Back on the couch today debating The Battle of The Sexes!
I just wanted to thank everyone for their support over the past few weeks. I have had a ball, an absolute ball. My Dancing With The Stars journey may have been short, but it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I really didn’t want to be the first to leave, in fact I didn’t want to leave at all…….. but someone had to. I have made some really good friends on the show with a great bunch of people and I wish them all the best on their DWTS journey’s. Ryan McShane, you are a wonderful man and I’m so going to miss you. Right now I’m looking forward to a nice lie in before shooting starts on All Round To Mrs Brown’s next month.
Oh my word that was amazing – I still can’t believe this is happening. Well done to all the ladies tonight #girlpower!

O.M.G, I believe the term is! I cannot begin to tell you how excited and utterly delighted I am to be doing Dancing With The Stars.

I hope you’ll all tune in to see me trip the light fantastic, I honestly can’t wait.
I’m so happy to add my voice to this campaign, those of you who know me will appreciate that technology and myself are not usually a good mix, but even I can get my head around this! It really is a solution to much needed support for people who may for many years have felt isolated and without a voice.
I am so happy to announce that I will be bringing my show to Limerick in September!
