Dancing with the Stars: who’s in the new season?

The 12 stars competing for the mirror ball trophy are a mix of sports legends, chefs, actors and wildcards.

You can almost smell the funk of spray tans and hear the tap of ballroom dancing shoes as twelve new celebrities don the sequins and prepare to show off their potentially awkward moves as they compete for charities of their choice.

The 2024 season of Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Channel 7 in about a week’s time. This is the show’s 21st season, and the tried true format will again be hosted by Sonia Kruger (who made her mark on the dancefloor back in the day as Tina Sparkle in Strictly Ballroom).
