Co Tyrone country star Cliona Hagan waltzed her way to the final of RTÉ’s Dancing with the Stars last night.

Ms Hagan and her partner Rober Rowinski overcame a mishap at the start of her first routine when a scarf became entangled under their feet to secure a score of 22 from the judges.

The pair then bagged a high enough score on the public vote to carry them into the final.

In week eight of the competition she became the first contestant to score a perfect 30.

A former music student at Queen’s University Belfast, Cliona has taken a break from her music career to take part in the hit RTÉ show.
