Despite being bottom of the judges’ leaderboard last week, The Traitors Ireland star Paudie Moloney and his partner Laura Nolan dance into Orchestra Night with a Viennese Waltz to John Denver’s Annie’s Song – a special track for Paudie, as it is a personal favourite for him and his wife Bernadette.

In addition to their individual performances, all six couples will compete in the first-ever ‘Orchestra-thon’, a dance marathon that will have everyone on the floor simultaneously dancing to Chuck Berry’s Roll Over Beethoven.
The ‘Orchestra-thon’ promises to be a thrilling highlight of the night, testing the couples’ endurance, creativity, and showmanship. With extra judges’ scores up for grabs, everything is to play for on Sunday.
