Quite the unexpected pivot here
Dr Cassidy is of course best known to the Irish public as having served as the first female State Pathologist for the country, across a 14-year period between 2004 and 2018. During this time, her name would come to be associated with numerous high-profile, headline-making cases.
In 2020, Cassidy wrote a book on her time in the role, entitled Beyond the Tape: The Life and Many Deaths of a State Pathologist. It would go on to become a number-one best-seller.As such, Cassidy is clearly a draw, and something of a major coup for Dancing with the Stars. She joins the likes of previously announced contestants Panti Bliss, Paul Brogan, Suzanne Jackson, and Brooke Scullion.
The new season is set to premiere on RTÉ One in January. Doireann Garrihy is on board as the new co-host to Jennifer Zamparelli, with Nicky Byrne having departed due to his Westlife commitments.Share article
