Courtney has previously said that she’ll be performing as Courtney and as Shane on the series.

“I would want to be Courtney and dance with a male partner,” she revealed. “And then halfway through the series I’d come out as Shane and there would finally be same-sex dancing on the show.

“I’ve seen same-sex ballroom dancing and it’s just as fabulous.”

The other celebrities who are competing this series are Cassandra Thorburn, Miguel Maestre, Constance Hall, Denise Scott, Michelle Bridges, Olympia Valance, Samuel Johnson, James Rees, Sir Curtly Ambrose and Jett Kenny.

The 16th season of Dancing With The Stars is the first in four years. It airs every Monday in Australia on Network 10.
