In another reality TV coo for Channel 7 in 2021, Dancing With the Stars is returning to the network with an all-stars edition.
Joining Big Brother, The Voice, Australian Idol and Farmer Wants a Wife, the all toe-tapping, shoe-shuffling sparkly series is making a return after it was rebooted by Network Ten in 2019.
Seven’s original iteration aired between 2004 and 2016 and saw a host of celebrities twirl their way around the dancefloor.
The two-week television event sees former champions and fan favourites quick-stepping back onto the dancefloor for a second shot at the coveted mirror ball trophy.
Stars such as Ada Nicodemou, Bec Cartwright, Tom Williams, Grant Denyer, Kate Ceberano, Bridie Carter, Luke Jacobz, Manu Feildel and Johnny Ruffo all won the coveted disco ball statue, while other highlights included Rachel Finch finding love with her dance partner Mike Miziner and Chris Hemsworth, well, dancing.
With stars as big as these, it’s no wonder Seven wanted to start with a bang.
So, who is re-joining the cast this year?
Here is the cast of Dancing With the Stars: All Stars Australia 2021.
Tom Williams
Season 2 Champion, Tom Williams, will trade real estate for Rumba when he makes his way back into the ballroom with dance partner Alexandra Vladmirov.
