Kilkenny's Katelyn Cummins wins Dancing With The Stars
Kilkenny's own Katelyn Cummins, the reigning Rose of Tralee, has won Dancing With The Stars!
The winner was announced this evening (Sunday) following the live final on RTE 1.
On a night when Katelyn was given a standing ovation by the judges for both her dances with pro partner Leonardo Lini, and moved not only supporters but even the judges to tears, she was a popular winner of the competition.
For her first performance on the night, Katelyn reprised her Movie Week role of Snow White, as she and pro partner Leonardo Lini danced an American Smooth to ‘Whistle While You Work’ by Rachel Zegler.
They followed up with their special show dance, a freestyle performance that allowed them to combine different dance styles to showcase the creativity, skills and storytelling abilities they’ve learned throughout their journey.
Katelyn and Leonardo brought everyone to tears with their emotional performance to ‘Ordinary’ by Alex Warren.
As reigning Rose of Tralee Katelyn won't have too much time to relax, now the show is over, as she's off to the USA to represent the International Rose of Tralee Festival in New York for St Patrick's Day!
