‘Brilliant and funny’ gush RTE viewers as Danny O’Carroll dedicates performance to dad Brendan on Dancing With The Stars
RTE Dancing With The Stars viewers were all blown away as Danny O’Carroll performed a “brilliant” dance dedicated to his dad.
The hit RTE show returned tonight with the highly anticipated Dedication Night, where each dancer paid tribute the people who have inspired them the most.

Brian Redmond, Arthur Gourounlian, Loraine Barry and new judge Karen Byrne were back to give their professional and tough-talking reviews and scores tonight.
Mrs Brown’s Boys star Danny O’Carroll danced an outstanding cha-cha-cha tonight to She’s A Lady by Tom Jones.
The actor fought back tears during the show as he dedicated the performance to his dad Brendan O’Carroll.
Viewers got the chance to see the bond between the dad and son in a special video clip Danny recorded to share with fans before his dance.
Making the connection even stronger, Danny dipped into the family sitcom where he starred as character Buster Brady – with dance partner Salome Chachua glammed up as Agnes Browne herself.
And this is despite the Georgian pro dancer having never seen a single episode of Mrs Brown’s Boys.
The pair made it the closest Dancing With The Stars will ever get to having the real Mrs Brown on the dance floor.
The 41-year-old also got emotional as he spoke fondly about his father during tonight’s show.
The judges were blown away by Danny and Salome’s performance as they gave them a total score of 31.
RTE viewers all raced to social media to gush over the heartwarming dedication dance.
Mark said: “Danny you were brilliant. Nailed it.”
Daisy wrote: “Another great performance, well done.”
Sarah gushed: “Brilliant and funny.”
Matt commented: “Amazing.”
‘FANTASTIC’
Another added: “Fantastic.”
RTE viewers were also left “crying” tonight as Olympian Jack Woolley dedicated his dance to Olympic hero Kellie Harrington on Dancing With The Stars.
Speaking fondly of Kellie on tonight’s show, Jack said: “Kellie is my biggest support and inspiration but most importantly she’s a friend.
“Two weeks after coming home from Tokyo Olympic Games, I was assaulted in Dublin City Centre and had to undergo plastic surgery and ended up getting twenty-seven stitches.
“She was the first person that turned up at my house to make sure I was feeling good and just to make sure I was okay.
“It meant a lot to me because I got to see that caring, loving side of Kellie that not many people get to see in the sporting world.”
In the aftermath of retaining her crown in the women’s 60kg division in Paris, Kellie did a bit of serenading as she led the crowd in a rendition of ‘Grace’ – a song synonymous with The Tones.
As Jack told Kellie he was performing to the much-loved song tonight, the Dubliner responded: “There won’t be a dry eye in the building.”
Fury as prisoner wins complaint against jail bosses after there was no MILK for his porridge
A PRISON inmate won a complaint after there was no milk for his porridge.
Jail bosses were rapped by the ombudsman for only providing water for the lag’s breakfast oats at weekends.

A third prisoner, who was deaf, got a refund as his TV had no subtitles, although he used the set to play computer games.
Another inmate had £8.22 refunded after it was ruled they were unfairly charged for a replacement kettle.
The cases were uncovered in a Freedom of Information probe over moans to the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman from 2023 to 2024.
The watchdog upheld 21 gripes in a year — nine about accommodation, eight over equality and four about food.
Kevin Moore, retired Detective Chief Superintendent and Head of CID at Sussex Police, said: “As someone whose job it was to keep serious criminals off the street in order to keep the public safe, this makes my blood boil.
“This is just so typical of today’s ‘woke’ society now impacting on the so-called rights of prisoners who are supposed to be locked up as a punishment for the crimes they have committed.
“I am sure that the general public are as appalled as I am regarding some of these outcomes. I accept that prisoners have rights but to me, this is stretching these to the limits.”
The ombudsman declined to comment.

Antony pops up with assist just 14 minutes into Real Betis debut as fans say ‘Man Utd were the problem’
MANCHESTER UNITED flop Antony has made an immediate impact during his loan stint with Real Betis.
The winger joined United in 2022 following a whopping £86million deal with Ajax.
However, the Brazil international never lived up to his billing at Old Trafford as he only managed a mere total of 12 goals and five assists in 96 appearances with Man Utd.
Antony’s struggles continued this season and that led to him falling out of favour under new manager Ruben Amorim.
That is why the Red Devils offloaded the Brazilian to Real Betis on loan until the end of the season.
And the ex-Ajax star hit the ground running on his first game with Betis in LaLiga against Athletic Bilbao at the Benito Villamarin.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini named him in his starting line-up and the forward showed his worth just 14 minutes into his debut.
Antony fired a shot from the right flank, which was saved by Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon.
But the incoming Isco picked up the rebound and opened the scoring for the hosts from close range.
That meant a lot to Antony as he passionately celebrated in front of the Betis fans.

United supporters were left gobsmacked after witnessing the loanee’s immediate impact in Spain.
This comes after other Man Utd rejects found greener pastures away from Old Trafford, such as Scott McTominay, Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho.
And some of the United faithful are starting to believe the club is the reason why so many talented players fail to deliver.
One fan tweeted: “Antony already causing problems. Manchester United were the problem.”
Another commented: “Anthony has provided an indirect assist on his debut. Maybe Manchester United is the problem after all.”
A third wrote: “Ahhahahaha, Antony leaves Man U, gets an assist. That club is so bad.”
This fan said: “Antony with the Assist, Man UTD was obviously the problem.”
And that one posted: “United players are immediately better when they leave United. Antony assist already.”

Murderer records hit drill rap song behind bars and earns £100s after posting video on YouTube
A DRILL rapper was able to record a track while in jail for murder — then have it posted on YouTube just hours after being sentenced.
Kammar Henry-Richards — handed a 37-year minimum tariff — used his police mugshot in a video.

They were all sentenced on the morning of January 14.
The song, titled C’est La Vie and boasting of making money from music in jail, was posted at 7.30pm that evening.
Under his drill tag Kay-O, the track racked up more than 450,000 plays on YouTube and Spotify.
And it ranked 16th on YouTube’s list of “trending” songs, earning him hundreds.
The killer is believed to have rapped into an illicit mobile while on remand at HMP Belmarsh after he was charged with murder.
Pals with access to his YouTube account are thought to have uploaded it.
His lyrics also reference smuggling items into jail and even the length of his prison term — suggesting some parts may have been recorded immediately after sentencing.
Last night, YouTube took down the track and gave Henry-Richards a lifetime ban after The Sun contacted the streaming giant.
However, the song was still on Spotify.
The Prison Service has launched an investigation.
Our revelations come days after 16-year-old Jimmy Mizzen’s killer Jake Fahri was recalled to jail after boasting about his crimes in drill raps.
Jimmy’s mum Margaret said: “Platforms that allow this type of music, especially from a convicted murderer, have serious questions to answer.”
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: “We are investigating this recording and have requested its removal.
“There is currently no evidence to suggest it was uploaded from jail, but any prisoner found breaking the rules will be punished.”

Sharing the shots with her followers, Maura captioned the post: “Sundays. @alo Ad.”
The star’s fans went wild in the comments section, with one gushing: “Omg neeeed this!!!!!!”
Another added: “So pretty in pink,” with a third saying: “Absolutely stunning.”
Maura’s comfy day in came after she joined some pals for a night out in Mayfair, where she wore a rather daring outfit.
The I’m A Celeb babe came dangerously close to a wardrobe malfunction as she showed off her killer tanned legs in a pair of teeny red leather shorts.
Stepping out of the hotel, Maura went braless as she wore a matching long-sleeve top to complete the look.
The influencer kept her hair slicked straight with tiny flicks at the end.
However, she became aware quickly that she may have gone a little too risky, laughing as she covered up her modesty with her hands and a giant clutch.
The star then had to fight against the elements as she led the group of girls to Cipriani restaurant, before they headed off to cocktail bar Dover Yard and then Mistress of Mayfair.
Maura was seen crossing the street as she guided her friends through London for the evening, but keeping a tight grip on her purse which she held close to her tummy.
The night out was in honour of celebrating her friend Leah Taylor’s birthday, with the stunning group making sure it was a night to remember.

TAOISEACH Micheal Martin has promised the Government will keep fighting to land an agreement for undocumented Irish people living in the United States.
There’s over 50,000 undocumented Irish living and working in the US, according to figures reported by American TV network CNN back in 2017.
And there are fears among the undocumented Irish in the US that they could be sent packing as President Donald Trump ramps up his campaign against illegal immigrants in the country.
Many of them have made their lives in America and have jobs and families after remaining in the US after their 90-day visa waiver scheme expired.
Addressing the issue, Taoiseach Martin said: “It has been very challenging for those who are undocumented in terms of their security and their lives.
“Many have established families and so forth there.
“But we would always be anxious and what we have always been seeking has been a legal channel where we could create opportunities for people to live in the US and vice versa for Americans living in Ireland.
“The problem is that that has been the case for a considerable length of time.
“I was involved in that in an earlier time when I was Foreign Minister, in terms of creating the work holiday programme, for example, which can then lead to visas for permanent work.
“It is quite limited but we managed to negotiate that and renegotiate it recently when I was Foreign Minister again.
“I think that is the most effective way to deal with this.”
The Fianna Fail leader added: “It has been very hard to get agreement in the House of Representatives for the past two decades on the undocumented.
“We were very unlucky not to be part of the Australian visa system – we lost by one vote in the Senate.”
“But we will continue to raise the issues and we will continue to advocate on behalf of Irish citizens.”
He also said the Irish Government would work with President Trump and his administration in the years ahead as had been done in the past.
