RTE Dancing with the Stars winner Nina Carberry responds to suggestion Jordan Conroy should have won

Dancing with the Stars champion Nina Carberry has praised her fellow dance partners after she was crowned winner of the 2022 series on Sunday night.

Nina and pro-partner Pasquale won over the public following an evening of sensational performances, and were crowned champions after 12 weeks of live dances on the show.

"This is an incredible show and I'm delighted to be part of it all!" Nina said.

Some viewers were of the opinion that Rugby 7s hunk Jordan Conroy should have taken the crown, but Nina said "unfortunately, there was only one winner".

She told RSVP Live : "All of the dancers were brilliant, it was probably the most competitive final on Dancing with the Stars of all time.

"Not one of them danced badly tonight and they deserve to lose. Unfortunately, there was only one winner and I was delighted to be part of the show.

"For Jordan, it is hard that there was only one winner but we all danced great. And I don’t think anyone will have any regrets."

Nina's partner Pasquale, who also won with Lottie Ryan on the last series of the show, as well as in Belgium in 2019, described Nina as "a dream woman" following the win.

The cast of Dancing With The Stars 2022 have kept audiences thrilled and entertained with their captivating live performances on Sunday evenings since the cold nights of early January, and tonight, everything was still to play for in the grand final!

Presented by Jennifer Zamparelli and Nicky Byrne, the judges Arthur Gourourlian, Brian Redmond, and Loraine Barry returned to the dancefloor for one last time this series to given their votes - but on Sunday night, it was only the votes of the public that went towards deciding the winner.
