The glamour, excitement and magic of the ballroom is back with the new series of the smash hit variety show DANCING WITH THE STARS.

This seventh series will showcase the fancy footwork of ten diverse stars from the world of sport, comedy, acting, journalism and opera through a live ballroom dancing competition.

All have the drive and motivation but do they have the dancing skill?

The ten celebrities taking to the dance-floor this season are:

DARYL SOMERS returns as host, with co-host SONIA KRUGER again bringing you all the excitement from backstage. Each week one couple will be voted off by a combination of votes from viewers and the judges.
