As anticipation grows for the return of Strictly Come Dancing later this year, Tipperary’s Rachael Blackmore is being widely tipped as a potential contestant on the upcoming series.
Blackmore, one of the most accomplished and respected jockeys in the history of horse racing, recently announced her retirement from the sport.
The news has sparked curiosity about what lies ahead for the trailblazing Killenaule native, and many are hopeful that her next chapter could take her from the racecourse to the dancefloor.
Renowned for her determination, poise under pressure, and charisma, Blackmore is seen as a perfect fit for the glamour and challenge of the popular BBC show.
Her sporting achievements have already made her a household name, and fans across the country, particularly in her native Tipperary, would be thrilled to see her bring that same passion to the Strictly stage.
