Dancing With The Stars is back for another year on Network Ten, with a whole new crop of stars set to put on their dancing shoes.
Hosted by Grant Denyer and Amanda Keller and returning to Sunday nights from February 9, the competition pushes Aussie celebrities outside their comfort zone as they do their best to dance up a storm.
After Samuel Johnson’s win in 2019, the new cast have big shoes to fill.
The popular actor, 41, took out the DWTS title and the glittering disco ball trophy in last year’s grand finale, beating out runner-up Courtney Act and second runner-up Constance Hall.
Meet the hot new DWTS cast for 2020.

Scroll on to see the new cast for 2020.
Angie Kent
Angie Kent
That’s right, the former Bachelorette herself is strapping on her dancing shoes and coming back onto our TV screens this year, after enjoying some much-needed couple time with her new beau Carlin Sterritt. Just quietly, we have an inkling that Angie is going to be a total natural at this dancing thing!
Claudia Karvan
Claudia Karvan
The critically acclaimed actress from the hit shows The Secret Life of Us and Love My Way is stepping outside her comfort zone and starring in her first reality TV show, on DWTS.
Ed Kavalee
Ed Kavalee
This radio and TV funnyman – you might recognise him from Have You Been Paying Attention? – and the #SecretlyBuff husband of former The Biggest Loser trainer Tiffiny Hall is ready to strut his stuff live on TV.
Celia Pacquola
Celia Pacquola
If you haven’t yet heard of Celia, you’re missing out. This hilarious actress and comedian (fans of ABC’s Rosehaven and Utopia will know all about her genius comic timing) never misses a beat when it comes to her comedy, but will she have the same rhythm on the dance floor?
Chloe Lattanzi
Chloe Lattanzi
Chloe, an American singer and actress, is the daughter of Aussie icon Olivia Newton-John and actor Matt Lattanzi, who split in 1995.
The 33-year-old is open about her rocky past – she has been treated for alcohol and cocaine addiction and has undergone numerous plastic surgery procedures, rumoured to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Will she be able to put that behind her and focus in the moment? We can’t wait to find out.
Dean Wells
Dean Wells
The controversial MAFS star has jumped networks across from Channel Nine and will be hoping to prove he’s got more to offer than just scandalous headlines and relationship drama.
Travis Cloke
Travis Cloke
This former AFL star played for both Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs during his 12-year career. Will he be as good on the dance floor as he is on the footy field? You’ll have to tune in and see.
Dami Im
Dami Im
This Korean-born singer-songwriter won the fifth season of The X Factor Australia and has since gone on to dominate the pop charts, as well as representing Australia in Eurovision in 2016, coming second overall. While her job title is technically singer, some dance is required in Dami’s role – so perhaps she has a little advantage over her fellow contestants!
Christian Wilkins
Christian Wilkins (pictured left, with dad Richard Wilkins)
As the endlessly entertaining son of Today’s entertainment guru Richard Wilkins, Christian certainly isn’t afraid of the spotlight. He recently quit working in the fashion department at Channel Nine and has made a name for himself thanks to his daring red-carpet looks and hilariously candid Instagram account (do yourself a favour and give him a follow). We cannot wait to see what sort of fabulous costumes Christian dons this season!
Beau Ryan
Beau Ryan
Beau Ryan is the king of reinvention. The former NRL player has carved out a successful radio and TV hosting career for himself after football, including fronting big prime-time shows like The Footy Show and Amazing Race. But his colourful personal life away from the cameras often gets him into trouble. We can’t wait to see a whole new side of Beau on DWTS this year.
