Aussie TV star Osher Gunsberg went down swinging on Sunday's episode of Dancing With the Stars, hitting back at one of the show's judges after some savage critiques of his latest performance.
The former Bachelor host danced the tango to the David Bowie classic Fashion with his dance partner Sriani Argaet, a performance that got a universally frosty reception from the judging panel.
But judge Craig Revel Horwood was the harshest, declaring Gunsberg's tango a 'right royal mess' – a description that earned a fiery response from the contestant himself.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood didn't hold back.
… so neither did Osher.
'Would you like to try going down that perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You are more than welcome to show me how to do it,' Gunsberg told the judge – whose response was a shrugged 'that is not my job.'
' … but I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot and you're holding them – after you,' Gunsberg continued.
Horwood continued on, saying that Gunsberg's performance was 'completely erratic,' contained 'mistakes left right and centre,' and said in retrospect he should've tried to master a simpler routine.
That too drew a fiery response from Gunsberg.
'Where's the fun in trying something that's not really risky? You saw the dance I did last episode, Craig. I took big risks. You said to take big risks.'
'I would rather do it and have it not work and give it a shot.'
Osher had some fancy moves …
… but the judges were less than impressed.
Unfortunately, the risk didn't pay off: After receiving a lowly score of 15 from Horwood, Gunsberg ended up with a grand total of just 15 points, leaving him a distant last on the leaderboard. He and dance partner Argaet were eliminated from the competition, leaving four celeb contestants. Home and Away star Kyle Shilling, who received a perfect score of 40 in Sunday's episode, Felicity Ward, Mia Fevola and Shaun Micallef.
Gunsberg may have copped a battering from the judges on his way out of the competition, but it seems many viewers were on his side: Fans flooded an Insta post showing his final dance with supportive comments overnight.
'It was unfair for you to go tonight. You did a great job,' wrote one.
'Not gonna lie. I kinda cheered with Osher gave it back to Craig,' said another.

Queen Mary rushed indoors after shock moment during outing

Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON Queen Mary has been forced to cut short her appearance at a royal walkabout after a painful encounter. The Australian-born monarch, 53, was with her husband, King Frederik, 57, and two of their children – Princess Isabella, 18, and Prince Vincent, 14, greeting locals in Gråsten, Denmark as they kicked off their summer holiday. The Danish royal family were greeting local wellwishers.

Meanwhile, local media outlet Billed Bladet confirmed she appeared to be OK despite the ordeal. 'The queen certainly did not seem to be badly affected by the encounter with the stinging wasp, and she, together with the king, Isabella and Vincent, made sure to greet the many citizens who had gathered in the square,' the publication reported. The Danish royal family later settled into Gråsten Palace, their summer holiday home for the next few weeks. The outing marked the beginning of their summer holidays. Picture: Instagram It's been an intensely busy 18 months for the King and Queen who officially ascended the Danish throne on January 14 last year, after Frederik's mother, Queen Margrethe, abdicated and thus ended her 52-year reign. A short time later, the King released a book, co-authored by royal biographer Jens Anderson, revealing a surprising amount of personal details about the royal couple. 'I love marriage, my wife, our children and the whole happy base that arises for the people who manage to stay together and persevere,' he wrote. He described Mary as his 'partner and wing woman' and praised their 'super dynamic'. Originally published as Queen Mary rushed indoors after shock moment during outing

‘I've lost trust': Foreman Dan's heated clash with Block contestant

Don't miss out on the headlines from Reality. Followed categories will be added to My News. The Block's foreman Dan has declared he's 'lost trust' with one of this season's contestants, after a tense altercation just days into the competition. Dramas arose during Tuesday's episode of Nine's reno show, with all teams midway through their first room reveals of the season – bathrooms. But there is confusion from Dan and The Block's site manager when Han, one-half of West Australian couple Han and Can, explains that she'd helped apply a second 'working coat' of waterproofing to their bathroom, before the first coat had even dried. Han (left) was given a clear instruction by Dan (right): No waterproofing until their licensed waterproofer was back on site. Dan patiently explains that the coat won't be up to code, and that the girls' waterproofer will need to return to site to apply a proper second coat. When Han asks if she can get started before he arrives, Dan is firm: While she can assist if needed, a licensed wateproofer needs to be in control of the job. Cut to five minutes later, and cameras catch Han doing exactly as she was instructed not to – forging ahead with the waterproofing herself. News travels fast on The Block, and soon Dan is back at house two, this time visibly incensed. Dan catches her in the act – and he's not happy. 'What are you doing? You can't be waterproofing,' he tells her. 'I just asked you, like, five minutes ago: You're not allowed to waterproof. If I give you an instruction, you can't disobey it.' Dan declares he's 'lost trust' in Han for what he sees as a clear attempt to go behind his back: 'You're not a licensed waterproofer; you're not allowed to waterproof. You're allowed to help waterproof, if the waterproofer is in there.' Han (left) and partner Can. A tearful Han gets comforted by her partner. Soon he's on the phone to the site manager to report the infraction. But a tearful Han insists that she didn't mean to disobey Dan's instructions – in her first week on The Block, she says she's feeling overwhelmed and finding it hard to absorb all the new information and building site rules. 'Dan shut me down … told me that I wasn't allowed to touch anything. He thought I was being dodgy … that hit hard,' she says. 'I'm disappointed in myself, because I didn't listen … I'm really trying. I feel like I just got told off by my parents,' a tearful Han says as her partner Can rushes to comfort her. He might've had a stern word, but it seems Dan is a slightly softer touch than The Block's previous foreman Keith: Han and Can receive no penalty for this week-one rule-break.
