Dancing With The Stars’ Johnny Ward has confirmed he is single while stepping out with ex-pro partner Emily Barker at the VIP Style Awards last night.
But the pair crushed any rumours they were an item at the star-studded event attended by the likes of former Miss Universe Ireland Roz Purcell at the Marker Hotel in Dublin.
Confirming his split with ex-girlfriend and fellow dancer Rachel Treacy, the actor told the Irish Daily Mirror he was sorry the relationship ended.

He added: “I can’t think of anything worse than dating someone at the minute. I’ve just got too much going on.
“But no we aren’t [together]. I suppose with everything that happened it is kind of like having a counsellor and there all the time if you know what I mean.”
Now in its 18th year, the awards are firmly established as the definitive celebration of Ireland’s most stylish people.
