Flatley kept shoes from Riverdance success

Michael Flatley has revealed he still has the shoes that high-kicked him to superstardom at the Eurovision 20 years ago.

The dancer also told ITV’s This Morning he still keeps a seat empty in the front row of his shows for his late granny, who taught him his first dance steps.

The 55-year-old, who is set to go back on tour with a new stage show, Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games, said he still has the shoes he used at the Riverdance interval act at the 1994 Eurovision in Dublin.
