Mcgregor sister is a knockout as she tops board with salsa debut
CONOR Mcgregor’s older sister Erin proved there’s more than one champ in the family as she shimmied her way to the top on last night’s Dancing With The Stars.
On ladies night, the former bodybuilder brought her fighting spirit with a sizzling salsa with partner Ryan Mcshane.
A tearful Erin, who scored an impressive 23 points, told how she had to overcome crippling stage fright to take part in the second series of the competition.
The 36-year-old Dubliner said she hoped she brought her “inner fighter” to her knock-out performance.
She added: “Ever since I had that baby Anna Geary and Kai Widdrington Alannah Beirne & Vitali Kozmin I was afraid to get back out there. I feel amazing, so proud of myself, I did this for all the mams supporting me, when I didn’t think I could do it, who are sitting there watching me in their housecoats.
“I wouldn’t have signed that contract and got out there without them.”
Erin told how her superstar brother, 29, stayed in the shadows and let her have her moment in the spotlight.
She said: “Tonight was about my dancing and I let that dancing show tonight.”
But Erin had support from her partner, parents, sister Aoife and Conor’s girlfriend Dee Devlin, who looked stunning in a Gucci dress, in the audience.
