Dancing with the Stars

Series 9

Episode 3: Movie Week

Sunday 18 January at 6:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

It’s Movie Week and the remaining eleven couples dance to routines inspired by well-known movies. For one couple, it will be the end of the road as this episode will culminate in another elimination.

Filling our Sunday evenings with glitz and glamour from January, the RTÉ series will see 12 well-known figures team up with a professional dancer to perform a live routine every week. Each pairing will have a different dancing genre to master every week, from the Charleston to Salsa, and they’ll have just seven days to perfect their routine before performing live to the nation.  

Dancing with the Stars is hosted by Jennifer Zamparelli and Laura Fox. Each celebrity couple will be scored by an expert panel of four judges: new Head Judge Oti Mabuse, Brian Redmond, Arthur Gourounlian and Karen Byrne, and as well as the viewing public at home, with the winning couple claiming the much-coveted glitterball trophy at the end of the series.  

Social reporter James Patrice is back for the new season with his access-all-areas backstage pass to bring fans all the latest news and updates from the training room and the dancefloor on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter. 

Watch Movie Week on Dancing with the Stars on Sunday 11 January 2026 at 6:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
