Jivin' With The Judges Fate Brought Us Together!

The expert dance trio score each other highly!

When the Kiwi producers of Dancing with the Stars started their search for a brand-new panel of judges, they cast their nets far and wide. But they needn’t have – in the end, all three experts, Camilla Sacre-Dallerup, Julian “Julz” Tocker and Rachel White, were found in Los Angeles ... and it turns out they’ve been best friends for years!

Wellington lad Julz, 30, marvels, “We all went for this job separately and signed agreements that we’d keep it to ourselves, then suddenly we turn up to the same screen test and we’re like, ‘What the hell?!’ It’s a dream because we don’t have to pussyfoot around each other. I can say what I like and know they won’t take it personally.”

Danish blonde bombshell Camilla, 44, agrees, but doesn’t believe their casting was a coincidence. The life coach and self-help author insists, “This is fate. My agent put me forward for the job last season, but it’s only come about now because the timing is right.”

Brunette beauty Rachel, 30, nods. “It’s strange how some things happen. These guys are both amazing friends to me and it really feels like this was meant to be.”

Former ballroom champ Camilla first met a 12-year-old Julz when she was touring New Zealand, giving lessons with her Kiwi dance partner and former fiancé Brendan Cole. She recalls, “Julian was a really talented kid and even back then, I knew he’d go far.”
