2FM Breakfast host Carl Mullan is the ninth celebrity announced for series six of Dancing with the Stars, which returns to RTÉ One in January.
Speaking about joining the show, the broadcaster said he is "absolutely buzzing".
He said: "The only thing doing somersaults right now is my stomach - I’m a combination of a bag of nerves but also absolutely buzzing! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I can’t wait to get going.
"It’s completely outside my comfort zone, I’ve never done any form of dancing before, but I’m determined to get my head down and do everything possible to make sure my partner and I get all the way to the final!"
As @RTE2fm Breakfast host, Carl Mullan is used to early mornings.. In the New Year, however, he'll be adding a dose of dance to his daily routine.
