Glitterball Race Becomes Three-Way Shootout

The race for the Dancing with the Stars glitterball is tighter than ever after Jordan Dargan piled pressure on frontrunner Katelyn Cummins with a show-stopping performance that lit up an emotional night of dedicated dances.

Despite Cummins earning immunity from this weekend’s elimination, it was Dublin entrepreneur Dargan who stole the spotlight, landing the first 10s of the series and posting a season-high score of 39 from the judges. That standout routine sparked a surge of support from punters, with BOYLE Sports trimming him into 2/1 (from 7/2) for overall victory.

Katelyn, the reigning Rose of Tralee, continues to set the pace in the betting at 7/5, but her lead has narrowed considerably as Jordan closes in. TikTok sensation and Ireland AM presenter Eric Roberts completes a compelling top three at 15/8, leaving bookmakers calling it a straight three-horse race as the competition heads towards its decisive stages

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said:

“It really doesn’t get much closer than this, and Jordan’s perfect 10s have blown the race wide open. Katelyn still holds a narrow edge, but this is shaping up to be a genuine three-way battle, and the glitterball is truly up for grabs.”
