Dancing With The Stars favourite Emily Barker has moved to Ireland with her boyfriend Olly Ashton.
The professional dancer, who appeared on the hit RTE show between 2017 and 2023, has relocated from England and is now based in Ireland full-time.
Since leaving Dancing With The Stars, Emily has focused all of her attention on her personal training business, Mad Hot Fit. Because the majority of her clients live in Ireland rather than the UK, she and boyfriend Olly decided to make the move here full-time.

"WE HAVE MOVED TO IRELAND," Emily announced on social media earlier this month.
"Our whole business is based in Ireland, so it makes sense for us to be there. We just felt for us to be able to give our business 1000% energy, we need to physically be there."
Of course, Emily is no stranger to Dublin having been based there during her time on Dancing With The Stars. But now the British beauty is adapting to life in the rural countryside.
Sharing snaps from her time here so far, Emily posted on Instagram: "Just us being country bumpkins on our first week living in Ireland."
As well as running Mad Hot Fit, Emily and Olly are making lots of time for walks on the beach for their two dogs, as well as enjoying cosy nights by the fire in their new home.
Emily stepped away from Dancing With The Stars in 2023 after lifting the glitterball trophy with Carl Mullan.
Prior to Carl, the dancer also partnered Hughie Maughan, Rob Heffernan, Johnny Ward, Aidan Fogarty and Aengus Mac Grianna.
Speaking about her decision to leave the show, Emily told RSVP Live at the time: "It was the right time for me. I finished on a high after winning the show with Carl Mullan. I had six really amazing seasons on Dancing with the Stars, but now my business is really taking off.
"I think I was ready to take that step and try new things and be able to delve into other opportunities that I wasn't 100 percent able to commit to before. The show was always very demanding.
"For me, it never felt monotonous and it wasn't like I was bored. Every year, I went into it thinking it was a challenge and there was always something new.
"The main goal, for me, was always to win the show and I have achieved that. As a result, I want to go on and achieve something new in a different area of my life."
