Ohhh! Voice of Ireland to be AXED for IRISH Dancing with the Stars

When RTE announced yesterday that Ireland will be getting its own version of Dancing with the Stars, people quickly began to speculate that The Voice of Ireland could be getting the chop.

And unfortunately for lovers of the popular talent show, that indeed seems to be the case.

According to The Irish Mirror, The Voice of Ireland will be scrapped after five seasons to make way for the world famous dancing competition.

Channel Controller for RTE One and RTE2 Adrian Lynch said: “After five hugely successful seasons of The Voice of Ireland now is a perfect time to refresh the Sunday evening entertainment slot with one of the world’s best-loved formats.”

“We want to thank everyone involved in The Voice of Ireland for their incredible hard work over the past five years in the making the show such a success.”

The Irish version of Dancing with the Stars will document 11 celebrities as they learn to move like professional ballroom dancers and will air on RTE in early 2017.
