrelly, Jack Woolley, Mickey Joe Harte, Kayleigh Trappe, Elaine Crowley, Kevin Dundon, Rhys McClenaghan, Yasmin Seky and Joanna Donnelly.
Joining the 11 professional dancers this year are new dancers Alex Vladimirov, Rebecca Scott, Maciej Zieba and Daniela Roze who joins returning dancers Robert Rowiński, Simone Arena, Ervinas Merfeldas, Laura Nolan, Stephen Vincent, Denys Samson and Salome Chachua.
Jennifer Zamparelli and Doireann Garrihy will be back hosting this year. The two-time Dancing with the Stars winner and professional dancer Karen Byrne will join the judging panel in 2025 alongside longstanding judges Loraine Barry, Brian Redmond and Arthur Gourounlian.
