Ricki-Lee is also filmed expressing her fears about “hanging from the roof” of the main stage, followed by Kylie Gillies attempting a complicated lift with her dance partner.

Backstage ahead of their first show, Grant Denyer remarks that he doesn’t know if he’s ready, while Rob Mills says that “everyone’s been incredible”.

After a montage of epic performances from the show’s upcoming premiere, judge Todd McKenny declares that this season will showcase “the highest quality of dancers we have had on any series”.

Seven Network Programming Director, Angus Ross, said in a statement: “The first season of All Stars was the perfect mix of entertainment, celebrity and fierce competition, proving a stand-out hit with Australian audiences.

“We have a fantastic cast ready to hit the dance floor for season two. With a history of multiple perfect scores in the ranks, it’s going to be a brilliant series.”
