The Dancing With The Stars contestant is going from one high to another, as it was just announced that she will be fronting her very own new radio show with TalkSPORT
Kayleigh Trappe is set to host a new show after the Dancing With The Stars final.
After making it all the way to the end of the dance competition, the TikTok star is going from one high to another.
She will be fronting her very own radio show with TalkSPORT, called MNÁsplaining - with mná meaning women in Irish.
The radio station shared a clip of Kayleigh introducing the new show as they teased that more details will be released soon.
They captioned the post: “Introducing the host of our brand new show MNÁsplaining @ktrappe ... coming soon”.
In the video, Kayleigh said: “Well folks, I’m Kayleigh Trappe and this is TalkSPORT Ireland’s Mnásplaining.”
The Monaghan native is fluent in Irish, but admitted that we’re failing children by not having enough Gaelscoils.
“It’s a case of supply and demand,” she recently told Katie Hannon on RTE’s Upfront. “I hail from Monaghan and I know that – I was on the board of management for five years there – the numbers are just constantly increasing.
“My sister was expecting a child, and she had the child enrolled in a Gaelscoil before she was even born just to make sure she got a place. I know there’s such a need and want for the language.”
The former teacher continued: “If we’re hoping that people are fluent in the language it all starts from the schools and the schools need to be provided – especially when you have the chance to send them to a primary school but don’t have the chance to send them to a secondary school. It’s like the choice is being taken away from them.
“I think if we were to have more choices in that situation, then we wouldn’t need to worry about the fact that they’d keep it up because they’d be able to progress through that.”
The Gaeilgeoir explained that we need to approach teaching Irish in a more positive way.
“I was a senior infant teacher for years, I wasn’t teaching in a Gaelscoil but I used Irish all day, every day and the kids knew no different,” she said.
“They came out the other end with such a positive outlook on it.”
She added: “If we’re having this negative approach all the time and giving out (about) should it be compulsory, should it not be – the children are hearing these things and it’s like ‘monkey see, monkey do’.
“If they know no different, they will pick up the language so fast – they’re like sponges.”
