Dancing With the Stars Ireland: Ex rugby star Shane Byrne brings ... (Independent.ie)

Former Ireland rugby star Shane Byrne brought the concept of “dad dancing” to a whole new level on RTÉ's Dancing With the Stars tonight.

“What a way to open the show,” she said. “I was expecting it to be hard but I wasn’t expecting it to be this hard,” she said. “I find the tango face quite tricky, maybe I should get Botox,” she joked.

Dancing with the Stars week 2: Shane Byrne's brain-melting flips ... (The Irish Times)

Television: Host Jennifer Zamparelli isn't the only one lost for words at the former Ireland rugby international's routine.

Rehearsing with Nolan earlier in the week, he lets go of her at the wrong moment and watches her faceplant. It culminates with what Karen Byrne describes as a mulletwheel – it’s a cartwheel that will have sensitive viewers questioning the existence of God, and for which the duo score 12. “When you’re on your own you are a little bit lost,” she says. “Don’t be lost: take it as your moment to shine!” She isn’t the only one lost for words in an episode full of highs and lows – and that’s just the former Ireland rugby international flipping head over heels like a Lovecraftian wagon wheel at the end of his routine with Karen Byrne. The competition has kicked off in earnest, and already front-runners are emerging.

Shane Byrne Leaves DWTS Judges Speechless (EVOKE)

If there is one thing you can bet on when it comes to Dancing with the Stars is that you will always be surprised, and this week Shane Byrne certainly.

And well when it came to Brian he didn't hold back. This week with his partner Karen he performed the cha cha and as many of us know out there this involves a lot of movement when it comes to the hips. The lads took on Latin while the girls battled some ballroom moves.
