Ray Kelly, Ireland's so-called "singing priest," was forced to contact gardai after one concerning phone call as he participates on the Irish version of "Dancing with the Stars".

Fr Kelly said the situation came to a head at the end of January when he received a phone call from a man asking to speak with Fr Kelly. Pretending to be someone else, Fr Kelly said he would take a note from the man and deliver it to the priest. That particular incident got Fr Kelly down and he considered pulling out of the show. He seems to have laughed the matter off.
