Dancing with the Stars Australia 2023 has tapped its way to our screens and here’s everything we know about the exciting new season!
This year we’ve been blessed with another All-Stars rendition of Dancing With the Stars, which has us reality TV fiends buzzing with excitement.
However, it’s fair game, as this season features a brand new cast of celebrities that haven’t already hit the dance floor. So that means we can expect blunders, tears, struggles and all the drama we LOVE to see!
If you’re dying to find out more, keep scrolling to find out everything we know about Dancing with the Stars 2023.
Who are the contestants on Dancing with the Stars 2o23?
The shiny new series features a line-up of celebs who’ve never taken the DWTS dance floor before.
We’re talking names like MasterChef‘s Matt Preston, The Bachelor’s Laura Byrne, AFL legend Gavin Wanganeen and Olympians Sally Pearson and James Magnussen.
A flock of actors are also taking on DWTS, including Mary Coustas, Survivor’s Pia Miranda, Virginia Gay, Christie Whelan Browne and Home and Away’s Emily Weir.
But that’s not all!
Better Homes and Gardens’ Charlie Albone, Australian Idol’s Pauline ‘Paulini ‘ Curuenavuli, Human Nature’s Phil Burton and The Chase Australia’s, Issa Schultz will also be bustin’ a move this year. Phew, it sounds like it’s going to be a big one!
This season, the celebrities will be divided into two groups who will each be taking the stage on alternating nights. The leaderboard will be determined by the scores from both the judges and the studio audience, so yes, if you book a ticket to the live show, you get a say!
Who’s hosting Dancing with the Stars 2023?
This year, Daryl Somers has returned to host the show alongside fan favourite Sonia Kruger.
However, it seems like the 71-year-old wasn’t Channel Seven’s first choice. Ouch.
In fact, Dr Chris Brown was initially rumoured to be hosting the new season.
It was announced in February that the long-time I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! host was jumping ship from Network Ten to Seven.
However, it’s been said that Seven got Chris’ start date wrong and he couldn’t co-host DWTS due to his contractual obligations with Ten. We’ve been robbed!
Who’s judging Dancing with the Stars 2023?
Last year, Todd McKenney, Helen Richey, Paul Mercurio and Mark Wilson mercilessly judged the contestants on their dancing techniques.
Mark and Todd have returned to put the celebs through their paces. However, this year, some fresh faces have joined the judging committee.
Now, rumours were swirling that former judge Kym Johnson would be back for 2023.
However, this isn’t the case, as Strictly Come Dancing‘s Craig Revel Horwood and professional DWTS dancer Sharna Burgess are taking over as judges this season. And with their YEARS of experience, we’re sure they’re going to be BRUTAL!
