Liesl Laurie’s journey on 'Dancing with the Stars' comes to an end
Dancing queen Liesl Laurie sadly bowed out of 'Dancing with
the Stars SA' on Sunday night. We take a look back at her adventure.
The Jacaranda FM presenter gave it her all, but the judges had to send somebody home after an emotionally-charged foxtrot.
Three of the four judges decided to save netball champ Vanes-Mari du Toit in her third dance-off.
Liesl started her 'Dancing with the Stars SA' journey with a sultry cha-cha alongside her dance partner Ryan Hammond.
The former Miss SA and Miss World Africa's confidence grew every week, even powering on with a cracked rib – which was testament to her sheer determination.
Liesl leaped back the following week with a
glittering Quickstep.
Judge Bryan Watson commented on her dancing, saying she “lit up the floor”.
Week 6 was arguably Martin Bester and Barney Simon’s favourite week as Liesl did a rock-inspired Paso Doble, dancing to AC/DC!

Even though we’re well aware that Liesl is a princess, week seven saw her do an American Smooth as an actual Disney princess!
“There’s been a lot of tears, but I did warn everyone in the beginning that there would be,” Liesl chirped after the results were announced.
“I don’t leave this competition with any losses,” she said graciously.
“Maybe the loss of my beautiful toes... but I gained so many new friendships and beautiful memories,” she joked.
