Get your dancing shoes ready – Dancing with the Stars Australia is finally back for 2024.
From reality TV winners to sporting superstars, this year’s dancefloor will see 12 famous faces take to the stage for their chance at taking home the Mirrorball Trophy.
While some of the stars may deliver a terrific tango, not every contestant will take home full marks from the judging panel, with our favourite celebrities dancing it out for their final shot to stay in the competition.
With some stars rising to the top of the dance-off, others will sadly be asked to leave the stage.
Scroll down to find out who has left Dancing with the Stars Australia 2024 so far.
Who has left Dancing with the Stars Australia 2024?
Shane Crawford
Heading into the semi-final, Shane Crawford and his partner Ash-Leigh Hunter were ready to bring the fun to the dancefloor with the Victorian-era quickstep.
Despite scoring a relatively high score of 30, Shane was forced to face off against James Stewart and Adam Doville for the final spot in the grand finale.
While he may have brought the passion to his dance-off, Shane’s performance sadly did not secure him his shot at the Mirrorball Trophy.
Adam Dovile
Bringing the fire to the dancefloor, Adam Doville and his partner Jess Rafa dazzled the audience with their rendition of the rumba.
While Jess may have excitedly shared that “she’s never been able to dance like that on the show,” their passionate performance received the second-lowest score of the night.
Taking to the dance-off for their place in the finale, the pair gave it their all however, James’ impressive charleston was enough to secure the last remaining place in the grand finale.
Ben Cousins
Pulling out all the stops for their last shot at the finale, Ben Cousins and Siobhan Power took to the floor with an intense Argentine tango.
Despite delivering the theatrical elements of the dance, the judges agreed that Ben’s technique was not up to scratch, receiving the lowest score of the night at 17.
Nova Peris
Returning to the Dancing with the Stars stage for another week, Olympian Nova Peris delved deep into her disco era, performing a fun-filled chacha.
While she may have brought some joy to the dancefloor, the judges were critical of her technique, placing her and her partner Craig Moloney with the lowest score of 19.
With no dance-off to help them regain their place in the competition, the pair were sadly sent home.
Julie Goodwin
After being taken out of the early stage of the competition due to injury, Julie made a triumphant comeback to the dancefloor.
Taking to the stage with her foxtrot, the former MasterChef Australia star dazzled both the audience and the judges, with the panel being quick to praise her passionate performance.
Despite being awarded a mid-range score of 27, the pair found themselves in the bottom two, with a double elimination sadly sending Julie and her partner Andrey Gorbunov home.
Hayden Quinn
Hayden Quinn was the second contestant to be eliminated this season after losing a dance-off to comedian Nikki Osborne.
Despite finishing in the middle of the pack, both Hayden and Nikki were placed in the bottom two, as the studio audience backed Nova Peris and Shane Crawford.
While Hayden’s Rumba was significantly better than his last dance, his sensual and rhythmic performance earned him 27 points – but it wasn’t enough to keep him in the competition.
Nadia Bartel
Following her tango performance to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face, Nadia and her partner Lyu Masuda sadly found themselves in the bottom two, with judge Craig Revel Horwood describing their performance as “Very, very weak.”
Taking on the judge’s critiques, Nadia and Lyu returned to the dancefloor in their final dance-off against Ben Cousins and his partner Siobhan, with the duo performing an elegant waltz across the ballroom.
Despite impressing their harshest critic Craig, the remainder of the judging panel voted to keep Ben in the competition, making Nadia the first of the celebrity stars to depart the dancefloor.
Speaking on her elimination, Nadia told the audience, “I just love doing hard things, and this has been hard for me. It’s been so great and I’ve had an incredible dance partner. It’s been nice to try something new.”
