Mickey Joe Harte is to join the line up for the new season of Dancing with the Stars.
The singer-songwriter who burst onto the scene as the first-ever winner of You're a Star over two decades ago, going on to represent Ireland at the 2003 Eurovision song contest, finishing in 11th place in the final.
His Euro Song entry was 'We've Got The World Tonight'. Check that out below.
"I just thought the time felt right. Honestly, even a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have been as open to it", Harte said. "But I think with Eurovision last year and Bambie Thug doing so well, it felt like there's a nice buzz out there. I think it's just the right time and I'm not getting any younger!".
On performing without using his guitar, Mickey Joe-Harte also added: "I don't have the crutch anymore, the guitar or the microphone".
"I tend to talk when I'm doing gigs and get the crowd going. You just have to go out there, do your thing, dance, and make sure that you're on it. There's no warming yourself into the gig, you're straight on!".
Harte is the latest celebrity announced for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, including Irish taekwondo Olympian Jack Woolley, along with comedian Gearóid Farrelly, Mrs Brown's Boys star Danny O'Carroll, along with former Miss Universe Ireland Aishah Akorede.
