Brittany Hockley brutally slammed by judges on Dancing With The Stars - after revealing she suffered a X-rated wardrobe malfunction
Dancing With The Stars returned to Channel Seven on Sunday night with a bang - and one contestant who definitely made an impression was radio star Brittany Hockley. But it wasn't all glitter and glamour for the Life Uncut podcaster, who was slammed by notoriously tough judge Craig Revel Horwood, who didn't hold back. 'You looked like you were drunk and lost at the party,' Craig said bluntly after Brittany's high-energy cha-cha performance with partner Craig Monley. 'There was no hip action… It was too upright. Every spin lacked spotting. And point your feet in the lifts, darling. No clumpy feet!' Despite the scathing critique, Brittany managed to win over the other judges – and the audience – with her infectious energy and unfiltered charm. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She even shocked the crowd by revealing a wardrobe malfunction that could have turned X-rated during rehearsals. 'For everyone playing at home, my skirt came off today… multiple times while I was dancing,' she told co-host Sonia Kruger. 'It threw my confidence in the rehearsal, thinking it would happen again. And no one needs to see me in a G-string!' Fellow judge Sharna Burgess praised Brittany's resilience, saying: 'You had a crappy dress rehearsal, but an amazing show. You're infectious to watch.' Helen Richey added: 'You're totally uninhibited. Sure, there were a few hiccups, but you looked like you were loving every minute of it. You're full of potential.' Mark Wilson echoed similar sentiments, describing Brittany as 'vivacious' and full of 'beautiful energy'. The judges weren't the only ones watching closely – host Sonia Kruger couldn't help but joke that this was the 'first time in eight seasons' she'd seen Craig Monley smile. Brittany, 37, later laughed off the ordeal, heading upstairs to the skybox to reflect on the performance. Meanwhile, 7 presenter Michael Usher (pictured) shocked everyone, soaring to the top of the leaderboard with 27 points and unanimous praise from the judges 'I had fun,' she said. 'Definitely nailed it better in practice. Still catching my breath!' But Brittany wasn't the only star making waves in the season premiere. Olympic boxer Harry Garside delivered an energetic jive full of daring lifts, prompting Mark to jump to his feet and demand an encore. Despite scoring 21, the panel was split - Sharna called for more 'refinement,' Craig called it 'messy,' while Helen boldly predicted Harry could be 'the heavyweight in this competition.' Swimming legend Susie O'Neil performed a shaky tango, landing the night's lowest score of 13. But the judges admired her courage and clear improvement since rehearsals. Meanwhile, 7NEWS presenter Michael Usher shocked everyone, soaring to the top of the leaderboard with 27 points and unanimous praise from the judges for his musicality and charisma. Closing the show, Rebecca Gibney lit up the floor with a cheeky cha-cha-cha. The performance, while technically flawed, was a crowd-pleaser. 'So wrong, it was right,' said Mark.
