It’s week eight on Dancing with the Stars Ireland and it looks like everyone has upped the ante.
From Dayl’s impressive ‘Dirty Dancing’ lift as part of his contemporary ballroom dance the overall theme of the night was an emotional one.
What about that lift! Amazing @CroninDayl & @KzKsenia #DWTSIrl pic.twitter.com/IhDH6YygsF

But it all came to a climax when Des Cahill got a surprise visit from Dubliner John Sheehan.
The music legend popped by rehearsals to play the duo the Marino Waltz while they practiced their waltz.
The sports pundit was clearly moved by his partner Karen’s planned surprised and even brought the tears to the dance floor after his performance.
And let’s just say, he started a trend.
Ah lads. Des Cahill being surprised by John Sheehan 😭😭😭😭😭 #DWTSIrl

Chatting to Nicky Byrne after the performance he said that his tears were “smiles”.
No, you’re crying.
