Mammy's favourite Daniel O'Donnell finally got his dance partner for Strictly last night, with Donegal's own paired with Kristina Rihanoff.
O'Donnell took part in the group dance event with Lenny Henry, Peter Andre and the rest of the celebs dancing off for the opening show. As for the sparkles and sequin outfits, O'Donnell says "it's only the beginning." That sounded like a threat, in fairness.
Here's the opening dance routine, anyway.
And sure enough, Irish Twitter was out in force behind 'oul Daniel.
This #strictly thing is fierce boring … I just want to see #DanielODonnell

Mum has very wisely cited Daniel O'Donnell's appearance on strictly as the explanation behind the low attendance at mass this evening

Lovely, lovely Daniel. Fair play to him, in fairness. O'Donnell's confident Kristina Rihanoff can get him to the final, however early predictions have it that Peter Andre will take home the trophy with Iwan Thomas a close second.
