Popular Channel Seven reality show Dancing With The Stars could be set for a shake-up.
Speaking to Woman’s Day, an insider has hinted current judge Craig Revel Horwood, 59, will be getting the chop to make way for a 2025 return of popular host Todd McKenney, also 59.
‘The chatter behind the scenes is that Todd will be back and Craig will be given the boot in 2025,’ they told the publication.
The insider claimed Todd has better on-screen chemistry with host Sonia Kruger, 58. and fans are growing tired of Craig’s persona.
“He has better banter with Sonia and fans have drowned in too many of Craig’s “darlings”,’ the insider claimed.
Todd stepped away from the show in 2024 to star in a theatre production of The Odd Couple.
The publication alleges the reshuffle came at the ‘perfect time’ as it allowed incoming co-host Dr Chris Brown, 45, to build up on-air chemistry with Sonia.
It was also claimed that judge Helen Richey, 79, is driving the push to give Craig the boot, with the pair frequently butting heads on screen, although fellow judges Sharna Burgess, 39, and Mark Wilson, 61, are also keen to show Craig the door.

‘Of course Craig is a true professional and he could do the judging on his head in any country around the world, but this will likely be his last season in Australia,’ the insider told the publication.
‘If Helen puts her foot down on this, consider the job is done.’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Channel Seven for comment.
The take-no-prisoners judge recently revealed another side to himself, making contestant Ben Cousins blush.

The insider claimed that Todd has better on-screen chemistry with host Sonia Kruger, 58. and that fans are growing tired of Craig’s persona.
‘You know what? I love your face. I can’t keep my eyes off it, darling,’ Craig admitted.
Ben, 46, smiled at the comment and began to laugh as the flamboyant judge went on.
‘I love it so much, I’d like to kiss it,’ Craig said, causing the audience to gasp and cheer.
‘That’s what this dance [the cha-cha] is about. It’s cheeky and you bring an energy to the dancefloor, which you should never leave at home.’
Ben appeared very flattered as he giggled and blushed at the normally harsh judge’s compliment.
