Tommy Tiernan takes a pop at Des Bishop

The Navan native makes a joke about the comedian taking part in Dancing With The Stars

Tommy Tiernan has taken a pop at Des Bishop for taking part in RTE’s Dancing With The Stars.

Des is one of the eleven famous faces twirling their way to the top in the new Irish dance competition show.

“Me watching Des on Dancing with the Stars would be like watching a friend of yours have a nervous breakdown,” he said.

The Navan native joked that Des signing up for the show was “an awful day for Irish comedy” – but he was also quick to praise his fellow comedian.

“[He’s one of the] best stand up in Ireland,” Tommy told the Star.

Des was announced on The Late Late Show as the first contestant to take part earlier this month and admitted that he’s very excited.

“It’s great, it’s a super popular show. I wasn’t a big watcher of the show but when I was asked to do it, I would happen to be in Ireland,” he said.

Dancing With The Stars airs on RTE 1 on January 8th.
