Fans furious after Osher Günsberg's fiery Dancing With The Stars meltdown: 'Check your ego'

Osher Günsberg dramatically clashed with the Dancing With The Stars judges on Sunday night after he received harsh criticism over his tango, which saw him sent home. Now, fans are taking to the social sphere to slam the Australian TV host's behaviour on screen, as well as his ability to dance. 'WTF was that attitude from Osher? The judges are there to give you constructive criticism, you think you danced amazingly and you just didn't, mate. Check your ego bro,' one viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another similarly chimed in: 'Osher is kinda annoying stop fighting with the judges.' One person saw his outburst as a sure nail in the coffin of his DWTS journey: 'Well, I guess Osher's a goner tonight, unless the audience take great pity on him.' 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. Other fans of the show pointed out that Osher was never good enough on the dance floor to warrant his behaviour. 'Thank goodness Osher's out. He was voted to stay the first couple of weeks due to his popularity, but the man can't dance,' one person penned. Another added: 'Osher seems to have trouble accepting reality, he's just a bad dancer.' However, there were a few fans of The Bachelor host who raced to his defence. 'I don't think Osher has ever said he could dance. He is giving it a go and Craig is just downright rude,' one person levelled. Another person wrote: 'Poor Osher, he's trying so hard but he's just not good.' The fan favourite was shown the exit door during a heated episode of Dancing With the Stars on Sunday. Taking to the ballroom with a Tango routine backed by David Bowie 's 1980 hit Fashion, the TV host put in a feverish performance that failed to impress the judges. One person saw his outburst as a sure nail in the coffin of his DWTS journey. But there were a few fans of The Bachelor host who raced to his defence Taking his cue from the evening's 'Kings and Queens of song' theme, judge Craig Revel Horwood did not mince words when delivering his verdict. 'Well, that was a right royal mess! I don't know what that step was, coming down the ramp, darling, but it was fumbled...' Craig began, but a furious Osher interrupted. Visibly annoyed, Osher snapped, 'Would you like to try going down that Perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You're more than welcome to show me.' He continued to rage: 'But I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot kicking, and you're holding their momentum against you. After you!' Craig seemed taken aback by the fiery exchange, replying to a fuming Osher, 'That is not my job.' He then continued on with his critique despite the tense atmosphere, which had host Sonia Kruger visibly shocked. 'It was completely erratic,' Craig said, after dismissing Osher's remarks. Craig told the frustrated TV personality, 'You were making mistakes left, right and centre.' Fellow judge Mark Wilson did offer Osher some words of encouragement, telling him that he admired his determination to improve his dancing skills. However, the final score was a dismal 15 points, and Osher was sent home.

‘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. '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.' 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.

A Recoleta Hideaway

Recoleta Cultural Centre (Centro Cultural Recoleta) - Buenos Aires, Argentina Buenos Aires has long been one of my favorite cities. The stunning architecture, great meals and sultry tango make this city a divine place to visit throughout the year. It never really gets cold here, although the Argentines may think it does in the winter: which is our summer given that they are on the other side of the equator. There are lots of great hotels and apartments for rent in a number of lively neighborhoods. I have loved spending time in the various Palermos, contiguous areas named for the film industry and other businesses. buenos aires, argentina, 03 November 2022: people walking on the street in the popular Soho Palermo ... More neighborhood However, probably my favorite place to stay is in Recoleta, home to the imposing cemetery where Eva Peron is buried. It is trendy, upscale, safe and walkable. It is also home to numerous restaurants open at all hours of the day. The entrance to the hotel. One of the nicest places, with a great restaurant, that I have stayed there is the Loi Suites. It's a business hotel that covers all the culinary bases with intense local beef and lighter fare like salmon. So, I recently sat down with executive chef Dario Galizia to find out more about how he caters to locals and guests. All responses have been edited and condensed for clarity. Liza B. Zimmerman (L.B.Z.): How does your menu feature the classics of Argentine cuisine? Darío Galizia (D.G.): By blending Argentine flavors with Mediterranean and international cuisine. L.B.Z.: Which of the dishes show the most Spanish versus Italian influence? D.G.: The pasta dishes are more focused on Italian cuisine, and the tapas and some of the chef's suggestions are Spanish. Our cuisine clearly emphasizes Mediterranean cuisine, but we also offer Argentinean dishes. Sweetbreads with potatoes and tomatoes. The stuffed pastas that have become the most popular in our culture through Italian immigration are: ravioli, tortellini, agnolotti, malfatti, lasagna and cannelloni. With different types of fillings—spinach orchard, ricotta or mozzarella, different types of cheese, and meats—chicken, lamb, beef or fish—there are many varieties and styles, from more traditional to more gourmet. As for sauces, we always start with the three mother sauces: tomato, bechamel or cream and demi-glace. These can be combined with other garnishes such as mushrooms, seafood, nuts, fresh herbs and meats. Spanish dishes are most often found in chef's suggestions or at special celebrations. They might include beef cheeks, grilled octopus with an omelet, seafood casserole or paellas, mushroom, shrimp, or veal croquettes. L.B.Z.: What types of ingredients, preparations and dishes do you think of as classic in the lexicon of Argentine food? Executive chef Dario Galizia. D.G.: Meat is the most prominent product in Argentina: ribeye, sweetbreads and loin. Argentine cuisine is naturally characterized by the grill or the barbecue. There are many types of cuts and products cooked over charcoal. Empanadas of all kinds are also an important part of the cuisine. However, there are many typical dishes that are influenced by the predominantly Italian and Spanish immigrants. Pasta, for example, is very traditional, especially stuffed pasta. There are also several types of stews and casseroles, that originate from Spain. L.B.Z.: What types of sauces and spices are typical in the preparation and consumption of Argentine food? D.G.: Oregano, ground chili, garlic, parsley, cumin, sweet or hot paprika, vinegar and sunflower oil are some of the ingredients you can find in a chimichurri. If you want it to be spicy, add a few small chilies black pepper, Tabasco, or whatever you like. In any case, there are as many chimichurris as there are grilled meats in the world. L.B.Z.: What makes Argentine beef so spectacular? Beef with Malbec sauce. D.G.: The type of cattle breeds that were introduced from Europe adapted perfectly to our country, especially due to the type of our topography which features vast flatland with lots of food, which means that our cows do not have to walk too far to feed. This generates an almost perfect marbling between meat and fat and a soft muscle, which makes for tasty and tender meat. L.B.Z.: How do your county's wines pair with the food? D.G.: There are some combinations that never fail, such as Cabernet Sauvignon with red meat, Sauvignon Blanc with fish or seafood or Malbec with pasta.

I went on the bucket-list Intrepid tour with world-famous beaches, legendary football and 80p cocktails

'I CAN'T dance . . . I'm English,' I insisted in my woeful Spanish. Milandra wasn't taking no for an answer, though, and forced me to my feet. 8 8 Before I knew what was happening, she and I were locked in a tight embrace, spinning around the dance floor. I usually avoid dancing in public, but in Buenos Aires, the tango is so culturally important, I felt it would be rude not to try. So I'd paid a visit to one of the city's milongas — ramshackle dance clubs found throughout the Argentine capital — where dance enthusiasts assemble every night to cut a rug with one another. I just hoped the locals wouldn't be too offended by what was essentially an act of desecration on my part, as I clumsily stumbled around the room, trying my best to stay on my feet while not crushing Milandra's. They say it takes two to tango, but really, she was the only one contributing to our performance. I was merely there — a practice dummy, as useful and as graceful as a big sack of sugar, but still, somehow, absolutely thrilled to be a part of it. That's the overriding emotion of South America — sheer and simple joy. I walked around in persistant child-like wonder, gawping idiotically at everything I found myself immersed in. Nowhere else was that more prevalent than Iguazu Falls, the centrepiece of Intrepid's seven-day Best of Argentina and Brazil tour that starts in Buenos Aires and ends in Rio de Janeiro, via a two-day trip to the most breath-taking natural park I have ever visited. In places like this, guides will lower expectations by explaining that they 'can't promise anything' when it comes to which wildlife will make an appearance. Outside of New York City I found vineyards, breweries and a race track They needn't be so cagey in Iguazu, with the sprawling stretch of jungle that saddles the border between the two countries packed with a gloriously diverse wealth of creatures. Toucans and parrots flew overhead, capybaras relaxed in the cooling waters of the Iguazu River and mischievous coati, a relative of the raccoon, flocked to picnic areas to fight over tourists ' dropped scraps. All of this, and so much more, plays out in front of the most awe-inspiring backdrop, the falls, which were officially declared one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in 2011. 'Thrilling ambience' Rickety walkways offer vantage points to view most of the landmark's astounding angles, although guests can also take helicopter rides overhead, as well as a boat ride that is slightly more extreme than its name suggests. My fellow sailors and I were tossed about in our seats as our high-powered vessel first took on a barrage of rapids, before the skilled driver zipped in and out of some of the falls' more powerful sections, completely drenching each of us to the bone. I can't remember ever being quite so soaked, but the cool waters of the aggressive power shower were very refreshing in the 38C heat. It also enabled me to gain a truer appreciation of the force of nature I had been lucky enough to spend two exhilarating days exploring. Luckily, the opportunity to relax was provided at my final stop, Rio, where the locals on the famous Copacabana beach go out of their way to prevent you from having to do anything at all. After renting a chair for the day for just £2, I was approached by a steady stream of men with barbecues offering to cook enormous prawns, grilled cheeses or various meats without me ever needing to move from my spot. 8 8 Even more pleasing was the constant flow of vendors serving refreshing caipirinhas, the Brazilian's cocktail of choice — a dangerously drinkable mix of sugar, limes and cachaca, a local spirit made from fermented sugar cane that has the strength of a Long Island iced tea masked by the sweetness of a can of Lilt. They're not just found by the beach, either. In fact, they're sold from stalls throughout the city and range in price from 80p to around £3, according to the extensive research that I selflessly conducted. They're even sold at the city's tourist spots, with bars found on top of Sugarloaf Mountain, which offers stunning views over the city's beaches and coruscating favelas, as well as the Selaron Steps — 215 stairs colourfully decorated with tiles by Chilean artist Jorge Selaron that connect the city centre with the flamboyantly graffitied Santa Teresa neighbourhood. Perilous perch The main sight to see is the Christ The Redeemer statue, which has stood atop Mount Corcovado since 1931. It's an impressive monument to behold, particularly up close, where the craftsmanship that went into carving Jesus' face almost 100 years ago can be truly admired. From its perilous perch, tourists can pick out other famous sights, including the stage where most of Rio's carnival celebrations take place, and the Maracana stadium, where the Brazilian national football team and Flamengo play. South American fans are considered to be among the more rambunctious, so, keen to see what all the fuss was about, I got myself a ticket, with Intrepid's tours including matches as an optional extra. The streets surrounding the 78,000-seat arena were bursting with life from as much as two hours before kick-off, with barbecues, beer and, of course, caipirinhas all on offer, as Flamengo fans in their Dennis The Menace-esque black and red home shirts made their way to the ground. Once inside the legendary stadium, the noise and atmosphere only intensified, with samba beats being beaten loudly from drums, while pyrotechnics and giant flags enhanced the thrilling ambience. I did my best to sing along with the home fans, despite not knowing any Portuguese, and by the end I felt like an honorary member of their troop as we roared on Flamengo to a hard-fought 1-0 win. Then, as the fans filtered out afterwards, singing and dancing into the night, I ordered a final caipirinha and already began to feel a profound sense of longing for this truly magnificent part of the world before I'd even started packing for my flight home the next morning. Luckily, with trips like Intrepid's highlights tour, it's easy enough to plan another visit for the not-too-distant future. I just need to make sure I take a few tango lessons beforehand, so I can sweep Milandra off her feet next time, instead of almost standing all over them. 8 8 8 8

Haderlump Berlin Spring 2026 Collection

In the baking heat of Haderlump designer Johann Ehrhardt's show venue, a non air-conditioned former vintage furniture warehouse in the Alt-Treptow neighborhood, it seemed the cuboid edifice that took center stage on his runway, covered as it was in thousands of ex libris paper book plates, might burst into flames any minute, it was so hot. And how's that for an indictment on our world burning right now in oh so many ways? Not that the heat was in any way Ehrhardt's fault: the current Berlin heatwave has come out of nowhere, and he and his team and models were working in a backstage space only marginally (and I do mean marginally) cooler. And it wasn't book burning that was on his mind, but a far more romantic and lyrical narrative. Ehrhardt has been taking tango and salsa lessons at a Berlin bar called Bepop (there is something quite endearing about this cool black-clad towering dude learning to trip the light fantastic) and he's befriended an older couple who also go to Bebop, who gifted him with an aviator-themed ex libris plate dating from 1913, just as he was working on a collection to be shown at Berlin's historic Tegel airport. He visited the couple at their home for dinner, and discovered they had a vast collection of books with an equally vast—80,000, reckons Ehrhardt—collection of antique book plates. 'I remember thinking, no one knows about these anymore,' he said. 'My generation would never think to put one in a book.' He pored over them for hours, and they led him to his spring 2026 collection. Those book plates would often feature illustrations of legendary figures, and mythic characters, sometimes in equally memorable clothing, swaggering historic tailored garb, say, or ancient draped robes. The former Ehrhardt has down to a tee, as this collection ably demonstrated, regardless of the gender that was wearing it on the runway. There were plenty of jackets in cotton drill or glazed leather cut with edge and attitude, notably those which were on the roomy side, their capacious sleeves featuring bias seams which injected movement into them. Ehrhardt also knows his way around a floorsweeping, ever so slightly f—ked up greatcoat (present and correct here, in hammered and embroidered khaki-ish brown wool) as well as a big, bad black blouson jacket, his featuring a curving chest panel, and worn with a pleated skirt layered over tacking-stitched trousers, while another in olive sported a monk-like hood. Yet those plates also took him somewhere new: the drawn by hand robes and togas inspired him to try draping for the first time, with he and his team energized by the idea of taking this most noble and elegant of techniques, and allying it to the label's resolutely urban look. It turned up as a strictly waisted black top with a billowing, rather Edwardian skirt, say, or a diaphanous gown that moved like a cloud. 'It was a lot of late nights to get it right,' Ehrhardt said, 'but I'm happy we did it.' And how does he think he made the fine art of draping true to Haderlump? 'We wanted ours to feel comfortable,' Ehrhardt replied, 'and also with this sense of safety, and cocooning. Yet it's for Haderlump,' he continued, smiling, 'so it also needed to have some toughness.'
