Grant Denyer, Kris Smith and Ricki-Lee book their spot at the Grand Finale after an epic night of performances.

Tonight, during the first semi-final on Dancing With The Stars: All Stars, five couples entered the ballroom battle to fight for three spots in the Grand Finale.

The night began with a gruelling rock and roll marathon dance where Grant Denyer got a head start as the last one alive on the dancefloor.

Later Grant stunned the judges with his flashy paso doble and topped the leader board. Following closely was Ricki-Lee Coulter who left everyone longing for more with her captivating rhumba. Both blitzed the first semi-final and booked a place in the Grand Finale.

Kylie Gillies swayed her way with a sultry samba; Anthony Koutoufides was on the front foot with a lively quickstep and wild card Kris Smith displayed rhythm and romance through his samba.

In the sudden death dance-off, judges Helen Richie, Paul Mercurio and Mark Wilson were split between all three couples and who to send through to the Grand Finale.

The decision was left with head judge Todd McKenney, solely choosing based on the dance-off. He made the shock decision to send wild card Kris through to compete in the Grand Finale.

Ultimately, it meant Kylie and Kouta were sent packing in the first double elimination.

The final scores of the night were:
