Sonia Kruger has issued a warning to the latest addition to the Dancing with the Stars judging panel.

The Australian television host, who presents the reality TV show with Daniel Macpherson, said that new judge Joshua Horner should make sure he agrees with fellow panel member Helen Richey if he wants to keep his job.

Kruger gave the message for Horner to The Daily Telegraph, saying: "If you don't agree with Helen, you're gone."

Original judge Paul Mercurio was axed from the programme, then Mark Wilson was dropped earlier this year. He said that he understood that "TV shows have to evolve" and said that a new judge would be a "great opportunity" for the series.

He was later replaced by Horner, who said he looked forward to "bringing something different" to the panel.

Celebrities taking part in this year's season include model Lara Bingle, Home and Away actor Dan Ewing, My Kitchen Rules chef Manu Feildel and golfer Jan Stephenson.

Dancing with the Stars is due to return on Sunday, May 8 at 6.30pm on the Seven Network.
