Dancing with the Stars judge Julz Tocker and one of the stars of the upcoming season, former Shortland Street star Kerry-Lee Dewing are staying positive while in isolation limbo in the wake of the news Three has put a hold on production during the current lockdown.
DWTS joined a list of shows that are adapting their production schedules in light of the Covid-19 alert level being raised to level 4. Today was the day the show was due to announce the names of all 12 stars, but the media roll-out was put on hold. Dewing was the only star with whom all publicity could not be totally pulled, so will be the solitary announcement for now.
Dewing and Tocker were both already in isolation due to restrictions on international travel arrivals. Tocker, after coming from his home in Los Angeles and Dewing from her new home in Australia.

The former Ferndale local is in isolation at a cottage in Dairy Flat and the judge is holed up at the Heritage hotel in Auckland. Both feel a sense of relief that New Zealand has done the right thing with lockdown.
