Dancing with the Stars returned for a fifth series on 9 January 2022 on RTÉ One. This was the first series in two years after the show was put on a year-long hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 12 November 2021, it was announced that the show would return in the New Year with Nicky Byrne and Jennifer Zamparelli returning as hosts for a fifth and third series, respectively. It was also confirmed that Brian Redmond and Loraine Barry return as judges, however, Julian Benson did not. Armenian-born choreographer and creative director, Arthur Gourounlian joined the judging panel in Benson's place. [1] [2] [3] It was also confirmed that the series would start with twelve celebrities, rather than eleven as it had been for the previous four installments.

This series also saw professional dancers, Giulia Dotta, Kai Widdrington, Robert Rowiński and Ryan McShane depart the show. [4] They were replaced by five new professional dancers, Denys Samson, Ervinas Merfeldas, Hannah Kelly, Maurizio Benenato and Salome Chachua. [5] [6]

The final on 27 March 2022, was won by Nina Carberry and her partner Pasquale La Rocca. This marks La Rocca's second consecutive win, thereby making him the only professional dancer with more than one win on the show. [7] [8]

This was Nicky Byrne's final series as host.
