Meteorologist Joanna Donnelly admits to feeling overwhelmed after her first performance on Dancing with the Stars, describing herself as a 'physical and emotional wreck'.
Dancing with the Stars premiered on Sunday night. Rhys McClenaghan and Laura Nolan led the scoreboard with their exceptional dance performance. Conversely, Joanna Donnelly and her professional partner Maciej Zieba secured the lowest marks, receiving only 15 points. Donnelly confessed to being a 'physical and emotional wreck' following the initial dance routine. She shared pictures from the dance floor on social media and expressed the show's overwhelming nature.
'I'm posting this one and only social media post then I'm turning my phone off for the day because it's all just TOO MUCH. I'm a physical and emotional wreck,' she admitted. 'I clearly took on way too much trying to work through and didn't get enough rest. I absolutely loved the experience and when the show kicked off the party atmosphere was electric. Every single person working on the show from Grace that did my tan, the whole team in hair, Mary in make up, Shauna Niamh and Cherie in costume, catering, Neil in transport, sets, lighting, choreographers, designers, producers, the runners are all absolute darlings that absolutely won’t let you get your own tea but insist on bringing it to you, everyone there and anyone I missed make the privilege of being on DWTSIRL a dream job.' She further remarked: 'And that’s not even to mention my fantastic partner, Maciej who, despite my completely messing up my steps, is a really perfect teacher. I’m going try hard to rest for the rest of today – it is Nollaig na mBán after all – the decorations are down and house is relatively tidy (how is that still the mammy’s job even on 6/1) and then start it all again tomorrow. Once I finish these chocs.' Well we can’t wait to see her grace the dancefloor on Sunday
