Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Denys Samson broke down in tears after his perfomance as he spoke out about his heartache over Russia’s attack on his native Ukraine.
Ukrainian Denys is a newcomer to the RTE show this year, and travelled to Ireland to begin training for the series before Christmas.
Speaking to host Nicky Byrne after the show, the emotional dancer said: "Everyone knows what is going on in Ukraine. My family is there, and my friends."
