'I don't believe she hasn't had training': Courtney Act claims fellow Dancing With The Stars contestant Olympia Valance has an unfair advantage
Channel Ten are bringing back a revamped version of Dancing With The Stars.
And ahead of Monday night's premiere, Courtney Act claimed fellow contestant Olympia Valance, 26, has an unfair advantage.
The 37-year-old told Yahoo Lifestyle on Monday that the actress likely already had dance training in the past.

'I think Olympia Valance is secretly hiding some dance school training, because I asked her and she said she doesn't have any but I don't believe her,' Courtney said.
'She's Holly Valance's sister, she's a performer,' the drag queen continued. 'I reckon if they had one kid along to dance school, you would've sent them along.'
Channel Ten announced a reboot of Dancing With The Stars in July last year, with hosts Grant Denyer and Amanda Keller.
Eleven personalities are polishing their dance shoes and perfecting their routines, ahead of Monday night's premiere.

The lineup features Cassandra Thorburn, Jett Kenny, Samuel Johnson, Denise Scott, Curtly Ambrose, Miguel Maestre, Constance Hall, Jimmy Rees and Olympia Valance.
Host Grant told The Sunday Telegraph that he has some concerns for the crop of celebrities.
'I've never seen a more terrified bunch of celebrities in my life,' the 41-year-old said.
'I thought a lot of them might have a little bit more resilience about them but it is like learning to walk again - it is so foreign,' he added.

Grant added that one of those struggling the most is actor Samuel Johnson.
Despite Grant himself suggesting that the Gold Logie winner join the show, Sam apparently has two left feet.
'It appears that he is absolutely tragic on the dance floor. I've never seen someone struggle so much with the basics,' Grant said.
Dancing With The Stars premieres Monday night at 7.30pm on Channel Ten
