Leah O’Rourke is the tenth celebrity announced for series six of Dancing with the Stars, which returns to RTÉ One in January.
Speaking this morning, the Derry Girls star said:
“I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the show. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. If I'm brave enough to showcase terrible singing on Derry Girls, I'm hoping I'll be brave enough to showcase my attempts at dancing. I'm looking forward to taking on a new challenge, shaking off the school plait and showing a more glam side to me.”
From Newry in County Down, Leah played Derry Girl Jenny Joyce, the goody-two-shoes prefect who never strays from the rules. Jenny Joyce famously performed ‘Stay’ by Shakespeare’s Sister at the school talent show.
