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!
And there are more TBA...
Aside from these four stars, rumours running rampant about who else could be joining them this year. It’s speculated that Channel Seven might be focusing on casting talent who already calls their network home, meaning Aussie legends from shows like The Block, MasterChef Australia, or Australian Survivor most likely won’t be making an appearance, according to Yahoo Lifestyle.
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
When and Where To Watch Dancing With The Stars Australia 2025
Good news! The series will be watchable weekly on Channel Seven free to air, and whenever you want via 7Plus!
The not-so-good news: the network hasn’t announced an exact air date just yet. However, when we look back over the years, previous seasons indicate that DWTS should be hitting our screens around June or July 2025.
