The official cast for Dancing with the Stars 2024 has been revealed in a promo video shared to the show's official Instagram this weekend. 

The clip showed new host Chris Brown team up with his co-host Sonia Kruger as the pair race around in a car named the 'star catcher' looking for celebrities to kidnap for the show. 

Among the stars appearing in the promo was AFL legend Ben Cousins, who has long been rumoured to be taking part. 

The 45-year-old footy star, who has been rebuilding his life in recent years after a fall from grace, explained that part of his redemption arc will include reality TV. 

Next up was four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune, another who was long slated to be part of the series. 

Another beloved star - MasterChef Australia fan favourite Julie Goodwin - appeared next in the promo cooking up a storm.   

'Life is too short to say no to something like this,' Goodwin told The Daily Telegraph.

'Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be capable of dancing,' she continued

'I have always loved to watch the show, and to watch people dance, but it never occurred to me that one day I might be able to do it too.'

Comedian Nikki Osborne appeared in the promo, as did Better Homes and Gardens presenter Adam Dovile. 

Olympian and former senator Nova Peris was also seen jogging in the video, before singer Samantha Jade belted out a tune. 

Home and Away's James Stewart was seen jogging across the beach, before chef Hayden Quinn popped up. 

Former AFL WAG-turned-fashion designer Nadia Bartel worked her angles in a photo shoot in the promotional video.

They joined AFL legend Shane Crawford and SAS Australia's Ant Middleton, who slid into the frame down a rope. 

This year's stars are currently in rehearsal.

Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Channel Seven later this year. 

Dr Chris Brown replaced long-serving host Daryl Somers as co-host of Dancing With The Stars Australia.

Fans have already been wowed by Brown and Kruger's on-camera chemistry after the pair co-hosted the TV Week Logie Awards.

Brown was rumoured to be up for the role of co-hosting DWTS with Kruger last year, but according to The Sunday Telegraph he missed out due to a 'miscalculation' about his contract.

TV bosses were 'compelled to extend the invitation to Somers' after miscalculating Brown's start date at Channel Seven.

Brown officially joined Seven in July last year - which was too late for the show's producers, BBC Studios, to start filming.
