Brooke, from Bellaghy in Co Derry, represented Ireland at Eurovision in 2022 with ‘That’s Rich’. She co-wrote the song and travelled to Turin in Italy for the competition but was unlucky not to qualify.
Brooke first came to public attention in 2020 on The Voice UK. All four coaches turned for Brooke and she made it all the way to the final.
In September 2020 Brooke wrote and released her debut single ‘Attention’ and followed on with her EP, 'Chaotic Heart'.
Brooke said: “I’m so excited to be joining the Dancing with the Stars family and to be part of an iconic Irish series! What girl doesn’t want to get on her dancing shoes every Sunday night?!
"It’s a dream come true - bring on the sequins!”
