Anna, who was a finalist on the show in 2018, said she was shocked about the negative headlines surrounding fans' fury that Dundon remained on the show on Sunday night, while comic Gearoid Farrelly was sent home
Anna Geary has dismissed Dancing with the Stars "fix claims" - saying celebrity chef Kevin Dundon "deserves" to be on the RTE One show.
"You have to look at the person from week one all the way through to where he is now, and he's embracing what the experience is meant to be about." "If you’re to look at his improvement from week one to now, it's probably better than anybody else in this competition, because some were already really good dancers, whereas if you look at his 'journey', he has improved so much.
"I just think people need to pay attention to actually imagine if you were in that position, and imagine, wouldn't you want people rooting for you?" "As a competitive person, saying it - I never thought I would actually say this - but when you leave the competition, whether you've won it or not, you're disappointed it's over."So when I lost the final, it was the disappointment. Obviously, the competitor in me would love to have won, but that wasn't why I was disappointed.The mother-of-one said she believes Kevin is "having a call" while on the show, saying he "deserves" to be on the dancefloor.
