Donegal presenter Eric Roberts put on the \u2018greatest show\u2019 yet to secure another week on RTE\u2019s Dancing with the Stars. <\/p>\n
The Downings man\u2019s poise and posture were spot on for a ferocious Paso Doble to \u201cThe Greatest Show\u201d by Panic! At the Disco.<\/p>\n
Eric and his pro dance partner Arianna Favaro earned a superb score of 46 tonight and avoided yet another dance-off.<\/p>\n
Sunday night marked the 100th episode of the show, with Nicky Byrne returning to the ballroom for one night only. Swapping hosting duties for a seat at the judges\u2019 desk, the Westlife star offered some of the most special praise Eric has received so far.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on balancing work, the competition, and family life while raising his baby son R\u00edan, Nicky shared a heartfelt message with the Donegal man.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (Ran) might be too young to appreciate what you did tonight,\u201d he said, \u201cbut years from now you will be playing that dance back to him on YouTube, and you should be so proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicky awarded Eric a perfect 10, with the remaining judges all scoring him a 9.<\/p>\n
Eric admitted he has received mixed feedback throughout the competition and said he had been striving for a unanimous \u201cgreat job, Eric\u201d moment. Tonight, he delivered in spades.<\/p>\n
Judges described the performance as slick and on point, with Arthur Gourounlian praising Eric for being powerful, commanding, and in full control.<\/p>\n
Among those cheering Eric on from the audience was Lifford singer Mickey Joe Harte, who appeared on the 2025 edition of the show.<\/p>\n
Fair City\u00a0star\u00a0Stephanie Kelly became the sixth celebrity to be eliminated from\u00a0Dancing with the Stars\u00a0this evening.<\/p>\n
