Aidan O’Mahony has been crowned the WINNER of the very first Dancing With The Stars Ireland.
After a show stopping finale episode on RTÉ One, the former Kerry footballer and his dance partner Valeria were awarded the Glitterball trophy.
Despite finalists Aoibhin Garrihy and Denise McCormack being favourites to win the contest since week one, Aidan won the public’s vote in the end.
So far, there has been a mixed reaction to Aidan’s win on Twitter. See what viewers have to say:

Everyone forgets @GmailMahony had never danced before the show. Girls had prev experience. #DWTSIrl

It was a public vote, so Aidan obviously had people behind him.Fair play to him. If you’re annoyed by it- did you vote? #DWTSIrl #begrudgers

Yet another example of an inferior man getting the top job against vastly more qualified women. #DWTSIrl
