Teresa Mannion reveals hopes for her own chat show

Teresa Mannion has revealed her hopes for her very own chat show.

The RTÉ news reporter, who is currently busy two-stepping on RTÉ’s Dancing With The Stars, admitted that she wouldn’t rule out fronting her own show once DWTS comes to an end.

“I’ve never really thought about it but “Talk to Tess” has a ring to it,’ she told the Irish Mail on Sunday.

“It’s really gratifying to know there’s big public support out there for me on Dancing With The Stars,” she continued. “When I finished college, I went straight into children’s TV and then a science show, so I have worked in lots of different areas.

“That’s why Dancing With The Stars has been so much fun. It’s a light-entertainment, showbiz type of show – the polar opposite to news. I wouldn’t rule out a chat show – it would be nice.

“It’s nice to dip your toe into different projects. If you have done news, then you can pretty much do anything because you have to move so quickly,” she admitted.

Teresa, who went viral for her hilarious Storm Desmond news report back in 2015, is gearing up for tonight’s show in which she will be dancing to Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti with new partner Ryan McShane, who said this will be Teresa’s best dance yet – but, Teresa doesn’t see herself going the whole way in the competition.

“Each week for me is a bonus. I have never danced before and there are people who have more ability – I would like to see the really good dancers make the final.

“Genuinely, I mean that. I don’t see myself in the final. I don’t know how I would cope if myself and Des Cahill [RTÉ sports presenter] are in the final. But hopefully people will continue to vote for us,” she added.
