Julian Benson will reportedly not appear on this week’s panel of judges on Dancing with the Stars and also canceled his appearance on The Late Late Show due to a mystery illness.
Judge Jules, known for his extravagant wardrobe style, has been rendered unable to go to work or appear on the two RTÉ shows this week.
The multi-talented Judge is one of the country’s top talent agents and has worked as a choreographer, producer and director.
He also had the honour of producing and staging the 60th birthday concert for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber with the RTE Concert Orchestra in the National Concert Hall, Dublin.

An insider told The Irish Sun that “Julian is too ill to appear on the Late Late tonight or on this Sunday’s Dancing With The Stars.”
“The other judges will appear with Ryan tonight and they’ll announce a stand-in.”
The fluent Irish speaker trained in the art of modern jazz, tap, ballet and latin dance western at the Australian Academy of Performing Arts and later in Paris.
“No one knows yet how long he’ll be gone from the show,” the insider added.
Another show insider said: “Everybody loves Julian so we are wishing him well.”
