Laura Byrne rehearses for new season of Dancing with the Stars
Laura Byrne knocks her dance partner to the floor in spectacular misstep as she rehearses for the new season of Dancing with the Stars – after admitting she’s ‘so unbelievably bad’ at the sport
Laura Byrne is kicking her heels on the upcoming season of Channel Seven’s Dancing With the Stars.
But the KIIS FM star got in trouble during rehearsals this week when she made a misstep that sent her dance partner Danil Saveliev tumbling.
The 35-year-old former Bachelor star shared a video on Instagram of the funny moment where she slapped Danil instead of wrapping her arms around him, sending the poor man sprawling to the floor.
“The Cha Cha’s been a real hit,” she joked in her caption alongside the video.
It comes after Laura squealed with delight when she announced the news that she would be appearing in the reality show to her co-hosts Brittany Hockley and Mitch Churi on their show, The pickup earlier this month.

Laura said she was practicing 25 hours a week to get her moves right for the ratings, which is currently in pre-production and will air later this year.
“I trained my absolute a**e, my a**e is literally gone, look how flat it is,” she told her co-hosts, adding, “I’ve got nothing left on me.”
The mother-of-two, meanwhile, admitted that her dancing skills require quite a bit of work.
“I’m so unbelievably bad that I look like a baby giraffe just born. Or like a praying mantis or stick insect when they’re about to move forward and go back and forth before moving.”
Laura said fans can look forward to seeing the former reality star do the jive, with high kicks, in the new season.

The TV personality said her dance partner was a 21-year-old drill sergeant who has never done DWTS but is “desperate to win.”
Daily Mail Australia revealed earlier this month that the 2023 series will feature a new line-up of judges and contestants who have not yet been seen on the dance floor.
Sources close to production have revealed that Season 20 will not be an All-Stars series as previously reported, but will showcase a new mix of talent.
Sonia Kruger and Daryl Somers will both return as hosts.
Kym Johnson, who previously appeared as a judge between 2013 and 2015, is tipped to return to the series and has been spotted in and out of encounters with Seven.
Australian actress and ex-wife of Sean Penn, Leila George, is a strong contender to star this season, while actress and singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte is also tipped to join the lineup.
