Niamh Kavanagh and Stephen Vincent
Niamh Kavanagh and her professional partner Stephen Vincent performed a Foxtrot to Elton John’s Daniel, a song with special meaning as it was dedicated to the memory of Niamh’s nephew, Daniel.
Karen Byrne praised the performance as “absolutely gorgeous,” highlighting the emotion, Niamh’s frame, and footwork. “That was your best dance yet,” she said.
Oti Mabuse said it was “the Niamh I have been waiting for.” She noted the strong technical execution and how Niamh “let the emotion tell the story,” concluding, “I am so proud of you.”
Arthur Gourounlian expressed his pride, stating niamh had made him “proud beyond belief” and thanking her from the bottom of his heart.
Brian Redmond described the dance as “a masterclass” in expressing emotion. He acknowledged a slight need for more space in the frame but added a personal note, saying, “like so many at home, I just wanted to also say thank you.Thank you for remembering the Daniels that exist in all our lives.”

Paudie moloney and laura Nolan
The final couple to perform on sunday’s show were The Traitors Ireland star Paudie Moloney and his professional partner Laura Nolan, dancing a Jive to Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock, dedicated to Paudie’s ten grandchildren.
Oti Mabuse called Paudie “the king of entertainment,” but critiqued the performance, noting that the kicks and flicks “weren’t happening” and there were timing issues. She encouraged Paudie to return with renewed energy.
arthur Gourounlian felt the performance “didn’t have the Paudie energy that I needed.”
Brian Redmond said it was “pretty flat throughout.” He jokingly stated that if Paudie hadn’t played the prison guard in the dance,he would have been in jail for “crimes against dance!”
Karen Byrne acknowledged the lack of bounce and retraction typical of a jive but playfully suggested Paudie wouldn’t need immunity,as the votes from his “many grandchildren” would likely secure his place in the competition.
11 points for Paudie and Laura
