Jennifer Zamparelli discusses Dancing with the Stars return and Aviva campaign

Presenter Jennifer Zamparelli has expressed her anticipation for the return of Doireann Garrihy to the RTÉ show ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in January. Garrihy was on maternity leave during the previous season, during which Laura Fox served as a substitute host.

Zamparelli noted that the transition was a “tough one” for both women, acknowledging the difficulty of stepping into a major role and the necessity of relinquishing it for family reasons. While looking forward to Garrihy’s return, Zamparelli also stated she would miss Fox, who performed the hosting duties during the interim.

Additionally, Zamparelli spoke at Aviva Stadium regarding the ‘ReBoot’ campaign. The initiative allows clubs and schools to host boot swap points, where families can donate used football boots and collect pre-loved pairs free of charge to help alleviate the rising costs of children’s sports.
