It's only matter of days now until Ireland's first ever 'Dancing with the Stars' show kicks off, with 11 famous faces taking to the dance floor alongside a professional partner to take on everything from the tango and quickstep to the cha cha and rumba.

They will be scored by an expert panel of judges and the viewing public at home. All the contestants will be safe for the first two shows, but after that one celeb and their dancing partner will leave the competition each week.

Each pairing will have a different dancing genre and they’ll have just seven days to perfect their routine before performing live to the nation.

So who are the celebrities and how do you know them?

Take a look below;

'Dancing with the Stars' kicks off on RTÉ One for 12 weeks from 6.30pm Sunday, 8th January.
