WE have yet to see odds about Davy Russell winning the 2024 edition of Dancing with the Stars on RTÉ but, based on split-second video clips of the former jockey dancing in promotional adverts for the show, he looks a longshot to emulate Nina Carberry by lifting the Glitterball Trophy in the new year.
