Mere hours after Ten unveiled the cast of this year’s dance comp, former The Bachelorette contestant Lee Elliott called them out on Insta, writing:
“When did this country start celebrating intolerable, sexist, chauvinistic bigots?”

The Married At First Sight villain has now hit back at his rival reality star.
“I am as far from any of those things as a person can be,” said Dean.
“Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. However, if he had ever actually met me, he would know that I am as far from any of those things as a person can be. I don’t judge anyone based on gender, ethnicity, sexuality or any other such traits.
“I am choosing to ignore negativity and focus on the challenge of learning to dance and hopefully raising money for my nominated charity, the BridgIT Water Foundation. That’s what it’s [the show] all about.”
“Dancing with the Stars is such a great show and I am honoured and humbled to be chosen amongst such a talented bunch of people,” Dean concluded.
