Flatley & Bulter's Fate of the Dance...

Turn of favour couldn't be more different for the two people who brought Riverdance to the world, Michael Flatley and Jean Butler, as one of them could be crippled within 10 years!

Michael Flatley is preparing to host the party of all parties with Nelson Mandella confirmed to be the first person through the doors of his Castlehyde home in Cork.

Billionaire Flatley will return the favour by personally performing on the opening night of his Lord of the Dance show when it hits South Africa next spring.

Jean on the other hand has revealed to the press that she will have to give up dancing or she will be crippled within 10 years.

Decades of Irish dance has left Jean, who currently stars in the movie Goldfish Memory, with battered knees and creaky ankles.

The stunning redhead told the press in regard her exit from dancing: "I'd say there will be a time because I'll be pretty crippled... in about 10 years."

Jean tried to follow Flately's success with her own show Dancing on Dangerous Ground but it flopped leaving massive debts.

But Jean showed her true grit and followed the first rule of business which is to learn from your failures, she said in reference to the failed show:

"I think there is something humbling about having a huge commercial failure in your life. It makes you look at things with far less eriousness."

But don't count talented Jean out just yet, the 32 year old has made three movies in the last year.
