Dancing With The Stars NZ Week Five Results

23 May 2022 - Week five of Dancing with the Stars NZ is complete and Kerre Woodham is the fifth celebrity to be eliminated from the shiny dance floor competition. The sparkling new series premieres exclusively on Three and ThreeNow, with live episodes every Sunday at 7pm and Monday at 7:30pm.

Kerre Woodham and Jared Neame were the fifth couple to be voted out of the competition. The pair scored a total of 45 from the judges for their quickstep and rumba. Kerre lost out to Alex Vaz in a bottom two dance-off, as determined by the judges.

Kerre and Jared re-entered the competition last week, after contestant Rhys Mathewson and his dance partner Phoebe Robb unfortunately tested positive for Covid-19.

Kerre commented on the result: “I came back and had the most fun and fabulous time, and because it was in such a short time frame, I didn’t have time to overthink it or stress about it - I could just enjoy it. I got to dance with Jonny Williams who I’ve fangirled over for years; I got to do a really fun quickstep, we got our highest marks yet, and I got the bang! I’ve had an amazing experience."

Head Judge Camilla Sacre-Dallerup added: “I just love that woman! I never want her to leave the ballroom, but it’s the semi-final. We’ve said goodbye once before, but I was so pleased to see her back for another dance, and she did herself so proud. I feel like she’s not really leaving because she’ll be back in the ballroom next week - she’s wonderful.”
