It has been revealed that Kayleigh Trappe is set to host a new radio show after making it to the final of Dancing With The Stars 2025.
The 29-year-old is dipping her hand into the world of sports presenting as it has been confirmed that she will be the host of a new show on talkSPORT Ireland.
Kayleigh will host MNÁsplaining, which will focus on big female names in Irish sport and explore their stories.
The media personality was formerly a primary school teacher before resigning after making a name for herself on TikTok.
Kayleigh has now signed on with the sport radio station as it’s making a launch in Ireland.
Taking to Instagram to share the news, she wrote: “I’ve got some news… Here we go! Absolutely buzzing to be your host and get all the good stuff.”
“From its state-of-the-art studios in Dublin, talkSPORT Ireland will debut with MNÁsplaining, an exclusive new show hosted by social media sensation Kayleigh Trappe,” wrote talkSPORT in a statement.
“With over half a million followers across her platforms, Kayleigh brings her sharp wit, infectious humour, and passion for sport to the forefront. The show will spotlight Ireland’s most high-profile female athletes, giving them a platform to share their untold stories in an entertaining and light-hearted format.”
She made it all the way to the Dancing With The Stars final with her dance partner Ervinas Merfeldas – however, the competition did come with its challenges.
Speaking with Goss.ie about the most challenging part of the show, Kayleigh said: “The most challenging part of the experience, I think, it’s probably a cheesy one but for me and my partner would agree, like, Ervinas is my dance partner, letting go.”
“I’ve made a career out of playing characters and putting on wings and never really being myself and I remember specifically week five for contemporary, I had to let go and I couldn’t.”
“I really couldn’t just be myself and because I find it’s weird when I’m playing a character, I am as confident as ever because I know I’m not being myself. When I’m told to be myself, my confidence just goes and that comes back from, you know, a history of a lot of body confidence issues,” Kayleigh candidly confessed.
“So it really showed in this competition but it was bittersweet because it always difficult to get past those times. Even now today we’re doing our routine and Ervinas is just constantly saying how proud he is of how much I’m freer and letting go and not as hesitant with things.”
“So it was, although it was the most difficult part of the whole journey, it ended up being the best part as well because I’m going to leave the show now with a lot more confidence and I’m going to back myself a lot more because that’s something I would have not done in the past.”
