Mrs. Brown’s Boys actor Danny O’Carroll has revealed he’s joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars 2025!
The eighth series returns to RTÉ One and RTÉ Player in January 2025.
Danny, who has lived in Donegal for 24 years, is currently on a nationwide tour of Ireland with Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Live Show.
Danny commented: “I’ve wanted to do Dancing with the Stars for the last four years, but I have always been touring the UK with Mrs. Brown’s Boys in January, so it just wasn’t possible. But this year, we’re touring in Ireland for the first time in over twelve years, and I can commute to get the rehearsals in so it’s working out really well. I’m delighted to finally be able to do it!”
Danny’s Mrs. Brown’s Boys castmates have a long-standing relationship with Dancing with the Stars. His castmate and aunt, Eilish O’Carroll took part in 2019, while Rory Cowan competed for the coveted glitterball earlier this year.
On the encouragement from Mrs. Brown’s Boys cast members: “I’m really taken aback at how much everybody has been behind me. My aunt Eilish is begging me to go as far as I can for her. I want to do the best I can. I’m not a dancer, so I’m well out of my comfort zone, but I’m going to try to do whatever I can to get to the final…I’m going to give it socks!”
Danny is the second celebrity to be announced following yesterday’s reveal of Irish model and former Miss Universe Ireland, Aishah Akorede as the first celebrity taking to the dancefloor in January.
