Dancing with the rumours

Rumours are swirling (told you it was that time of year!) around who may land the Dancing with the Stars gig alongside Daniel MacPherson, following Sonia Kruger’s switch to Nine.
So far the names have included Fifi Box, whose main presence on Seven has been Sunrise and Four Weddings. She also co-hosts a Drive programme on Austereo with Jules Lund. She would be high on the Seven short-list.
Another name is Natalie Bassingthwaighte, who has proven successful as a judge on The X Factor this year.
“Within the network I think Nat would be great. I think she would be a great choice,” Daniel MacPherson told News Limited this week.
“But you never know what might happen.
“She does have a lot going on at the moment.”
So who else do readers see as a good fit?
Julia Morris? Kylie Gillies?
Julia Zemiro? Myf Warhurst?
Kerri-Anne? Gretel Killeen? Kidding.
It’s nearly the silly season, so let’s hear some suggestions….

Utterly inspired thinking Jonno – Tania Lacy would be amazing – I’d even tune in to watch the show. Nat Bass has zero personality and would totally kill the show.
Well since Kruger is hinted as the BB host how about Gretal Killen as DWTS co host
But I agree Bob Downe would be great
Jen Hawkins sorry
Jan Hawkins

Yeah, Rachel Finch would be an excellent choice, the best I’ve seen put forward so far, streets ahead of Fifi Box, Bassingthwaite, et al. Ms Finch is bubbly without being over-the-top, is well spoken, has continued dance training with her squeeze Michael Miziner so is knowledgeable about dance and she looks beautiful and glamourous. Julia Morris has the snarky, backhanded wit thing going that Sonia has, but not sure she’d be the best fit. Also, she’s not glamourous enough (in my opinion) and the co-host needs to be a glamourous clothes horse, in fitting with the glitzy style of the show.
Ramona Koval – would be a great fit, especially since Radio National stupidly dumped the Book Show.
I still don’t get this love for Sonia Kruger annoying is to nice for her.
Ohhhh please………not Kylie Gillies!!!!
Nat Bass or Rach Finch would have to be the only 2 that should be considered!
Watched Rach on Better homes & Gardens tonight & she has my vote, the most beautiful down to earth girl that is on TV at the moment & not bad on the eye either!!
Bassingthwaighte would be the perfect choice here. Seven have a chance to recover with the loss of Kruger; NatBass is the correct choice.
Who remembers Tania Lacey. She was always ahead of her time. Maybe the world has finally caught up.
I would hope Julia Z wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!
& Kylie G ‘loves the show’ does she? Gee I wonder why?
What about John-Michael Howson?
David, i like the Julia Morris idea! Your right CAA has been amazing for her..so likeable and funny. I must admit i didnt want her on CAA and through eugh, but now im a fan.
What about Jo Stanley?
Kate Ritchie
What’s wrong with David Knox going on Dancing with the stars as a contestant ???
Julia Morris please she will make the show so much fun
Nat Bass would be perfect other options maybe Ricki-Lee or Edwina Bartholomew both have a naturallly cheeky persona!!
I think they should revamp the show altogether. Bring out a bigger stage, Bigger names, and i mean Bigger. And i think they can afford to bring an overseas personality to bring the show back up, just like they did with X Factor. I think Mel B would be a fantastic addition!! Shes smart, witty and speaks her mind. She also has a unique sense in style, just like Sonia did. I think she’d be perfect.
Ben Elton!
