Dancing With The Stars delivers elimination shock as audience-voted twist sees Aussie icon sent home

The curtains have closed for yet another beloved, big-named Aussie celebrity on Dancing With The Stars. After a special episode celebrating the kings and queens of song and dance, TV royalty was sent packing with a paso doble that lacked enough punch for the audience. Rebecca Gibney danced for the last time on the Channel 7 show on Sunday, earning 28 points as she took to the floor to Whitney Houston 's Queen of the Night. Judge Mark Wilson was pleasantly surprised by the Gold Logie winner's improvement since her last performance, however, pointed out that she lacked paso body shapes, which ultimately put her at peril on the leaderboard. The Bachelor 's Brittany Hockley had temperatures rising in a steamy tango to Kylie Minogue 's Padam Padam, scoring herself 33 points and a big hoorah from the judges. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Mark was so impressed by Brittany's quick adaptation to the ballroom style that he gave her his royal wand of approval. However, it was boxing star Harry Garside that floored Judge Sharna Burgess as he performed a sexy rumba to John Farnham's A Touch of Paradise in a half-buttoned silk shirt. His hard work, dedication and sensuality on the dance floor earned him kudos with Sharna and 25 points on the board, but Craig Revel Horwood wasn't as impressed, adding that he felt his dancing was disconnected. 7NEWS presenter Michael Usher was the picture of grace as he suited up and took on the Viennese waltz to Adele's One and Only. Earning a solid score of 29, Craig praised Michael for bringing class to a known-to-be-tricky dance format. Helen Richey had audience members blushing as she flirted with AFL icon Trent Cotchin, who was Elvis for the night in a rocking and rolling Jive. Donning his own blue suede shoes and a sparkly blazer to match, Trent topped the leaderboard with 35 points after all four judges were left in awe over his performance. Even hard-to-please Craig gushed that he 'loved it', which no doubt elicited a nation-wide gasp.

Much to his relief - as well as judge Sharna's - Harry was lifted from rock bottom of the leaderboard, and we instead said goodbye to Rebecca. The Flying Doctors alum thanked her dance partner Ian Waite for an unforgettable experience on the show, while raving about the magic behind the scenes of the series. 'The amount of work that goes into this show. The costumes are amazing and the makeup is amazing,' she gushed. 'Everyone from the judges, the production crew and everyone behind the scenes – it's mindboggling how extraordinary everyone is and I'm going to miss it,' she admitted. Last week, another celebrity twirled off the Dancing With The Stars dance floor for good. In a surprise twist, TV presenter Karina Carvalho was sent home, becoming the second contestant to be eliminated from the hit Channel Seven competition. Dancing With The Stars continues on Seven on Monday at 7.30pm

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan gets stuck into a new sport as the Bulldogs star ramps up training in his bid to return to footy

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been hard at work getting his body back into top condition as he looks to make a comeback to the footy pitch. The Western Bulldogs forward has been taking an extended leave of absence as he works his way through personal issues away from the footy pitch. The former No 1 draft pick had sparked concerns earlier this season after appearing at training only sporadically, while also not featuring for the Bulldogs this season. It also appears that his time at the Whitten Oval could be coming to an end, with Channel 9 reporter Tom Morris claiming that the 23-year-old wants to play for the Sydney Swans next season. It had previously been revealed that Ugle-Hagan was set to travel north of Melbourne to undertake a wellness retreat and last week, the Bulldogs star forward gave fans an update on how he was progressing as he looked to make his return to footy. He published several images of himself training in Byron in a 'Rocky '-style montage. Ugle-Hagan has been in Sydney working with a personal trainer and posted an update of himself also doing reformer pilates The footy star has published several updates on how he's been working on his fitness as he looks to make a comeback to the pitch He was seen running up a steep hill, while also working with personal trainer, Byron Bay Boxing, sparring and skipping in the gym. He also issued a post of himself training with Aussie Olympic boxer, Harry Garside. On Sunday, he gave followers another insight into some of the work he's been doing away from the footy field, showing himself and several others doing reformer pilates. Reformer pilates offers a multitude of health benefits, with many professional athletes using the sport to help them increase their core strength and improve their flexibility. Ugle-Hagan also published several other images of himself in the gym and at the Legends Gym in Sydney. Meanwhile, Luke Beveridge has issued a defiant statement to any clubs looking to poach the Bulldogs' leading goalscorer for 2024. The senior coach recognised some of the efforts that Ugle-Hagan was putting in away from the Whitten Oval as a 'great sign' for the team, before extinguishing speculation that the club were going to allow the 23-year-old to leave. 'You take any speculation regards to any player with a grain of salt, the way we approach it - he's our player,' he said during a press conference last week. 'We will do our best to work out what's right from him and look after him. I've got no thoughts that he won't be here next year. 'I think we need to keep an open mind about his prosperity and his future. 'I'm taking that as a positive, hopefully he is. As I said, with the new challenges to going away and focusing on his own mental wellbeing in his life journey. 'Hopefully, he's got some things in a bit more an order and that can propel him into his footy at some point - when that is, who knows, that might be a fair way away.'

'I'm worried Harry Garside will punch me in the mouth': dirty dancing threat

Dancing With The Stars is back on Seven from Sunday, June 15, with 12 new celebrities ready to rhumba. And, according to at least one contestant, maybe also rumble. The line-up for the new season is: Micallef, former host of Mad as Hell and Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation, says he has long felt that his "true calling" was dance but he sees Harry Garside as his biggest threat on Dancing With The Stars. What are your dancing strengths? "There are really too many to list. The real question should be: is there a dance that can accommodate all my skills? My answer to that would be 'no way'." Any fears going into the show? "I have always been afraid of ghosts and this fear is still with me. I'm worried Seven will show old sketches featuring me on Full Frontal - a sketch show from the '90s - and I'll get cancelled." What will you get out of the experience? "Beating Rebecca Gibney will be enough for me. Beating everybody else as well is just the icing on the cake." How will you cope with criticism from the judges? "You mean how will I cope with all their unalloyed praise? I'll take it in my stride, I'm sure. It may get a little embarrassing week after week but that's their problem." What's something we don't know about you that might surprise your fans? "I think the only thing that will surprise anybody is that I have fans. It will surprise me anyway. After all, I've been on the ABC for the last 12 years." Who's your biggest threat in the show? "Harry Garside. I'm worried he will punch me in the mouth. Actually, I'm worried Felicity Ward will punch me in the mouth too." How would you psych yourself up before you step onto the dance floor? "I remind myself that I started my TV career at Seven 30 years ago and that, with Dancing With The Stars, I'm probably going to end it there too. With nothing to lose, I'm just going to relax and enjoy myself." Dancing With The Stars is back on Seven from Sunday, June 15, with 12 new celebrities ready to rhumba.

‘No! What the f***?': Harry Garside wins comeback fight in huge drama

Harry Garside has made a seriously impressive return to professional boxing, winning his comeback fight via a controversial stoppage win on Wednesday night. Taking on Queenslander Charlie bell in a six-round lightweight fight at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion, Garside threw haymakers from the opening bell in an impressive display as he dominated the bout. UFC 316: Dvalishvili vs O'Malley 2 | SUN 8 JUN 12PM AEST | Bantamweight champ Dvalishvili faces UFC superstar O'Malley in a highly anticipated rematch less than a year after their first encounter | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports. Garside connected with some straight jabs in the first round and looked like he might end the fight with a knockout inside the first three minutes as he connected hard on bell. Long, nasty gashes opened up around the eyes of both fighters in the opening round but the cuts were patched up well. Garside rocked Bell with a barrage of punches in the third round, but the coal miner from Moranbah somehow hung in there and managed to go the distance. Referee Les Fear inquired about the fight being stopped after the fourth round, but Bell's trainer and father was having none of it in their corner. But brutal scenes between the fifth and final round, the referee stopped the fight, telling Bell while he was sitting on his stool that he wasn't throwing enough punches. 'No, you've been hit too much, you haven't won a round,' Fear said. 'Sit down Charlie, that's enough. That's it.' A furious Bell said: 'What? What? No! F*** off, no! What the f***,' he said. Bell's crowd of supporters booed when the TKO decision was read out. Watch the controversial stoppage in the video above On Main Event commentary, Tim Tszyu said: 'I think Charlie Bell deserved to continue on. I don't think he was ever really hurt. He's an Aussie warrior, I feel like it could have continued. 'You can see by his facial expressions, he wanted to finish the fight. I guess the referee is trying to protect him, but I don't know. 'Harry was landing some really clean shots.' Main Event commentator Ben Damon said: 'Clearly the coalminer from Moranbah didn't want to be pulled out of the fight. He would have gone another 10 if they asked him to.' In somewhat anticlimactic scenes, Garside came to centre ring and consoled Bell, with the two fighters embracing. The result takes Garside's professional boxing record to 4-0 and was the perfect start to his question to become world champion. The Courier Mail's Peter Badel said Garside possesses 'the fastest jab in Australian boxing', but added: 'The jury is still out on whether he has the power to really put someone away.' Garside, 27, burst onto the amateur boxing scene by winning a bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, going on to represent Australia at the Tokyo Olympics before turning pro. Garside won his first three fights as a professional before returning to the amateurs, mounting a quest to win Olympic gold. He fell short of that goal at last year's Paris Olympics and was emotional after a disappointing result — now he was returned to pro boxing once again. In the main event fight on Wednesday, super bantamweight Sam Goodman defeated Mexico's Cesar Vaca Espinoza via unanimous decision (99-92, 99-91, 100-90) to take his record to 20-0. It was a welcome return to the ring for Goodman after his world title fight against Japan's Naoya Inoue was called off after the Aussie sustained multiple cuts in training.
