Seven’s The Real Dirty Dancing premieres to 580,000 metro viewers
Another Seven reality format has premiered with a fizzle, with the much-hyped The Real Dirty Dancing bringing in just 580,000 metro viewers for its first outing. The show sees eight celebrities recreate iconic scenes from the classic 1987 movie Dirty Dancing.
Jamie Durie, Hugh Sheridan, Firass Dirani and Jude Bolton are the four men while Jessica Rowe, Anne Edmonds, Stephanie Rice and Anna Heinrich are matched with them. Todd McKenney and Kym Johnson-Herjavec are in the choreography role.

I so want Anne Edmonds to be baby!
She is a hoot!

The most pointless show in the world.
Worst show on channel 7 to date
What an absolute dreadful show. So poorly planned and executed. The whole point of the show was to have celebrities learn how to dance in “Dirty Dancing” movie style, yet only snippets (literally just seconds) of the final dances were shown (except for the final dance with Stephanie Rice and Jude Bolton which was shown in full). Treated its audience like idiots. Far too many cut-aways and far too much of Todd McKenney. If you are going to have a show about celebrities learning how to dance then … show them dancing! Simple. No wonder it rated poorly.
