This week's Dancing with the Stars will see presenters Jennifer Zamparelli and Doireann Garrihy take to the dancefloor for the show's annual team dance week.
Each presenter will captain a team of celebrities and their professional partners, with the team dance to be scored by the judges, Loraine Barry, Brian Redmond and Arthur Gourounlian.
Their team score will be added to each contestant's overall individual score.
The first team, the Party Animals, will be made up of Wild Youth star David Whelan and his partner Salome Chachua, Paralympian Jason Smyth and his partner Karen Byrne and TV and radio presenter Laura Fox and her partner Denys Samson. They will be joined by team captain Jennifer Zamparelli and her pro partner for the night, Robert Rowinski.
They will dance to A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) by Fergie, Q-Tip & GoonRock.
Speaking on her upcoming performance, Zamparelli said, "This week is going to be a week to remember! I haven’t slept a wink; I’m absolutely terrified about falling on my backside and I really don’t want to let the team down!"
She continued, "It’s a lot of pressure but it’s an opportunity not to be missed - I mean, to put ourselves in the dancers’ shoes for two minutes? It’s going to be a lot of fun and I’ll be knocking up to Brian Redmond to make sure he hasn’t forgotten how to use that 10 paddle."
The second team will consist of drag artist Blu Hydrangea and their partner Simone Arena, former jockey Davy Russell and his partner Kylee Vincent and TV presenter Katja Mia and her partner Ervinas Merfeldas.
They will be known as the Dancing Divas and will be captained by Doireann Garrihy alongside her pro dancer partner, Montel Hewson.
They will dance to Electric Energy by Ariana DeBose, Boy George & Nile Rogers.
Garrihy shared her feelings on her competitive dance debut saying, "I am equal parts terrified and absolutely buzzing. If Arthur isn’t screaming something about crumpets, I’ll have failed miserably. I’m ready to give it socks. Roll on Sunday - bring it on Jen!"
Before that, all six couples will still dance individual dances as normal. Off the back of earning the first perfect score of the season, Blu and Simone will dance quickstep to Beyoncé’s current number one single, Texas Hold ‘Em.
Following their win in last week’s dance off, Katja and Ervinas will dance salsa to Mandinda's tropical version of Dua Lipa’s, Levitating.
Other routines on the night will include Jason and Karen dancing jive to Runaway by OneRepublic, and Laura and Denys performing a Charleston to Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx.
Davy and Kylee will perform a cha-cha-cha to the Michael Bublé and Jason DeRulo hit, Spicy Margarita and David and Salome will dance a paso doble to the Led Zeppelin classic, Whole Lotta Love.
Dancing with the Stars continues on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Sunday 3 March at 6.30pm.
