‘Mess': Osher Gunsberg hits back in fiery TV clash
Aussie TV star Osher Gunsberg went down swinging on Sunday's episode of Dancing With the Stars, hitting back at one of the show's judges after some savage critiques of his latest performance.
The former Bachelor host danced the tango to the David Bowie classic Fashion with his dance partner Sriani Argaet, a performance that got a universally frosty reception from the judging panel.
But judge Craig Revel Horwood was the harshest, declaring Gunsberg's tango a 'right royal mess' – a description that earned a fiery response from the contestant himself.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood didn't hold back.
… so neither did Osher.
'Would you like to try going down that perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You are more than welcome to show me how to do it,' Gunsberg told the judge – whose response was a shrugged 'that is not my job.'
' … but I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot and you're holding them – after you,' Gunsberg continued.
Horwood continued on, saying that Gunsberg's performance was 'completely erratic,' contained 'mistakes left right and centre,' and said in retrospect he should've tried to master a simpler routine.
That too drew a fiery response from Gunsberg.
'Where's the fun in trying something that's not really risky? You saw the dance I did last episode, Craig. I took big risks. You said to take big risks.'
'I would rather do it and have it not work and give it a shot.'
Osher had some fancy moves …
… but the judges were less than impressed.
Unfortunately, the risk didn't pay off: After receiving a lowly score of 15 from Horwood, Gunsberg ended up with a grand total of just 15 points, leaving him a distant last on the leaderboard. He and dance partner Argaet were eliminated from the competition, leaving four celeb contestants. Home and Away star Kyle Shilling, who received a perfect score of 40 in Sunday's episode, Felicity Ward, Mia Fevola and Shaun Micallef.
Gunsberg may have copped a battering from the judges on his way out of the competition, but it seems many viewers were on his side: Fans flooded an Insta post showing his final dance with supportive comments overnight.
'It was unfair for you to go tonight. You did a great job,' wrote one.
'Not gonna lie. I kinda cheered with Osher gave it back to Craig,' said another.

Queen Mary rushed indoors after shock moment during outing
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON Queen Mary has been forced to cut short her appearance at a royal walkabout after a painful encounter. The Australian-born monarch, 53, was with her husband, King Frederik, 57, and two of their children – Princess Isabella, 18, and Prince Vincent, 14, greeting locals in Gråsten, Denmark as they kicked off their summer holiday. The Danish royal family were greeting local wellwishers. Picture: Instagram In footage shared on social media, Mary was seen standing with her family before wincing and touching her leg in distress, prompting her husband and children to check on her. X Learn More SUBSCRIBER ONLY A wasp appears to have been to blame, with Sky News reporting that Mary insisted her family continue with the engagement, while she was whisked away to a nearby hotel. Meanwhile, local media outlet Billed Bladet confirmed she appeared to be OK despite the ordeal. 'The queen certainly did not seem to be badly affected by the encounter with the stinging wasp, and she, together with the king, Isabella and Vincent, made sure to greet the many citizens who had gathered in the square,' the publication reported. The Danish royal family later settled into Gråsten Palace, their summer holiday home for the next few weeks. The outing marked the beginning of their summer holidays. Picture: Instagram It's been an intensely busy 18 months for the King and Queen who officially ascended the Danish throne on January 14 last year, after Frederik's mother, Queen Margrethe, abdicated and thus ended her 52-year reign. A short time later, the King released a book, co-authored by royal biographer Jens Anderson, revealing a surprising amount of personal details about the royal couple. 'I love marriage, my wife, our children and the whole happy base that arises for the people who manage to stay together and persevere,' he wrote. He described Mary as his 'partner and wing woman' and praised their 'super dynamic'. Originally published as Queen Mary rushed indoors after shock moment during outing
