Why Laura Byrne preferred doing Dancing With The Stars over the The Bachelor despite meeting husband Matty Johnson on the dating series
Laura Byrne revealed on Saturday her experience on Dancing With The Stars Australia has been far better than her stint on The Bachelor in 2017.
Despite winning over the heart of now-husband Matty Johnson, the reality television star, 38, said she had to sleep with one eye open on the matchmaking show.
Meanwhile, the radio host’s time on the Channel Seven dancing competition has been much more ‘heartwarming’ and ‘supportive’.
‘I was always worrying, “Oh how are they going to use this against me,” she said of the 21 other women she competed against for 35-year-old Matty.
Laura and Matty got married in November 2022 after meeting on The Bachelor. The pair welcomed daughters Marlie-Mae in 2019 and Lola in February, 2021.

‘[DWTS] was a really different experience, where everyone’s just looking out for each other on this family-friendly and beautiful, heartwarming dance-related TV show,’ she continued.
‘And even though it’s a competition, at the end of the day, it was really just such a wonderful, supportive little show.’
KIIS FM’s Laura revealed in May she will be kicking up her heels on the upcoming season of Channel Seven’s Dancing With the Stars.
She squealed with delight when she announced the news to her co-hosts Brittany Hockley and Mitch Churi during their radio show The Pick Up.

Laura said she was practicing 25 hours per week in order to get her moves right for the ratings hit, which is currently in pre-production and set to go to air later this year.
‘I’ve been training my absolute arse off, literally my arse is gone, look how flat it is,’ she told her co-hosts, adding: ‘I’ve got nothing left on me.’
The TV personality said at the time she couldn’t name her dance partner, but revealed he was a 21-year-old drill sergeant who has never done DWTS and is ‘desperate to win’
