Doireann said of her new role: “I am ecstatic to be joining the Dancing with the Stars family – the glitziest gang in town!”
“This is a dream come true for me. I cannot wait to get going with the team. I never thought I’d say this but roll on the month of January!”
The broadcaster has previously presented Big Night In, The Podge and Rodge Show and Reeling in the Fears.
Her comedy show The Doireann Project aired on RTÉ Player and RTÉ2.

Alongside her podcast, Doireann currently presents 2FM Breakfast on weekday mornings, alongside Donncha O’Callaghan and Carl Mullan.
Nicky announced his shock departure from Dancing With The Stars back in August.
In a post shared on Instagram at the time, the Westlife star wrote: “A little news from me. Sadly I will be stepping away from hosting Dancing with the Stars on RTÉ.”
“Westlife are now ten shows into our Wild Dreams tour. We had two phenomenal nights at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium followed by a mind blowing show at Wembley Stadium and two absolutely sensational nights at Cork’s Páirc Uí Chaoimh.”

“This tour continues now taking us around the world including five continents with 60 plus shows up until Summer 2023,” Nicky continued.
“So with all this in mind, I have had to make some tough decisions. One of them is my future hosting ‘Dancing with the Stars’ on RTÉ – a show I have loved hosting from the very beginning.”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this show, full of glitz n’ glamour and of course, being a part of everyone’s Sunday night Winter TV viewing. It’s been a brilliant five seasons since we launched in 2017, working with the best crew in the world.”
“I have smiled and laughed my way through those 59 shows to date and what a journey it’s been. I take away the greatest memories,” Nicky wrote.
“Thank you Amanda and Jennifer and of course Lottie for stepping in. Thank you RTÉ. Thank you to the amazing team in ShinAwil. Thank you to Loraine, Brian, Arthur and Julian and all of the professional dancers. Thank you to the crew of hundreds who made all of those shows special.”
Nicky concluded his post by writing: “I wish whoever takes over from me the absolute best. Just don’t fall down that stairs at the start of the show!! You’ll have an absolute blast.”
Goss.ie recently revealed the long list of Irish stars tipped to appear on the upcoming series of Dancing With The Stars, which will air in January 2023.
