In this weeks episode of The Triple Effect, I’m joined by the legend Loraine Barry, one of the greatest ballroom dancers of all time. Loraine opens up about her extraordinary career, her early partnership and romance with Andrew Sinkinson, and the journey that led them to win the UK Championship, the European Open, and the World Championships together. In this rare and intimate conversation, she shares untold moments from her life, from the heartbreak of leaving her first husband and dance partner after a turbulent few years, to the pain of being shunned by her mentor, the legendary Bobbie Irvine, and even a surprising encounter with Princess Diana.
While most of us will know Loraine today as the poised and respected head judge on RTÉ’s Dancing With The Stars, Loraine's story is far richer and more personal than many have ever heard.
Loraine is a breath of fresh air, elegant, grounded, and deeply genuine. She reflects on her incredible career and personal ups and downs with humility, grace, and a deep sense of fulfillment. Now in a new chapter of her life, she’s finally found the balance between career and personal joy, and it shows.
This episode is a celebration of prioritising your own health and happiness, and the enduring spirit of a true icon.
Enjoy the episode!
