that's a wrap
And the winner of Dancing With The Stars is...
… Rhys McClenaghan!
LAST UPDATE | 16 Mar 2025
OLYMPIC GYMNAST RHYS McClenaghan and his professional partner Laura Nolan have won this season’s Dancing With The Stars on RTÉ.
McClenaghan was up against three other finalists for the coveted Glitterball trophy: Mrs. Brown’s Boys actor Danny O’Carroll, social media personality Kayleigh Trappe and Taekwondo athlete Jack Woolley.
Each couple performed two dances: a routine from a previous week and a fresh routine.
McClenaghan reprised his Movie Week role of Spider-Man, as he and his professional partner Laura Nolan danced the Charleston to the theme tune.
While waiting for the public vote to come in, each couple performed their Showdance – a freestyle performance that allows them to combine different dance styles and showcase the creativity and skills they developed throughout their Dancing With the Stars journey.
McClenaghan and Nolan performed to Beautiful Things by Benson Boone.
Just before the winner was announced, all seven eliminated celebrities – Mickey Joe Harte, Elaine Crowley, Joanna Donnelly, Yasmin Seky, Gearóid Farrelly, Kevin Dundon and Aishah Akorede and their pro partners – returned to the dancefloor to Kylie Minogue’s Wow.
