Dancing with the Stars (Australian TV series) season 5

Season of television series

The fifth season of the Australian Dancing with the Stars premiered on 26 September 2006. Daryl Somers and Sonia Kruger returned as hosts, while Todd McKenney, Paul Mercurio, Helen Richey, and Mark Wilson returned as judges.

AFL player Anthony Koutoufides and Natalie Lowe were announced as the winners on 28 November 2006, while chess player Arianne Caoili and Carmelo Pizzino finished in second place.

A controversy occurred in the semifinal round when judge Todd McKenney stated that he believed Arianne Caoili had received professional dance lessons prior to the competition; Caoili denied this. Channel 7's Today Tonight supported McKenney's claims, producing video footage of Caoili attending salsa classes, but Caoili said she had just started taking salsa lessons when the producers offered her a place on the show.[1]
