The fifth series was filmed with a live audience between 13 June and 3 July 2023.[3]

Production

The costumes were designed and created by Australian Academy Award and BAFTA Award-Winning costume designer Tim Chappel, who is best known for his work on The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert with Lizzy Gardiner.[4]

Panellists and host

Comedian Dave Hughes, British singer-songwriter Mel B, TV personality Abbie Chatfield and radio personality Chrissie Swan returned to the judging panel from the previous season.[5] Hughes is the only remaining original panellist. Osher Günsberg returned as host.

Contestants

Before the season began, Network Ten revealed that the cast included a Hollywood heartthrob, a Grammy Award-winning international singer, a singer with almost 25 million albums sold, a singer with more than 1 million records sold, a performer with more than a billion streams, a reality TV star and a sportstar.[6] The cast were also revealed to have amassed a combined 20 ARIA Awards and hold multiple platinum and gold-certified records.

The Wild Card twist from the previous season returned, with three "Wild Card" contestants to enter and perform later in the competition.[7]
