Laois Rose of Tralee and professional dancer Leonardo Lini have once again wowed the judges on this week's Dancing with the Stars!

Now in its ninth week, our Portlaoise Rose Katelyn Cummins closed the show with a Salsa to the traditional Latin number “Ran Kan Kan” by Tito Puente.

The pair scored a fantastic 35 points, and earned their spot in next week's semi-final.

In addition to their individual performances tonight, all six couples competed in the first ever ‘Orchestra-thon’, a dance marathon that had everyone on the floor simultaneously dancing to Chuck Berry’s ‘Roll Over Beethoven’.

For the first time ever, the marathon had six couples taking part, one more than its usual five, meaning even higher judges’ scores were available to the celebs. 

Paudie Moloney was the first to leave the dancefloor with one point, Tolü Makay was out next with two, the judges awarded Katelyn Cummins three, Philip Doyle picked up an extra four, Jordan Dargan scored five and Eric Roberts and his partner Arianna Favaro were last two standing, earning an additional six points on the scoreboard.

Along with her fantastic dancing skills, Katelyn is relying on votes from the public to make it through to the final.

The semi-final will be a 'Decades' special.
