Emma O'Driscoll and Michael Carruth are among the six contestants on RTÉ's charity TV show 'Celebrity Jigs 'n' Reels'. In 1992, Michael Carruth sent Ireland into a frenzy when he won gold medal for boxing at the Barcelona Olympics. It was Ireland's first Olympic gold medallist in 36 years. Singing, presenting and jigging, there's no stopping Emma O'Driscoll. Presenting Den Tots with Soky by day, she's teamed up with Irish dancer Mick Donegan for her high kicking jibs and reels on Sunday evenings.
