Fair City's Shane Quigley Murphy has been revealed as the seventh celebrity taking to the dancefloor for the new series of Dancing with the Stars on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player.
Best-known for his role as Carrigstown's Gareth Boyle, the actor said he is "absolutely delighted" to be putting on his dancing shoes.
"It's such an honour to be part of such an incredible production and the entire team have been so brilliant and welcoming, preparing me for what's to come," he continued.
"The spray tan caught me by surprise, but hey, I'll try anything once!
"I'm not quite sure what to expect, but that's why I love it. I love a challenge, and this is definitely a challenge for me.
"The last time I danced was at my brother's wedding and, honestly, that wasn't a pretty sight!"
Shane Quigley Murphy's other credits include the series Outlander, Foundation, Kin, and Vikings: Valhalla and stage productions from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to Shakespeare's Rose Theatre.
He joins 2FM and Ireland's Fittest Family presenter Laura Fox, former Miss World Rosanna Davison, newscaster Eileen Dunne, Wild Youth singer David Whelan, drag queen star Blu Hydrangea, and TikTok favourite Miriam Mullins in the Dancing with the Stars line-up announced so far.
More contestants will be announced in the coming days.
The series will return to RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player in January.
