Dancing with the Stars

Australia

In 2019, Vladimirov joined the cast of the Australian version of the dance competition programme, Dancing with the Stars as a professional dancer. Her first season saw her partner Giggle and Hoot presenter, Jimmy Rees. The couple reached the seventh week of the competition before Rees was forced to withdraw when one of his children became ill. They, therefore, finished in fifth place.

In 2020, Vladimirov returned for a second season partnering Married at First Sight personality, Dean Wells. They were the first couple to be eliminated.

In 2021, Vladimirov partnered Dancing with the Stars season 2 champion, TV presenter, Tom Williams. [10] They reached Week 5 of the competition before being eliminated in a double vote-off.

In 2022, Vladimirov returned for her fourth consecutive season, partnering another former champion, Dancing with the Stars season 14's Australian rules footballer, David Rodan. [11] The couple reached the grand finale becoming one of the four couples finishing in joint-third place. [12]

Vladimirov did not feature in the 2023 season but did return for the 2024 in which she partnered SAS Australia: Who Dares Wins presetner, Ant Middleton. [13] The couple reached the final, finishing in third place. [14]
