"This song is just so right for you. and look what you've brought us." "It's been a joy to watch you," Arthur said, tearing up. "You've been our ballroom belle throughout this season," judge Brian said. Crystal clear, the whole way through." "To Emily Barker... "I am running out of words to compliment you," Arthur said following the dance, "you're a born performer." For the cherry on top of the cake, head judge Loraine Barry said it was her “favourite performance of this season”. You deserve this." Judge Brian, meanwhile, said it can be difficult to “find the words” to acknowledge the merit of a performance like the one she had just given. On this occasion, the most important of all, she "nailed" it he said - which was echoed by the judges scores, a perfect 30. Judge Arthur Gourounlian said his performance showed how much the Dubliner “deserved” to be in the final of the competition.

DANCING With The Stars finalists Carl Mullan and Damien McGinty have formed a special friendship during their 'emotional' journey on the popular RTE 2 show ...

She actually had them framed and it's a really beautiful momento of him taking part in Dancing with the Stars which was really great." The first anniversary is always the hardest but this has kind of given us all a lift and knowing how much Carl loved his nana and how much she loved him it's just been great. She's a lovely young woman as well and has become part of the family now as well. "Strangely, the show began on January 8th and that was her birthday. I think he and Damien have become really good friends and they will probably remain good friends which I love because of the Leenan Gardens connection." So the show brought a lot of happiness to all our lives especially when we could see how happy Carl's nana was for the two hours of the show. Carl was a mascot for the club and proudly got his photograph taken with City skipper Peter Hutton ahead of the 1997 FAI Cup Final in Dalymount as a seven year-old. A few years later her grandson would be appearing on the final of the show. She was a huge fan of the dance show which began this year on her birthday and concludes on the weekend of her anniversary. She won't be far from the thoughts of Carl on the night, explains his father. When you're born in Derry there's nowhere in the world like it." "To think you have Brooke and Damien from Derry but more amazing is that Damien's grandmother and I would've been neighbours in Leenan Gardens.

It’s a heart-warming story and viewers will be glad to see a rank outsider receive the Glitterball trophy. But he has improved steadily across the 11 weeks and his two dances in the final receive lavish praise from the judges – and a combined score of 59 out of a possible 60. Amid tears, cheers and swirls of confetti, a visibly stunned Carl Mullan has been crowned winner of Dancing with the Stars 2023 (RTÉ One, 6.30pm). Mullan, after all, has consistently placed behind front-runners Scullion, Jackson and McGinty.
