The new series of 'Dancing with the Stars' kicked off last Sunday with eleven famous Irish faces competing for the coveted Glitterball Trophy.

Among them are comedian Fred Cooke, 'Mrs Brown's Boys' star Eilish O'Carroll and country music singer Cliona Hagan, who stopped by The Telly Show here at entertainment.ie for a chat about how they were getting on in the show.

While Fred had his first performance last Sunday, Eilish and Cliona will be taking to the stage on 'Dancing with the Stars' for the first time with their partners this weekend.

Eilish revealed she will be doing the tango - Eilish style - while Cliona is doing the quick step.

The trio also chatted about the rigorous training needed for the show, the unavoidable nerves and Fred reveals his mother's gas response to him taking part in the show.
