Comedian Kevin McGahern is the final celebrity to join Dancing with the Stars which returns to RTÉ One in January.
He joined presenters Greg O'Shea and Gráinne Seoige on The Six O’Clock Show on Virgin Media this evening to tell them how he’s been getting on in rehearsals.
McGahern is a comedian, writer, actor and television presenter from Cavan. After several years of doing stand-up, his career extended into television presenting fronting programmes such as Republic of Telly and Clear History.
In 2017, McGahern hosted his own documentary series Kevin McGahern's America in which he explored various aspects of life in America: gun rights, intimacy in the digital age, and whether you really can choose your family.
McGahern said:"I'm delighted to be a part of this year's Dancing with the Stars. It's a very different world to what I'm used to. I'm a little scared but looking forward to giving it my best."
He has also had acting roles in many Irish comedy series, including Bridget & Eamon, The Doireann Project, Nowhere Fast and Finding Joy. He had a recurring role as Michael Foley in the RTÉ drama series Smother.
McGahern will take to the dancefloor alongside Panti Bliss, Suzanne Jackson, Paul Brogan, Brooke Scullion, Dr Marie Cassidy, Shane Byrne, Damian McGinty, Stephanie Roche, Carl Mullan and Leah O’ Rourke in season six of Dancing with the Stars which returns to RTÉ One in January.
