Gaa star won’t let this week’s dance achy Break her Heart

- BY DEMELZA de BURCA

DANCING With The Stars contestant Anna Geary has said she isn’t worried about matching her perfect score from last week’s show.

The camogie player became the first celebrity this series to get three 10s from the judges following her impressive Charleston.

Speaking to the Irish Mirror, the 30-year-old said: “I don’t feel any extra pressure to be honest.

“It’s a different dance this week. Some come more naturally than others and for me the Charleston was my dance.

“The fact it’s Guilty Pleasures week makes it a little harder because the song is very cheesy. These are the songs that everyone loves to hate.

“It’s challengin­g but I’m loving it. I’m not worried about the score, I’m worried about doing the best I can with the dance.”

The Cork-born Fittest Family star and partner Kai Widdringto­n have to light up the floor tomorrow night with a foxtrot to Billy Ray Cyrus’s 90s hit Achy Breaky Heart.

Anna said: “My dad’s a big country fan and he is going to be in the audience on Sunday. He has no idea we’ll be dancing to this.

“I used to hate it growing up but any time I hear country music now it reminds me of home.”

Meanwhile, Marty Morrissey has admitted he’ll feel guilty if he’s kept in the competitio­n while one of the better dancers has to go.

The 59-year-old GAA legend, who will be dancing a rumba to Chris de Burgh’s Lady In Red, said: “There’s a bit of movement in it, it’s a challenge. But they all are to be honest.

“I don’t want anyone to go but it’s down to the public voting.”
