Dancing with the Stars returned to our screens after almost two years and it was clear the contestants, judges and presenters were thrilled to be back on the dancefloor, as was reigning champion Lottie Ryan who delighted viewers with the Dora the Explorer-inspired salsa that impressed during her winning season.
For the show’s opening episode on RTÉ One, half of the contestants made their dancing debut amid a sea of glittery gúnas and tight trousers while the rest will be entertaining us next weekend, with the first elimination taking place on week three.
