The Irish Strictly Come Dancing has been AXED due to no money

RTÉ have cancelled their plans to run an Irish Strictly Come Dancing due to lack of funds to support the show.

As we all know the BBC's Strictly is one of the most popular shows on TV in the past few years, but RTÉ doesn't have the budget to make it as good as its counterpart.

According to the Irish Sun: “Strictly is an award-winning international format with electric dance routines,” said an insider.

“It’s not a show you can cut back on costs.”

BBC bosses were concerned that another version of Strictly so close to the English version wouldn't work as it would be difficult to find celebrities in Ireland that can dance.

“It’s not just the production values, it’s finding celebrities who can dance in Ireland. The UK is so big, it’s no prolem there, but you’d struggle to find enough well-known faces who can dance in Ireland.”

Well, we were excited there for a moment, but we guess we can't have everything!
