Jockey Davy Russell will perform with professional dancer Laura Nolan on tonight's Dancing with the Stars on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player because Russell's regular professional dance partner Kylee Vincent is ill this weekend.

The news means that Laura Nolan will dance twice on tonight's show, as she is also partnered with Fair City star Shane Quigley Murphy.

Kylee Vincent and Davy Russell made their DWTS debut as a duo on the opening show of the new series last weekend

"Shane and Laura will dance a Waltz in tonight's show to At This Moment by Michael Bublé," said Dancing with the Stars.

"Davy and Laura will dance a Quickstep to Giddy Up by Shania Twain.

"Kylee will hopefully return to the programme as soon as she has fully recovered."
