Dayl of woe as Kingdom comes to Aidan’s aid in public DWTS vote

And then there were three... and an emotional Dayl Cronin should have been one of them but for the curse of the public vote, which once again turned a dance contest into a popularity vote.

The former boyband singer and his partner Ksenia Zsikhotska slipped — literally — out of RTÉ’s Dancing with the Stars last night after a hotly contested semi-final in which the judge’s vote had them third out of the four couples.

That leaves Denise McCormack, Aoibhín Garrihy and Aidan O’Mahony to battle it out in next Sunday’s final.
