Nine Co Armagh couples are taking part in a glittering Strictly Come Dancing competition to help raise funds for Women’s Aid.

This is the latest event organised by Eilish Gowdy and Pat McDade who decided after a Strictly event 10 years ago that they would like to continue with it and raise funds for local charities.

This year, following the horrific murder of Lurgan woman Natalie McNally and her unborn child, the pair decided to raised the funds for Women’s Aid and those affected by domestic violence.

“Over the years we have raised money for different charities," said Eilish. "We have supported charities such as Pretty in Pink, Alzheimer’s, Cancer Research, PIPs, Sands, Cash for Kids, MacMillan. And we raised over £118,000.”

Praising all the couples who are taking part this year, Eilish singled out their teacher. "We couldn’t do this without the help of our choreographer, Jenny Kinkead,” she said.
