Dancing with the Stars 2024 line-up REVEALED: Sonia Kruger and new host Chris Brown unveil celebrity cast in new promo

The official cast for Dancing with the Stars 2024 has been revealed in a promo video shared on the show’s official Instagram over the weekend.

The clip showed new presenter Chris Brown teaming up with his co-presenter Sonia Kruger as the pair drove around in a car called the ‘star catcher’, looking for celebrities to kidnap for the show.

One of the stars featured in the promo was AFL legend Ben Cousins, who has long been rumored to be participating.

The 45-year-old football star, who has spent the last few years rebuilding his life after a fall from grace, explained that part of his redemption arc will include reality TV.

Next up was four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune, another long-time part of the series.

Another much-loved star – MasterChef Australia fan favorite Julie Goodwin – appeared next in the promo which caused a storm.

“Life is too short to say no to something like this,” Goodwin told The Daily Telegraph.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could dance,” she continued

“I’ve always enjoyed watching the show and watching people dance, but it never occurred to me that one day I might be able to do it too.”

Comedian Nikki Osborne appeared in the promo, as did Better Homes and Gardens host Adam Dovile.

Olympian and former senator Nova Peris was also seen jogging in the video, before singer Samantha Jade sang a tune.

Home and Away’s James Stewart was seen jogging along the beach before chef Hayden Quinn showed up.

Former AFL WAG fashion designer Nadia Bartel worked out her angles in a photoshoot in the promotional video.

They joined AFL legend Shane Crawford and SAS Australia’s Ant Middleton, who slid into the frame on a rope.

This year’s stars are currently rehearsing.

Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Channel Seven later this year.

Dr. Chris Brown replaced long-serving presenter Daryl Somers as co-host of Dancing With The Stars Australia.

Fans are already impressed with Brown and Kruger’s on-camera chemistry after the pair co-hosted the TV Week Logie Awards.

Brown was rumored to co-host DWTS with Kruger last year, but according to The Sunday Telegraph, he missed the opportunity due to a “miscalculation” over his contract.

TV bosses were ‘forced to extend invitation to Somers’ after misjudging Brown’s start date at Channel Seven.

Brown officially joined Seven in July last year – which was too late for the show’s producers, BBC Studios, to start filming.
