It looks like there could be uncertainty regarding Doireann Garrihy’s future as host of RTÉ’s Dancing with the Stars.
On Wednesday, the radio host announced her shock departure from RTÉ 2FM, after five years.
And now, RTÉ have not confirmed whether the social media star will return to the popular TV series.
Doireann will present her final 2FM Breakfast with Doireann, Donncha and Carl on RTÉ 2FM on Friday, May 31st.
Explaining her decision, Doireann said:”After 5 years of 2FM Breakfast it’s time for ventures new.”
Now industry insiders are questioning whether the Dubliner will be back to co-host DWTS with Jennifer Zamperelli.
When asked whether Doireann would be continuing her co-host role on Dancing with the Stars, RTÉ told Goss.ie: “No decisions have been made regarding the next series of DWTS. Details about RTÉ’s Autumn and Winter schedules will be announced later this year.”
Since the news of Doireann’s departure broke, industry insiders have questioned who could replace her on the series if she decides not to return.
A well-placed TV source told Goss.ie: “DWTS is already a shoe-in for 2025. It was such a success in 2024 there’s no doubt it’s coming back.”
“Personally, I’m sorry to see her leave, but I respect Doireann’s decision. I wish her the very best for the future in everything she does,” he said.
“Doireann leaves 2FM in good shape and we look forward to building on the success of the breakfast show over the summer months and beyond.”
