Dancing With The Stars will be returning to Channel 10 in a few weeks, and now Karl Stefanovics ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn has confirmed she will be competing on the latest season.
On Wednesday, 47-year-old confirmed she will be waltzing her way onto our screens very soon, and revealed the very emotional reason behind her decision.
Speaking with The Herald Sun Cassie revealed she decided to sign on to the show after speaking with her late father, Max.
The former journalist told the publication: “It was one of the last conversations I had with my dad before he passed away,
“(He told me) If you said no … you will regret it one day.”
Dancing With The Stars won’t be Thorburn’s first excursion into the world of television.
Cassie has previously worked as a reporter with the ABC and made appearances on The Morning Show and Studio 10.
On Tuesday, entertainment reporter Peter Ford spoke on The Kyle & Jackie O Show and revealed a list the names of the people he believes will be joining the cast.
As well as Thorburn, Ford claims celebrity trainer Michelle Bridges, Samuel Johnson, actress Olympia Valance, comedian Denise Scott and blogger Constance Hall will be among the new faces to hit our screens.
In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, a Network 10 spokesperson confirmed that several of the names Ford mentioned are correct.
The spokesperson said: “Good try! There are some correct names on that list but you haven’t quite got them all.”
