Irish dancer Michael Flatley

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LWLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FM

Morgan Bullock became popular overnight when her video doing Irish dancing to hip hop music gained fans around the world. Morgan sits down with Oti Mabuse to talk about her love of dancing and the dancers she enjoyed watching as a young girl. And the one who stands out for her is Michael Flatley.

Flatley is credited with reinventing Irish dancing and his shows have played to more than 60 million people worldwide. Morgan and Oti explore the life and monumental career of the Irish dancer with archive clips and expert knowledge from Dr Orfhlaith Ni Bhriain.

Oti has never put on Irish dance plimsolls before, but now she has a go with the aim of learning some steps in the style of Michael Flatley. Irish dancer Ziggy Gaca joins her in studio to demonstrate how it's done.
