Thalia Heffernan has opened up about her time on last year’s Dancing With The Star,  and about her romance with pro dancer Ryan McShane.

The new line up for the show, which will air in early January, was announced over the weekend.

Thalia was the second celebrity to be eliminated from last year’s show, and she’s now admitted that she let nerves get the better of her.

“I let the nerves get the best of me. I was terrified. But looking back on it now, it is such a scary experience but it’s also such an amazing experience,” she told Evoke.

“My advice is to enjoy every moment of it because there is nothing on this planet like that show,” she continued.

“I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I could. Obviously I’m still with Ryan as well!”

The model gushed about her boyfriend Ryan McShane, who she met on the show.

The 22-year-old said she was delighted that he’ll be spending more time in Ireland, and that she will probably end up in the audience for a show or two.

“He’s back for the new season so I still have that relative connection. I’ll probably end up at some of the shows. And it’s great to have him back.”

“I’m very excited for all the celebrities, I think it’s such an amazing thing to do,” she continued.

“I’d love to do it again. Ryan says everyone is really lovely.”
