DWTS finalist Danny O’Carroll has revealed his glamorous after show plans involving his TV legend dad.
The Mrs Brown’s Boys star and his dance partner Salome Chachua will take to the floor on Sunday night to compete for the coveted glitterball trophy.
But, as the highly-anticipated series finale is just around the corner, Danny is already making plans to hang up his dancing shoes.
The star already admitted that he came close to cracking during the gruelling months, while training away from his family and home in Co Donegal.
However, win or lose, Danny has a relaxing trip to Florida lined-up straight after the show wraps.
The actor told Evoke: “Your life just gets put on hold when you do the show. That’s the way it is. So I’ll take a couple of weeks off, and then in April we start filming a new series of Mrs Brown’s Boys over in Scotland.”
Danny’s TV legend dad, Brendan O’Carroll, is the man behind the trip as he owns a home in Florida where his kids can visit whenever they please.
The 41-year-old explained: “My dad organises a holiday every year for about 18 guys, and he flies us all over to play golf for ten days.
“The tournament is called the Crystal Mickey and everybody wants to go on it. It’s just the most amazing trip.’
Danny described the holiday as the “exact thing he needs after doing the show”.
“Because it’s not like a lads holiday where we all go into the pub; we really do play golf, but we all come back and we all sit around the house and everybody talks and tells everybody what’s going on
“You come back from that holiday feeling like you can take on the world, so it’s one that has that effect on people.”
Dad-of-two Danny said it was just as tough for his girlfriend, Tina Wats, and his two boys Jamie and Blake, missing him back at home, while he took part in the show.
He told The Irish Sun: “Just as much as I struggled being away from them, they also struggled, missing me back in Donegal, and they were pushing me so much to keep going.”
“My kids were saying, ‘If you leave Dancing With The Stars now, it will all be for nothing. You have done us proud and you’re doing it for us’.”
SUPER DAD
Danny had more family support from dad Brendan who surprised him during rehearsals last week, jetting in from his home in Florida last week, just at the moment he needed it most.
He said: “If dad was going to come over, that was the perfect moment as I really needed him because last week was a particularly down week for me.
“I was really stressed out and had a lot of personal things going on.
“So seeing my dad was so amazing because when you have my dad around, you know everything is going to be OK.”
