Dancing With The Stars: All Stars is set to premiere on Sunday, February 20, on Channel 7 and 7plus – ahead of the Beijing Winter Olympics closing ceremony.
After weeks of intensive training, champions from the past 17 seasons of the competition – as well as four wild card entrants – will leave it all out on the dance floor for their chance to take home the coveted mirror ball trophy in 2022.
The most talented season of dancers ever to appear on the show will face the judgment of returning panel Todd McKenney, Helen Richey, Paul Mercurio, and Mark Wilson.
Hosts Daryl Somers and Sonia Kruger also return to present the dance extravaganza.
Returning Dancing With The Stars series winners including TV personality Grant Denyer (Season 4, 2006), actress Bridie Carter (Season 7, 2007), former AFL players David Rodan (Season 14, 2014) and Anthony Koutoufides (Season 5, 2006).
Other returning All Stars looking to claim victory include singer-songwriter Ricki-Lee (Season 14, 2014), The Morning Show co-host Kylie Gillies (Season 9, 2009) and entertainer Courtney Act (Season 16, 2019).
Also putting their best foot forward are actress Olympia Valance (Season 16, 2019), reality TV star Angie Kent (Season 17, 2020) and actor and entertainer Rob Mills (Season 9, 2009).
This season’s wildcard entrants are Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac, model and TV presenter Kris Smith, music artist Deni Hines and actor Cameron Daddo, who are set to shimmy and shake things up as the dancefloor’s dark horses.
Seven Network programming director, Angus Ross, said: “The first season of All Stars was the perfect mix of entertainment, celebrity and fierce competition, proving a stand-out hit with Australian audiences.
“We have a fantastic cast ready to hit the dancefloor for season two. With a history of multiple perfect scores in the ranks, it’s going to be a brilliant series.”
