Erica Cody says she’s trying to keep her Dancing with the Stars partner Denys Samson’s spirits high whilst his family are worried for their safety in Ukraine.
Professional dancer Denys is a newcomer to the RTE show this year, and has spoken out on his fears for his family and friends at home in the Ukraine amid Russia’s war on the country, as he is currently based here in Ireland performing in the dance series.
Speaking ahead of their quarter final performance this weekend, Erica said the show has been a form of escapism for him, and said she and the fellow cast and crew have been trying to be a support system for him amid the horror and worry.
