It is reported that members of the press were very impressed with Dustin and that his brand of humour travelled well.
At today's rehearsal, Dustin was reunited with Polish contestant Isis Gee, whom he met on 'The Late Late Show' recently.
Of their encounter today, he said: "Isis Gee wants to share a room with me, but when I saw it wasn't bunk beds I wasn't happy to share."
Tomorrow Dustin will be accompanied by other members of the Irish delegation to an Irish bar in Belgrade but must be home in bed by 9pm.
