It's Aoibhin Garrihy and Denise McCormack. Aoibhin stars as Neasa in Fair City whilst audiences will remember Denise as Fran's wife, Linda, from Love / Hate. Aoibhin said that she is "so delighted to be involved in the very first Irish Dancing with the Stars and all its glittering glory. As an actor, the opportunity to learn a completely new art form in a very short space of time is both an exciting and nerve-racking concept."
Denise, meanwhile, said that it's "such a privilege as I have always loved dancing, I did a bit as a kid but to learn it professionally is a whole new challenge."
The show kicks off at 6.30PM on RTE One from January 8th.
