Full Dancing With The Stars cast announced for 2024: Ben Cousins and Nadia Bartel set to hit our screens

He’s risen to stardom by getting recruits to dance to the beat of his drum on SAS: Australia. But how will Ant Middleton cope when the shoes on the other foot?

We’re about to find out, as he dons the sequins and takes to the floor as a competitor in this year’s Dancing With The Stars.

The Seven Network has unveiled the highly-anticipated star-studded cast and there are stacks of unexpected names.

As well as Middleton and previously announced West Coast Eagles favourite Ben Cousins, Better Homes and Gardens host Adam Dovile, Home and Away star James Stewart and celebrity chef Julie Goodwin will all be put through their paces.

Four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune is also slipping on her dancing shoes, along with former senator Nova Peris, singer Samantha Jade, AFL legend Shane Crawford, comedian Nikki Osbourne, plus influencer — and one-time WAG — Nadia Bartel.

The celebs will all be pushed out of their comfort zone to learn a new dance each week, putting their best foot forward for a chance to take home the show’s coveted mirror ball trophy.

Sonia Kruger will be joined in the hosting hot seat by Dr Chris Brown, with judges Craig Revel Horwood, Sharna Burgess, Helen Richey and Mark Wilson making on the judging panel.
