Eric delivers his greatest show yet on Dancing with the Stars

Donegal presenter Eric Roberts put on the ‘greatest show’ yet to secure another week on RTE’s Dancing with the Stars.

The Downings man’s poise and posture were spot on for a ferocious Paso Doble to “The Greatest Show” by Panic! At the Disco.

Eric and his pro dance partner Arianna Favaro earned a superb score of 46 tonight and avoided yet another dance-off.

Sunday night marked the 100th episode of the show, with Nicky Byrne returning to the ballroom for one night only. Swapping hosting duties for a seat at the judges’ desk, the Westlife star offered some of the most special praise Eric has received so far.

Reflecting on balancing work, the competition, and family life while raising his baby son Rían, Nicky shared a heartfelt message with the Donegal man.

“He (Ran) might be too young to appreciate what you did tonight,” he said, “but years from now you will be playing that dance back to him on YouTube, and you should be so proud.”

Nicky awarded Eric a perfect 10, with the remaining judges all scoring him a 9.

Eric admitted he has received mixed feedback throughout the competition and said he had been striving for a unanimous “great job, Eric” moment. Tonight, he delivered in spades.

Judges described the performance as slick and on point, with Arthur Gourounlian praising Eric for being powerful, commanding, and in full control.

Among those cheering Eric on from the audience was Lifford singer Mickey Joe Harte, who appeared on the 2025 edition of the show.

Fair City star Stephanie Kelly became the sixth celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars this evening.

The diamond-encrusted world of Beverly Hills is reeling today as the long-standing friendship between Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley lies in absolute tatters. In what is being described as a “scorched earth” campaign, Richards has allegedly pulled back the curtain on the real reason behind their bitter fallout, exposing a staggering $2 million secret that has left fans and socialites breathless.

While the cameras have captured tension between the two for months, the true catalyst remained a mystery—until now. Reports suggest that Richards has finally reached her breaking point, allegedly revealing that Kemsley has been hiding a massive $2 million gambling debt.

Sources close to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star claim that the financial strain wasn’t just a private matter; it had begun to bleed into their social circle. Richards, who has often been seen as Kemsley’s fiercest protector, reportedly feels “used and manipulated” after discovering the extent of the financial web.

The term being whispered through the hills is “financial parasite.” Insiders allege that Richards felt she was being leaned on not just for emotional support, but as a buffer for a lifestyle that Kemsley could no longer afford to maintain.

“Kyle feels like the wool was pulled over her eyes for years,” a source shared. “She isn’t just hurt; she’s livid. She’s officially cut Dorit off, both socially and financially, and she wants the world to know why.”

The fallout marks the end of an era for the Bravo franchise. What started as subtle jabs at reunions has evolved into a full-scale public war. By “going scorched earth,” Richards has signaled that there is no path to reconciliation.

The alleged revelations include:

Unpaid markers at high-stakes tables in Las Vegas and abroad.

Multiple attempts to bridge the $2 million gap through private loans.

A pattern of “financial gaslighting” that led Richards to question the authenticity of their entire bond.

As the news ripples through the community, the Kemsley camp has remained uncharacteristically quiet. Meanwhile, the public is left wondering if this “unforgivable betrayal” will be the central focus of the upcoming season, or if the legal and financial implications will keep the drama strictly in the courtroom.

For Kyle Richards, the message is clear: the bank is closed, the friendship is over, and the truth is finally out.
