All Star series are essentially the catnip of reality TV. Bringing back the biggest names and most hated characters in a show’s history and putting them all in one setting makes for television gold.
WATCH: Dancing with the Stars All Stars trailer
We’ve seen it done on Australian Survivor, The Block, MasterChef, My Kitchen Rules, even Bachelor In Paradise can be considered an all-star spin-off of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
Few shows, however, have the extensive talent pool and long-running history as that of Dancing With The Stars.
They had a HEMSWORTH for crying out loud.
That star studded list of names to call upon is reason number one on our list of reasons we’re excited for the show’s 2021 All Stars edition.
Releasing a new trailer for the return Channel Seven confirmed the show will be a two week event.
The clip also shared footage of some of the biggest names to grace the dance floor, and it’s inspired us to create our own dream list of who we’d like to see return.
Chris Hemsworth
Clearly our first choice is, and was always going to be, Chris Hemsworth. Part of us can’t believe he actually made any kind of reality TV appearance at all, but before he made it big playing Thor, he was one of our most talented local stars. The Hollywood actor is currently in Australia, so you never know, dancing miracles may very well happen.
Celia Pacquola
We have a major girl crush on funny lady Celia Pacquola, so we’d love to see the 2020 champ return to defend her title.
Tom Williams
Who doesn’t want to see the TV presenter recreate his memorable shitless performance to You Can Leave Your Hat On?
Courtney Act
Courtney Act is a natural born performer and it’s safe to say the drag queen kept things interesting while on Dancing With The Stars. Many fans believed Courtney was “robbed” in the 2019 finale against Samuel Johnson – this could be a chance at redemption!
Chris Bath
When it comes to iconic DWTS moments, Chris Bath certainly takes the cake. Who could forget the performance where the news reader climbed up on her fake news desk, stripped down and jumped on the back of her partner’s motorbike?
Bec Hewitt (nee Cartwright)
We’ve been deprived of the former Home And Away star being on our screens for far too long! Give the people what they want.
Luke Jacobz
The Home And Away star is the first celeb rumoured to be confirmed for the All Stars edition (revealed by none other than So Dramatic! podcast). And we’re absolutely not mad about it.
Ada Nicodemou
Not only did Ada take out season three of the competition, she returned in 2005 to battle season two winner, Tom Williams for a Champion of Champions special event – and won! Could she make a comeback and take out yet another title?
Fifi Box
The popular radio host narrowly missed out on winning the title during her 2005 season, coming in second to singer Kate Ceberano, and we’d love to see her take a second shot at the title.
Anh Do
The Vietnamese-born Australian author, actor, comedian, and painter added dancing to his list of many talents surprising us all with his impressing moves in season seven of the show only to be beaten for the title by McLeod’s Daughters‘ Bridie Carter.
