Denise McCormack has opened up about how the contestants are feeling about the upcoming first elimination.
The actress said, “It will be awful – and to think we have to go through that every week.”
“We’ve been each other’s fans, we’ve been each other’s support network. I’m very conscious that everyone is putting themselves through the grinder. We’re constantly checking in with each other, ‘Are you alright? How are you feeling?'”

The Dubliner continued to tell RTÉ Entertainment, “We’re not in our comfort zone, we’re not doing what we’re trained to do in life. It’s a really frightening thing to do.”
Denise recalls her time watching Strictly Come Dancing, “I remember watching it and all the contestants, they become like a close-knit group and their emotions are very high.
“I remember thinking that’s over-the-top. But now that I’m in it, the emotion has been the most shocking thing for me.
“I remember going out last week, I actually feel a bit emotional talking about it, and my family was in the audience. I was choked up when I stood on those steps.”
