Virgin Media Ireland AM viewers give mixed reaction to pole dancer's performance

An aerial pole dancer appeared on Ireland AM on Wednesday morning to give a live performance, leaving many viewers very impressed.

Lisette recently won €50,000 on Virgin Media's The Big Deal, and was invited onto Ireland AM to showcase her skills.

While most viewers congratulated Lisette on her dance, some found the segment inappropriate.

One person wrote on Instagram: "Just beautiful stunning words fail me congratulations Lisette."

Another posted: "Love this, her strength is amazing."

However some viewers thought the performance was not suitable for morning television.

One viewer wrote on Facebook: "Why do we need this muck on morning tv. Small kids getting ready for school and this is how women are projected."

Another said: "Bit early in the morning for that sight."

Lisette, 35, has previously appeared on Britain's Got Talent and has been competing as a professional pole dancer for 10 years.

She began her career in theatre in Venezuela before moving to Ireland and was soon competing in All Ireland competitions and World Championships.

Lisette offers classes in Dublin at Tribe Fitness Dance Studio.
