Dancing With The Stars' 2025 hosts are revealed after Dr Chris Brown's debut with Sonia Kruger prompted very mixed reactions

As an ardent follower of Dancing with the Stars Australia and a longtime fan of the beloved show, I must say I find myself both excited and apprehensive about the return of Chris Brown and Sonia Kruger for the 2025 series.


2025’s Dancing With The Stars Australia hosts have been unveiled, following a response that ranged from positive to negative regarding the duo of Dr Chris Brown and Sonia Kruger.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t contain my excitement when Chris, age 45, graced our screens as the newcomer on Channel Seven’s show alongside the venerable Sonia, 58, in the 2024 series. However, not everyone among us fans seemed to share the same enthusiasm for this dynamic duo.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve got to share some intriguing feedback from our audience about our recent vet addition. While the highly anticipated debut of Chris was met with enthusiasm initially, it seems some viewers have been less than thrilled with his performance thus far. Interestingly, there have been whispers echoing back to the days of Daryl Somers in this role. Could a return be on the cards? Only time will tell!

Despite the criticism, it has been revealed that both Chris and Sonia will be back to once again helm the celebrity dancing competition next year.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates! I’ve recently inked a three-year contract with the network, which I can hardly wait to dive into. Meanwhile, our esteemed show host Sonia is nominated for the prestigious Most Popular Presenter and Personality award at the 2024 Logie Awards. Fingers crossed for her!

According to a source, it’s a significant commitment for the network to pair Sonia and Chris on Dancing With The Stars.

As a loyal follower, I’ve always felt that Channel Seven anticipated this move, and now, it’s an absolute joy for me to witness these individuals growing their bond on screen.

Next year, due to the audience’s familiarity and adaptation process with long-running shows, it is likely they will no longer remember how this program initially appeared.

As a longtime fan and viewer of “Dancing with the Stars,” I must say that taking over as co-host from Daryl, an Aussie TV legend, is a dream come true for me. Having watched Daryl throughout my years of television viewing, it’s both humbling and exhilarating to step into his shoes this series. His departure from the show was confirmed last October, and I had always hoped that one day I might have the opportunity to take on such an iconic role. Now, as I embark on this exciting new chapter in my career, I can’t help but feel grateful for the life experiences that led me here. The journey has been a long and winding road, filled with ups and downs, but it’s all led me to this moment – standing beside some of the most talented dancers in the world, ready to bring joy and entertainment to millions of viewers every week. I can only hope that I make Daryl proud and continue to uphold the high standards set by him and my fellow hosts over the years.

Last month, Chris’ first appearance on the widely-acclaimed show drew a somewhat cool response from viewers who felt unimpressed.

Audience members expressed their opinions about X, particularly concerning the shift in hosts, many lamenting the absence of Daryl, a beloved figure from Hey Hey It’s Saturday, who is now 72 years old, from their television screens.

One person wrote: ‘I’m watching #DancingAU but feel sorry that Daryl isn’t hosting.’

‘Don’t get me wrong, I love Dr Chris Brown, but I feel sorry for Daryl Somers,’ another said.

A third person directly criticized the newcomer as a substitute for Daryl, asking: ‘Are we still attempting to create another Chris Brown?’

In the face of doubters, I stand firm in my conviction that Chris will excel in his new role post-performance, specifically in the sky lounge.

Additionally, Sonia faced a portion of criticism since she entered the new season armed with jokes aimed at her previous co-host Daryl.

Television legend Darryl chose to depart from the series during its final season, and assertive Sonia playfully made a jibe at her ex-co-star instead.

She playfully told Chris that she suffered a severe injury during Dancing with the Stars. To her humor, it required the amputation of one of the hosts.

Though the remark brought laughter from the live audience, it didn’t win over all viewers tuning in at home.

One individual expressed frustration by saying, ‘Sonia’s continuous rude remarks towards Daryl Somers are not amusing; instead, they are uncalled-for, harsh, and simply unnecessary.’

If I had considered voting for her for the Gold Logie, I definitely won’t do that now. Her behavior is disgraceful, they commented further, labeling her as a ‘rude girl.’

Previously, Daryl served as the host for Dancing with the Stars from 2004 to 2007. He came back to the show in 2021 and continued hosting it along with Sonia until 2023.
