Dr Marie Cassidy said she’s looking for “fun” and “frivolity” after years of dealing with death as Ireland’s first female State pathologist.
RTE viewers will see the Scottish native in a new light when she performs the jive with pro partner Stephen Vincent on Dancing With The Stars this evening. Marie, 64, admits she “missed out on life” during her career as a forensic and DNA expert for more than four decades.
She joins an eclectic line up that includes Eurovision entrant Brooke Scullion, 23, rugby legend Shane Byrne, 51, and influencer and 38-year-old businesswoman Suzanne Jackson. Drag artist Panti Bliss, 54, footballer Stephanie Roche, 33, and 34-year-old Derry Girls star Leah O’Rourke are also among those vying for the approval of judges Loraine Barry, Brian Redmond and Arthur Gurunlian.
