Dancing with the Stars Australia is set to return to screens in 2021.

The show, which was dropped by Channel 10 and is moving to Seven, will feature contenders from past seasons.

According to The Daily Telegraph, a Home and Away actor and a My Kitchen Rules star are in contract negotiations.

‘A lot of people put their hands up wanting to dust off their dancing shoes,’ a source told the publication.

‘Some contracts are yet to be signed,’ the insider added.

Some suggested stars include past winners Bec Hewitt, Ada Nicodemou, and Grant Denyer.

Possible appearances from former contestants such as Chris Hemsworth, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Nikki Webster and Pauline Hanson could be on the slate, too.

Daryl Sommers, 69, who hosted the show between 2004 and 2007 alongside Sonia Kruger, 55, is also reportedly returning to the show. 

The trailer also confirmed the reboot will air over two weeks.

In October, Channel 10 confirmed that Dancing with the Stars will not be returning in 2021.

Dancing with the Stars originally aired from 2004 to 2015 on Channel Seven, before moving to Channel 10 in 2019 with new hosts Grant Denyer and Amanda Keller.

While it wasn’t a ratings flop for 10 – its 2020 finale was watched by a respectable 635,000 viewers.

However the numbers didn’t justify the budget required to produce a weekly live broadcast complete with celebrity salaries.

TV Blackbox reported this week that Channel Seven bough the rights to air the show in 2021.
