Shaun Micallef

A SUITABLE NEW MOVE!

- 

HE'S MAD AS HELL HE NEVER GOT TO DANCE AS A BOY

With many feathers in his cap, writer, actor, comedian and TV host Shaun Micallef has always danced to his own tune. But now, he's cha-cha-cha-ing to Channel Seven's music – as a contender on the network's 2025 season of Dancing with the Stars.

It's actually a homecoming of sorts for the Mad as Hell star, as he tells New Idea, “I began my career at Seven on Full Frontal 35 years ago ... I might as well end it there!”

While Shaun might have some trepidation about how the judges (and public!) will receive his dance abilities, we think he's got nothing to worry about, if the moves he busted out during our shoot in Melbourne are anything to go by!

Shaun, 62, is competing for the Mirrorball Trophy alongside the likes of Rebecca Gibney, Michael Usher and Susie O'Neill. He admits he was a somewhat surprising addition to the cast.
