Maia Dunphy is ready to Rumba on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

It was a no-brainer for Maia Dunphy to twirl into ‘Dancing With the Stars’, she tells Ciara McDonnell

The pan-stick is being primed and the spandex glitter stretched — Dancing With The Stars is returning to our screens shortly, starring a new bevvy of Irish celebrity talent, which this year includes author and television presenter Maia Dunphy. She can’t reveal who her dance partner is quite yet, or give us an inkling of what her first dance might be, but she does let me into a secret. She told her dance partner a big fat lie last night.

“Well, it was a white lie really,” she tells me, while icing a knee, which has borne the brunt of a week of brutal training and simultaneously playing with her son Tom.
