The Eurovision legend is currently rehearsing for next year's Dancing With The Stars - but the singer says he is well acquainted with the glitzy ballroom floor having worked on Let's Dance in Germany
Eurovision star Mickey Joe Harte has revealed how he has picked up work in Germany during tougher times in his career to help pay the bills.
He told the Irish Sunday Mirror: "You have to be more versatile and wear a few different hats. I mean I do vocals on Strictly in Germany, Let's Dance, not that anybody knows."That's just another gig I do. It's a nice thing to be asked to do. I was working with people in Germany over the last number of years and I got to know a producer and one of his side gigs is Let's Dance.
He said: "It's gotten very difficult. I don't like to sound like the grinch, but it really is incredibly hard. It's harder to get even playlisted now. There is a very limited number of spaces for new indigenous stuff, new Irish stuff coming through. "That was the hardest time - that first six to eight months trying to figure out a different way to get revenue streams in.He said he was lucky he got such huge support before representing Ireland in the Eurovision back in 2003 with the hit, We've Got The World Tonight in Latvia. Not at the time because I was coming off the back of You're A Star and it was huge. The single was Number 1 when we left here. It was a different time, it was 21 years ago.
"And you have to try and keep up with it. It's so hard. There are so many things you have to do in terms of social media so it's really tricky. There was a process when we started - you recorded a record, you put it out, you done a radio tour and an in-store tour and you went on tour and then you'd get onto your next record.
