Look, it’s one of life’s many harsh but irrefutable truths – some people just aren’t very good dancers.
You’ve either got rhythm, or you don’t.
And that undeniable fact is always particularly evident on Dancing With The Stars, as each year we watch some of Australia’s most-loved celebrities strap on their dancing shoes and put their bodies on the line, while they attempt to shimmy and shake their way to winning $50,000 for their chosen charity, as well as taking home the coveted mirror ball trophy.
Following an intense training period with their professional dance partners, they are thrown out onto the dancefloor in front of a live studio audience and given just a few minutes to prove themselves.
Then, viewers at home are asked to vote for their favourite performance, and the celebrity with the least number of votes each week is given the flick.

BEAU RYAN
The footy star turned TV and radio host was brought to his knees – literally – by DWTS’ Latin week. But even after being eliminated so early, Beau remained positive. “It’s been one hell of a journey. I challenge myself every day and this was one huge challenge and I won’t stop,” he said.

ANGIE KENT
Our 2019 Bachelorette Angie Kent was devastated to be voted off the show in the second week, following her emotional dance tribute to her late grandmother. Now, Angie says has “hung up” her reality TV boots and is instead going to enjoy a quieter work schedule in 2020, as she settles into her new life in Sydney with boyfriend Carlin Sterritt.

DEAN WELLS
Former MAFS groom Dean Wells was the first celebrity contestant eliminated this season. But despite his early exit, Dean says he lost 8kg thanks to his intense dance training schedule and has vowed to live a healthier lifestyle from now on. Good for you Dean!
