The former Miss Universe Ireland, who has been working as a nurse in Derry up until recently, found herself in the ‘Dance Off’ on Sunday night’s show, despite gaining 25 out of 30 votes from the judges.

Fans, friends and family of Grainne have launched a campaign for people across the North West to vote for the local girl when she performs on the show on Sunday night with her professional partner, Kai Widdrington. The pair were the first duo to achieve the coveted 30 points from judges two weeks ago and continue to impress.

This week, Grainne was also nominated as Most Stylish Newcomer in the VIP Style Awards. Again, it’s a public vote and you can cast yours at www.vip.ie.

You can vote for Grainne on Dancing with the Stars when voting begins on Sunday night by texting GRÁINNE (with or without the fada) to 53125 or call 0901 133 1107. See RTE One on Facebook.
