Going for gold! The fourth DWTS contestant has been revealed and we're sure that they will be going for the win...
We already have our first three celebrities lined up.Yes, Irish Olympian Jack Woolley is the fourth celebrity to join Dancing with the Stars.He made his debut with Team Ireland at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and most recently, he competed at the Paris 2024 Olympics earlier this year.
Alongside his Olympic achievements, Jack was awarded silver medals at the European Championships in 2022 and the European Games in 2023, along with bronze medals at the Taekwondo Grand Prix in 2018 and 2022. Speaking about joining the series, Jack said: “I’m excited. This is something completely new for me. I think taekwondo is going to help because I’m flexible and I know my body, but remembering the steps is completely different.“With taekwondo, I’m standing in front of somebody who’s moving and I’m responding to what they’re doing. I’m fighting them, and it’s so unpredictable. But with this, you’ve got the set steps that you have to do in time. That’s going to be completely new to me.
On what he feels most nervous about, he joked: “I was most nervous about getting a spray tan, to be honest! I was afraid it was going be a bit splotchy and I’d look ridiculous. But the first one worked out well, so who knows? “I might be a bit of a diva after this, getting a spray tan and my hair and makeup done every week after the show! I’m just embracing it at the moment.”
