Australia’s most loved TV host Grant Denyer may soon be without a show to front once again, after it was reported Dancing with the Stars has been axed.

Grant, 43, was announced as the host of the celebrity ballroom dancing competition alongside Amanda Keller back in 2018.
Sadly, this isn’t the first time one of Grant’s shows have been canned unexpectedly.

International dancer and DWTS judge Tristan MacManus joined Sarah Harris on the Studio 10 couch back in September.
