On The Late Late Show last night, Ryan Tubridy was joined on the couch by legendary former munster and Ireland scrum-half Peter Stringer, country music sensation Cliona Hagan, and The Young Offenders star Demi Isaac Oviawe, who confirmed they will take part in the new series of Dancing with the Stars when it returns to RTÉ One in the New Year.

Speaking about his participation in the hit television show Peter Stringer said:

I’ve never danced on a dance floor before so going from that to dancing in front of a live audience will be a whole new experience for me. I’m nervous but up for the challenge!

The Young Offender star Demi Isaac Oviawe said: “I’m so excited to be involved in this year’s show. I can’t wait to get started and learn a new skill. I’m hoping that I can be a role model for young black women in Ireland and maybe some might even follow in my dance steps!”
