Dancing with the Stars Ireland: Crowley’s Jive Exit, Dundon’s Donkey Dance, and a Pop-Culture-Packed Movie Week

In an emotional exit from this season’s Dancing with the Stars, Ireland AM presenter Elaine Crowley waved her final farewell on Sunday night, disappointment etched on her face. After a “shaky day,” as she put it beneath a voluminous beehive hairdo, Crowley and partner Denys Samson finished their Hairspray-inspired jive, but it was not enough to secure her spot for Dedications Week.

Meanwhile, the dance floor’s luck of the draw saw another miracle for celebrity chef Kevin Dundon, who despite his disaster of a Shrek-themed jive, managed to stink up the stage rather than his dance card. Dressed as Donkey (rather than the titular character), Dundon’s disastrous performance earned him just eight out of 30, marking him as this season’s seemingly untouchable underdog. "More donkey than Shrek," judge Brian Redmond lamented. Yet, audiences ate it up, once again proving main courseUndon’s baffling popularity.

Movie Week kicked off with somber news of judge Loraine Barry’s absence due to her mother’s passing, while MC Doireann Garrihy couldn’t resist a plug for her new 2FM gig, earning a chuckle from co-host Jennifer Zamparelli.

One triumphant dance, however, shone brighter than any movie montage. Fresh from his Olympic gold glory, Rhys McClenaghan doned a glitterball-spangled Spider-Man costume and spun a dazzling Charleston with Laura Nolan. Lifts, twirls, and an unforgettable floor sweep secured Rhys a near-perfect score, with two flawless 10s and a single nine.

With such high drama, Movie Week was a cinematic masterclass, but alas, the closing credits rolled for Elaine Crowley. And in a twist more shocking than any Hollywood script, Kevin Dundon survives another week.
