Hughie Maughan has revealed why he was so tanned on Dancing With The Stars.
The second show aired last night on RTE 1 which showed off the ladies skill on the dance floor – but it was the Big Brother star who stole the limelight
“I’m being accused for black face,” he said about certain tweets that were sent out.

Hughie explained that he was given a foundation that was normally used on dark skin to hide his patchy tan.
“I did my own tan last night, the show didn’t do it – not that anybody was stopping me,” he told 2FM’s Breakfast Republic.
“It just ended up looking like dirt and I tried to wipe it – I ended up looking like a Dalmatian, I was all patchy.
“What happened was that I was covered up with a dark foundation that is for African people.”

The reality star revealed that it was singer Jamelia’s make-up that was used on him to hide his dodgy tan.
“It was actually Jamelia’s foundation because she was on the Voice Of Ireland and the same make-up artist works on this show.
“In order to cover up the patchiness of where the tan was coming off, they had to cake it on.
We had about a minute to go to air and I thought ‘I just have to go on like this’ like I had Nutella all over my face,” he added.
