Copper Face Jacks: The Musical
Johnny chats to Sarina about how he never thought he would be in a play about Coppers but he can't believe how much he loves it.
The play which is based on the famous nightclub tells the story of a sweet Kerry girl who falls for the charm of a Dublin man.

So at long last I can finally reveal that my dance partner on @DWTSIRL is the wonderful @emilybarkerwork She's a phenomenal mentor, a very hard worker but always up for a laugh. I honestly couldn't be happier! pic.twitter.com/49IVGPHa6E
