Dancing with the Stars contestant Kevin McGahern maintains he has not been told who he replaced on the hit RTE show, but admitted he was a late replacement.
Reports in recent weeks have suggested that McGahern was not initially in producers' plans for the latest series of Dancing with the Stars but he came on board after being contacted at the last minute.
The stand-up comedian, 36, claimed "I can't say a lot" when asked to comment on rumours that he replaced an unnamed Irish reality TV star who repeatedly failed to show up to practice sessions.
