Fans furious after Osher Günsberg's fiery Dancing With The Stars meltdown: 'Check your ego'
Now, fans are taking to the social sphere to slam the Australian TV host's behaviour on screen, as well as his ability to dance.
'WTF was that attitude from Osher? The judges are there to give you constructive criticism, you think you danced amazingly and you just didn't, mate. Check your ego bro,' one viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another similarly chimed in: 'Osher is kinda annoying stop fighting with the judges.'
One person saw his outburst as a sure nail in the coffin of his DWTS journey: 'Well, I guess Osher's a goner tonight, unless the audience take great pity on him.'

Other fans of the show pointed out that Osher was never good enough on the dance floor to warrant his behaviour.
'Thank goodness Osher's out. He was voted to stay the first couple of weeks due to his popularity, but the man can't dance,' one person penned.
Another added: 'Osher seems to have trouble accepting reality, he's just a bad dancer.'
However, there were a few fans of The Bachelor host who raced to his defence.
'I don't think Osher has ever said he could dance. He is giving it a go and Craig is just downright rude,' one person levelled.
Another person wrote: 'Poor Osher, he's trying so hard but he's just not good.'
The fan favourite was shown the exit door during a heated episode of Dancing With the Stars on Sunday.
Taking to the ballroom with a Tango routine backed by David Bowie 's 1980 hit Fashion, the TV host put in a feverish performance that failed to impress the judges.

Taking his cue from the evening's 'Kings and Queens of song' theme, judge Craig Revel Horwood did not mince words when delivering his verdict.
'Well, that was a right royal mess! I don't know what that step was, coming down the ramp, darling, but it was fumbled...' Craig began, but a furious Osher interrupted.
Visibly annoyed, Osher snapped, 'Would you like to try going down that Perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You're more than welcome to show me.'
He continued to rage: 'But I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot kicking, and you're holding their momentum against you. After you!'
Craig seemed taken aback by the fiery exchange, replying to a fuming Osher, 'That is not my job.'
He then continued on with his critique despite the tense atmosphere, which had host Sonia Kruger visibly shocked.
'It was completely erratic,' Craig said, after dismissing Osher's remarks.
Craig told the frustrated TV personality, 'You were making mistakes left, right and centre.'
Fellow judge Mark Wilson did offer Osher some words of encouragement, telling him that he admired his determination to improve his dancing skills.
However, the final score was a dismal 15 points, and Osher was sent home.

Sex and the City star Gilles Marini says it's time for And Just Like That 'to go'
Former Sex and The City star Gilles Marini is siding with viewers who think the spinoff And Just Like That should end. The 49-year-old French actor's breakout role was in the 2008 Sex and the City movie, in which he portrayed Dante, a lusted-after neighbor of Kim Cattrall 's character Samantha Jones. Speaking with the US Sun this week, he said about the HBO spinoff, 'Everything takes its time. It goes up, and then it goes down. We have to know and understand when it's time to go.' He suggested, 'Maybe taking the side of one of the characters and having this history behind of Sex and The City, but making something so clearly different.. somebody else come in with something new, you know? Really fresh, like the storyline has to be completely shattered.' Marini noted that the show could stand to be more relatable: 'And something that is meaningful nowadays. Everybody loved this show because everybody could relate. Let's have a show where really everyone can relate a little bit [more].' Fans of And Just Like That season 3 were left furious following episode eight last week, and accused the show's main characters of competing for 'biggest dummy.' The episode, called Happily Ever After, saw Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) reunite with boyfriend Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) nearly relapse on alcohol. While aware of fans' critiques of the show, he said he'd like to hear from viewers who aren't familiar with Sex And the City. And despite his thoughts on the changes the new show should make, he said he would not be opposed to taking a role on the series. 'If I got the call… I'd run to it. Absolutely. I think one of the most amazing things that I had the chance to do in my life was Sex And The City,' he told the outlet. Gilles also address Cattrall's decision not to return to the small screen as Samantha. 'To each their own. Sometimes people want to start something, and then when they're done, they're done with it. 'At the end of it, look at the career she has, I mean, everything she's done. She doesn't need [anything]. It's her decision, of course,' he reasoned. He acknowledged the opportunities that appearing in the movie have afforded him. The hunky stat reflected, 'Michael Patrick King, the director of the film, he said, "Listen, when the movie comes out, your life will never be the same and your phone will never stop ringing." And I'm like, why? Why is he saying that? And now I know why he said that.' Marini began his career working as a baker and a fireman before moving to the United States to begin a modeling career. After the success of the Sex And the City film, he was invited to participate in the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars. He earned a runner-up position alongside partner Cheryl Burke and was invited back for the fifteenth season, placing sixth. On Monday, July 21 he paid tribute to former Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who drowned in Costa Rica on Sunday at age 54. Sharing a photo of them, he wrote, 'He was a light in so many lives, kind, thoughtful, and full of spirit. 'It's hard to believe he's gone. I'll always remember the moments we shared, the laughter, the talks, and the quiet understanding. 'My deepest condolences to his family, his loved ones, and everyone who was lucky enough to know him. May his memory be a blessing and may he rest in peace.'

Love Island's Harrison hits back at Women's Aid amid backlash over villa actions
Former Love Island star Harrison Solomon has spoken out after he was criticised by fans for his behaviour in the villa amid a love triangle with Toni Laites and Lauren Wood Former Love Island contestant Harrison Solomon has spoken out about the criticism he faced from viewers. The islander had come under fire from fans during a complicated love triangle involving co-stars Toni Laites and Lauren Wood whilst in the villa. The 22-year-old attracted attention on the ITV2 show for what he deemed as a "back-and-forth" between his romantic connections with Toni, 24, and Lauren, 26. This included him sleeping with Lauren whilst separated from Toni, then urging Toni to choose him at the next recoupling. Following his recoupling with Toni, footballer Harrison proceeded to get to know Lauren once again, the Mirror reports. Lauren was dumped from the villa last week after she was left single when bombshell Angel chose to couple up with her partner Ty, and Harrison later left to reunite with her. Throughout his appearance on the show, Harrison faced criticism from audiences. Last week, during his Love Island journey, a Women's Aid representative released a statement to the Tab, referencing women being "lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated, as well as laughed at behind their backs." Harrison has now addressed the "backlash" in an interview with the Daily Mail, explaining that he found it "hard to digest." He told the publication: "I would disagree with a lot of it in terms of my respect for women, I do respect women." He described the response from Women's Aid as the "worst." He said: "I know myself and the girls on the show too, Toni said she knows I'm not a bad person, just went about situations in the wrong way, but the Women's Aid statement wasn't nice ... it's not nice coming out of the villa to my mum upset by that so I would say that's been the hardest." Harrison expressed remorse, saying he is "sorry" to the women he has "hurt" and admitted, "I got it wrong." He acknowledged that the "back and forth" between his relationships with Lauren and Toni ultimately caused "more harm" than he had intended. However, he insisted it wasn't driven by ego. The former Island said he isn't proud of the way he handled things inside the villa and won't "make excuses." Harrison stated that he simply wants to "own it" and pledged: "If people can give me the space to grow from it, I will do everything I can to be better, and that's the only thing I can do." Harrison pointed out that there's "no handbook" for dealing with being on a reality TV show, like Love Island, saying it is based on "instincts" and "intentions." He admitted to the Daily Mail that while he got "some of it right" he also "got a lot of it wrong." It's been suggested that the statement by Women's Aid particularly upset Harrison due to his relationship with his mother and younger sister. He told the outlet that he prides himself on "standing up for women," as well as being a "protector," but is "disappointed" over how he handled himself in the villa. His comments come just days after viewers saw Harrison quit the show, just a day after Lauren was dumped from the villa. Prior to his exit, an emotional Harrison offered an apology to Toni. He told her before leaving: "I want you to know that I genuinely am sorry for the way that I've treated you in here. [...] I think with me being indecisive in here and trying to spare people's feelings, I feel like I've hurt yours more." Harrison said: "Deep down, you know I've got a good heart but I've just not gone about things the right way in here." Toni went on say: "I know you're not a bad person but you've got a big head and you treated me like s**t repeatedly." He replied: "I know, I'm sorry for that."

‘There's no rules!' A day out on an adult school trip
Ah, the school trip. Long bus journeys, packed lunches and a chance to escape the shackles of the day-to-day routine. It has been a good 18 years since I last went on an excursion of this kind, but this weekend I've signed up for my own school trip of sorts: an adult day out with the First Timers Club (FTC). Instead of a teacher, it's led by Penny Jordan, 30, who founded FTC in 2023 with two friends. What started as a way to try out new experiences soon blossomed into a collective of like-minded people in Melbourne, with a social media following of roughly 30,000 and chapters in Sydney and London. Welcoming everyone, Jordan delivers news that any school child would be ecstatic to hear: 'There's no rules today … Just have fun!' We've met in Melbourne's inner north and are heading to Phillip Island for the annual Island Whale festival, a celebration of the majestic creatures timed to coincide with their migration from Antarctica to warmer waters in the north. While the stated aim of the trip is to glimpse some whales, most people are here to find something else: connection with others. About three quarters of those attending today are at their first event. 'It's nice to try new activities that I wouldn't normally do solo. And having it all organised while meeting new people really takes the mental load out of it,' says Julia Caissutti, 30, who has been to several FTC events. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Once on the coach I get talking with a lovely woman named Steph. Despite a distinct lack of caffeine and it being not long after 8am, chatter buzzes around us. It's a sharp contrast to the tram I took to the meeting point, where everyone was buried in their own worlds, barely making eye contact. About an hour into the journey, we stop at Caldermeade Farm for a toilet break. At this point, it really does feel like a school trip: walking around petting farm animals, I feel as if I've regressed about 25 years – not necessarily a bad thing. After we leave the farm, the school comparisons end. We arrive in Phillip Island, dappled by the soft winter sun, and Jordan welcomes the group, gives us some background information, then invites us to go off and explore the town of Cowes unsupervised. Left to roam free, I hang out with a group I got chatting to at the farm. We visit the stalls in the festival hub, then have lunch on the foreshore and try to spot some whales. Despite recent sightings, we don't have much luck, but the chat is more than enough entertainment. I'm struck by everyone's warmth and friendliness. 'Trying to meet new people as an adult is hard,' says Ben Paz, 27. 'Usually if you join a community it can feel like it's already set and you're coming into their space. With this, everyone's on equal ground. It's so inclusive.' Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Later, I catch up with Jordan and ask how it's going. 'I have to remind myself everyone's an adult, they'll just go off and do their own thing,' she says. 'Everyone who comes to these events is just so up for anything.' That's what strikes me as special about this day. I'll admit I had preconceptions about what the day would be like and who would attend. Although almost a quarter of Australians say they want to make new friends, people who are actively looking for friends still conjure up a less than favourable image: awkward or shy types. This group is the exact opposite: a self-selecting congregation who are willing to give up a day of their time to make new connections. Those with less commitment to the cause are absent, and the result is akin to a warm hug. After lunch we stop at another whale viewing point, once again to no avail. But on the bus back to Melbourne no one feels cheated by the lack of marine life. The day has met the brief. Many of us exchange contact details and hatch plans to go to an event independent of FTC next month. Almost everyone I speak to says they plan to attend another First Timers event as well. I'd happily join them. Like whales, we've formed a pod. The journalist attended as a guest of Visit Victoria
