This morning RTÉ confirmed that Jennifer will be joining fellow 2FM host and Westlife band member Nicky Byrne for the show's third season which will return in January with contestants due to be announced in the coming weeks. Jennifer will replace Amanda Byram who presented Dancing With The Stars since it's launch on the 8th January 2017. In August Byram confirmed she would not be returning for the third season citing professional and personal commitments in London and L.A.

Following the announcement, the Breakfast Republic presenter and Bridget and Eamon star said,"I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Dancing with the Stars team.  I was lucky enough to witness the live production first-hand last year when I sat in the audience supporting Bernard O’Shea and I was genuinely so impressed by the overall scale of the show. I can’t wait to get my glam on and start entertaining the nation on Sunday nights and who better to do it with than the fabulous Nicky Byrne."
