Producer and director John McColgan has lifted the lid on the infamous Riverdance split with Michael Flatley insisting: “He wasn’t fired.”
McColgan, who was one of the key players behind the hit stage show, said he worked alongside superhoofer Flatley but fame and success “went to his head”.
The multi-award winning producer, who is RTE’S former head of entertainment, refuted Flatley’s claims he was axed just before the show’s second run in London.
