International dancing show 'Dancing with the Stars' is coming to Ireland from next year.

RTÉ has confirmed the international version of the UK's 'Strictly Come Dancing' will air in early 2017.

It will see 11 well-known celebrities paired with professional ballroom dancers, who will compete each week by performing one or more choreographed routines.

It will replace 'The Voice Of Ireland' after five series on RTÉ One.

'Dancing with the Stars' has been licensed to over 50 countries - including South Africa, India, New Zealand, Italy, USA and Columbia.
