Dancing with the Stars (Australian TV series)
Dancing with the Stars has aired on the Seven Network since late 2004 and is hosted by Daniel MacPherson and Sonia Kruger. In late 2007, previous host Daryl Somers left the series after seven seasons. For the first seven seasons, there were four judges:

Helen Richey, former international Latin champion and one of the world's leading coaches and most sought after adjudicators.

Before the eighth season aired, Paul Mercurio was dropped from the judging panel. The series has won a Logie Award, and has been named one of the most successful television programs to air on Australian television. The show averages around 2 million viewers a week nationally across Australia. The program was made by the BBC in conjunction with Granada but since season eight, has been produced by Freehand. The most recent season commenced mid 2010. The Competition is backed by a live orchestra led by Chong Lim.
