The Aussie reality TV season is warming up—with I’m A Celeb and MAFS already underway—and next, we’re set to see our fave Aussie icons boogie into the year on the latest season of Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) Australia!
Channel Seven has started releasing some details around the highly-anticipated season, including a couple of the big-name stars that we can expect to see hitting the d-floor this year. Scroll on for everything we know so far.
Who Is Joining Dancing With The Stars Australia 2025?
With a completely new kickline of contestants coming to our screens soon, it looks like we’re in for quite a vibrant 2025 season of DWTS.
So far, the confirmed stars are:
01
Brittany Hockley
Brittany Hockley has definitely tangoed with reality TV before, but she has never taken on anything quite like Dancing With The Stars. The news was first broken when the Life Uncut podcaster and The Pick Up radio host revealed that she bagged a spot on the show after producers’ eyes were caught by a viral video of her struggling through a wedding dance practice with her fiancé, Ben. She was clearly in desperate need of a dance lesson!
Brittany first won over the Aussie public on The Bachelor Season 6 before appearing on Bachelor in Paradise, The Challenge Australia, and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
02
Harry Garside
Ever seen a boxer do a box step? Well, we might now! Harry Garside is trading in his boxing ring for the ballroom as he joins the 2025 cast of DWTS. The Olympic bronze medallist, who made history as Australia’s first male boxing medallist in 33 years at the Tokyo Games, is always ready to take a challenge head-on. He’s already found his feet in the reality TV world, finishing as runner-up on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2023.
03
Shaun Micallef
Shaun Micallef will be bringing his funny comedic flare to Dancing With The Stars Australia in 2025. The beloved comedian and TV veteran appeared on multiple shows across three different networks in 2024—and now, the star will be making his dancing debut in 2025 on the hit television competition. We’re not exactly sure what moves Shaun has up his sleeve, but we can’t wait to tune in a find out!
04
Rebecca Gibney
The red carpet is being rolled out for Kiwi actress Rebecca Gibney this year! Best known for her roles on Australian television in The Flying Doctors, Packed to the Rafters and Winter and Wanted, the talented on-screen veteran will be swapping out her script for some salsa dancing!
05
Felicity Ward
The Aussie comedian and actress is set to hit the stage with some flare during tonights season premiere! Felicity has stolen countless hearts with her role in the Australian spin-off of the widely popular sitcom, The Office.
06
Karina Carvalho
Karina’s about to put down the mic and pick up her tap shoes! Her TV dancing debut tonight is going to be *slightly* different to her regular gig as Seven News’ beloved weekend presenter. We already know she’s cool under pressure, but can she keep up?
07
Mia Fevola
The 25-year-old model and influencer, and daughter of AFL legend Brendan Fevola, is keen to step into the spotlight in this 2025 season of Dancing With The Stars. After her father gave the famous dancing competition a crack back in 2012, Mia is now following in her father’s footsteps — hopefully with a bit more rhythm.
08
Trent Cotchin
The former AFL triple premiership-winning captain has got his head in the game — the DWTS game that is. Currently working in a leadership-supporting role form the Brisbane Lions, were excited to see if Trent has what it takes to go all the way in this competition.
09
Michael Usher
After almost 4 decades in the newsroom, Michaeal is pivoting from breaking news, to breakdancing on the national stage! We can imagine the longtime Seven News presenter will be taking on the competition with passion and determination — but will that be enough to out-dance his young-gun competitors?
10
Osher Günsberg
From the show of love, to the dance of love — Osher doesn’t shy away from a challenge. The Bachelor Australia Host isn’t letting his recent diagnosis of osteoarthritis stand in the way of him, and the title of Dancing With The Stars Australia 2025. We’re looking forward to seeing his trademark charisma carried out on the dance floor!
11
Kyle Shilling
Well known for his role as Mali Hudson in Home And Away, Kyle has had an impressive career as an actor, dancer and hip hop musician, so, we won’t be surprised if he smashes this season of DWTS out of the park. Proudly from the Widjabul clan of the Bundjalung Nation, the competition should be second nature for the talented 31-year-old.
12
Susie O'Neill
Susie has become quite accustomed to receiving gold, so we imagine she won’t settle for anything less than taking home the DWTS trophy this year. The 8-time Olympic swimming medal winner has proven herself in the pool, but now it’s time to see how she performs in some high-stakes partner dancing.
Who Are The Judges For Dancing With The Stars 2025?
The 2025 DWTS judging panel won’t be undergoing any changes this season, so all four experts from last year will be making a twirling return! The judges for 2025 are:
- Craig Revel Horwood
- Helen Richey
- Sharna Burgess
- Mark Wilson
