A new batch of celebrities have returned to Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars to make their comebacks.
The stellar cast that includes Ricki-lee Coulter, Kylie Gillies, Angie Kent, Courtney Act, and more are putting their best foot forward as they attempt to sidestep and tango their way to victory.
Though the contestants all bonded during their time on the show, it is ultimately a competition.
Wild card Cameron Daddo revealed to TV WEEK that he had a disadvantage after signing up for the show late.
“They [the producers] had asked me a few times over the years [to take part], but this time, I’d been leading a rather sedentary life with COVID and thought it was a great opportunity to get moving again,” he revealed.

“We got started straight away, but I didn’t realise we came in late, and everyone had already been dancing for three weeks.”
But on the other hand, his fellow wild card Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac thinks he has a shot at taking home the mirror ball trophy.
“I may not be the best technical dancer and I rarely remember the choreography, but I will entertain!” he joked with TV WEEK. “Just by stepping onto the floor, I’ve won because I’ve shared my gift – yes, it’s a gift – with the world.”
But who has what it takes? Here are the celebrities who fell short of making their comeback and waved goodbye to the dance floor.
Dancing With The Stars
Olympia Valance
Olympia gave a sultry rendition of the foxtrot, which captured the hearts of her judges. She received a nine from Todd, Helen, Mark and a ten from Paul, but it wasn’t enough to see her through to the next round. So, even though it pained the judges when it came down to the wire, they chose Deni to go through.

Rob Mills
Rob brought a lot of joy to the stage with a Viennese Waltz, but he sadly failed to capture the judges’ hearts and didn’t receive any nominations from them when he found himself in the bottom three.
Rob got an eight from Todd and Helen and a nine from Paul and Mark.

Kylie Gillies
Kylie was a joy to watch dance the samba, and even though she ranked second on the full-time leader board, she ended up in the bottom three.
Judges Todd and Helen gave her an eight, Mark a nine, and Paul a ten, which gave her a total of 35. Sadly, for Kylie and her fans, the judges chose to keep Kris Smith after she battled it out for a spot in the competition.

Anthony Koutoufides
Anthony tried his best to whip out a stellar quickstep but found himself in the bottom three with Kylie Gillies and Kris Smith.
Judges Todd and Hellen gave him a score of eight, Paul gave a ten, Mark a nine, which gave him a total of 35. Sadly, he packed up his dancing skills with Kylie when Kris won their salsa battle.
Dancing With The Stars
Sam Mac
Sunrise’s weatherman brought his famous energy to the dance floor, but it wasn’t enough to see him to the show’s end.
Although the judges said his routine was a cross between Mick Jagger and John Cleese, he couldn’t keep up with his competition. Todd McKenney gave him a four, Helen Richey a six, Paul Mercurio a five, and Mark Wilson a four.
Sam shared the bottom two with Deni Hines, but the only judge keen to see more of the presenter for his “entertainment value” was Helen.

Bridie Carter
The actor took on the Samba with an old school twist, and even though her performance was gorgeous, she didn’t quite make it over the line.
Bridie received an eight from Todd McKenney, ten from Mark Wilson, and a nine from Helen Richey and Paul Mercurio, which gave her a total of 36.
Of course, the actor gave a classy response to her loss by sharing, “Thank you for having me.”
Dancing With The Stars
Angie Kent
Former Bachelorette Angie Kent was the second celeb to say goodbye to DWTS after performing the Cha-Cha.
She received a six from Todd McKenney, a five from Helen Richey, and sevens from Paul Mercurio and Mark Wilson, which gave her a total of 25.
Unfortunately, Angie ended up with the second-lowest score and the lowest rank and had to say goodbye.
Dancing With The Stars
Cameron Daddo
Sadly, the former Home and Away actor’s disadvantage got the best of him, and after receiving a five from Todd McKenny and a six from Helen Richey, Paul Mercurio and Mark Wilson, he was the first celeb to tap off the stage.
Cameron’s performance with his pro-dance partner Megan Wragg was a fair attempt considering they only trained for two weeks, but they were ultimately too stiff to make it over the line.
