Former Irish dancing champ aware of competition fixing 'throughout the years'

Layla Healy believes that upcoming competitions should be postponed until an investigation is finished to ensure dancers get the outcome they deserve.

A former Irish dancing world champion has said she is not surprised to hear allegations of cheating and fixing, saying competitions had become "very political". 

Layla Healy said that although the allegations are difficult to prove, the fact that more people are coming out will help to shine a light on the practices. “I’m not shocked, I am aware of it carrying on throughout the years,” she said.
