Dance star on a high with new show

DANCING With The Stars winner Grant Denyer has been named the host of Seven's newest reality/celebrity outing, It Takes Two.
The Sunrise weather reporter will host Dancing With The Stars' vocal counterpart, in which celebrities paired with professional singers compete against each other.
"It's another step up obviously and I'm really looking forward to getting under way," Denyer said.
"There's something magical to be involved in the highest rating television show in Australia and anything that is going to come close to that will be so special.
"It Takes Two is just a terrific return to family value variety television.
"It's got music, it's got drama, it has costumes, it has humour.
"I just think it's a piece in the television pie that's been missing for a long time."
A sports journalist at Prime Television and Channel Ten before joining Seven in 2003, Denyer is a rising racing car driver and will compete with the Dick Johnson Racing team in V8 Supercars at Bathurst this year.
Seven fast-tracked Denyer into the hosting role after viewer polls during the run of Dancing With The Stars showed he had quickly become one of the most recognised and popular faces on screen.
Celebrities and singers named to compete in It Takes Two include cricketer Michael Bevan, models Erika Heynatz and Kate Fischer, AFL player Richard Champion, and singers Troy Cassar-Daly and Guy Sebastian.
"This is my first chance to host a massive project by myself," Denyer said.
"A career can go as quickly as it comes. If you don't maximise your opportunities then someone else will come along and take them, so it's all about doing the best you can with what you've got."
It Takes Two is scheduled to go to air each Sunday at 6.30pm from next week.
