""I'm so excited to be joining Dancing with the Stars Ireland as head judge," Mabuse said. "Dance has been such a huge part of my life and to now have the opportunity to celebrate the incredible talent and passion that Ireland has to offer, is such a joy. As someone who has been on both sides of the judging table - from performing as a professional dancer on Strictly - to sitting on panels on different shows, I know just how much heart, hard work and magic goes into every performance and how much this show means to everyone. "Irish audiences have always been so warm, supportive and fun-loving, so I already know we're going to have the most amazing time together. I'm looking forward to having the best time with my fellow judges and can't wait to bring my love for performance and, of course, a whole lot of sparkle, to this fabulous show.""
""I'm beyond thrilled to be stepping into the ballroom as co-host of DWTS this year," she said. "Having been a contestant on the show, I know exactly how nerve-wracking and magical it all is -""
Dancing with the Stars Ireland will return in January and feature Oti Mabuse as head judge. Mabuse won Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 and 2020 and has judged Dancing on Ice from 2022 to 2025. She has appeared on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and The Masked Dancer. RTÉ 2FM's Laura Fox will co-present with Jennifer Zamparelli, standing in for Doireann Garrihy. Fox reached the Dancing with the Stars final last year with partner Denys Samson and described the hosting role as thrilling given her contestant experience. The show aims to bring lively Sunday night entertainment and celebrate Irish dance talent.
