Did you know that Ireland has its own version of “Dancing With The Stars”? Did you also know that Conor McGregor’s sister, a “fitness model” named Erin McGregor, was apparently considered enough of a star for Season 2 of the show?
And if, right about now, you’re perplexed at how being the sibling to a very famous person qualifies anyone as a “star,” you might want to note two things: 1) Season 2 of the Irish DWTS also included a former Olympic racewalker, so maybe the celebrity bar isn’t set terribly high, and 2) Rob Kardashian was on the American version of the show, so let’s not act like our bar is that much higher.
Clearly, it’s Erin’s last name that makes her noteworthy in Ireland, and being the older sister to a UFC star and worldwide phenomenon was enough to get her on a televised dancing contest. According to reports out of Ireland, she got off to a shaky start, but pulled it together enough to make it all the way to the semifinals before being kicked off this week.
