TV role is a Flat' out success

The Cork-based tycoon received a thumbs up from The Washington Post for presenting the show dubbed "the Olympics of dance".

Flatley was described as “likable”, “well spoken” and a "classy" addition to the show, which draws 10.4 million viewers – the biggest primetime show on NBC this season.

However, the rest of the show wasn’t well received as the reviewer comments: "Where the dancing falls short, you can count on swooping camerawork to sustain a blinding onslaught of glitz. Glitz is the real star here. There little else to sell this series."
