Osher Günsberg has revealed why he snapped at Dancing With the Stars judge Craig Revel Horwood this week.
The pair exchanged some tense words on Sunday night after Günsberg and partner Sriani Argaet danced an Argentine tango to the strains of David Bowie‘s Fashion.
After Revel Horwood decried the routine as a ‘mess’, Günsberg wasted no time in challenging the judge’s assessment in what was a fiery exchange.
Speaking to Chattr about the incident, Günsberg said the judge could’ve peppered some compliments into his harsh critique.
‘I tried really, really, really hard, and a part of me was like, “Oh, come on man. You know that was a really f**king hard thing to do, and I was never going to be technically perfect at it”,’ he said

‘I’m also not trying to be a professional dancer. So, you know, at least give us a compliment sandwich.
‘Start with, “Mate, your hair looked good. Your feet look terrible, but you have a nice smile.” You know, give us that’
Günsberg, who was eliminated from the series on Sunday night, admitted that he wanted to draw attention to the ‘snarkiness’ in Revel-Horwood’s comments.
‘Sometimes you give it back, it works, and sometimes it doesn’t,’ he said.
‘It was always going to be a risk, but you know… I was coming from a place of reality, and I wasn’t particularly upset at him, I was just trying to draw some perspective to the snarkiness of what he was saying.’
And Revel-Horwood did not mince his words with his assessment of Günsberg’s tango.
‘A right, Royal mess that was,’ he said ‘I don’t know what that step was meant to be coming down the ramp, darling, but whatever it was it was fumbled.’
Visibly annoyed, Günsberg snapped, ‘Would you like to try going down that Perspex ramp in those heels, sir? You’re more than welcome to show me.’

‘A right, Royal mess that was,’ Revel Horwood said of the routine. ‘I don’t know what that step was meant to be coming down the ramp, darling, but whatever it was it was fumbled.’
He continued to rage: ‘But I need you to be doing it in a tango step while the person next to you is on one foot kicking, and you’re holding their momentum against you. After you!’
Revel Horwood seemed taken aback by the fiery exchange, replying to a fuming Günsberg, ‘That is not my job’.
He then continued on with his critique despite the tense atmosphere, which had host Sonia Kruger visibly shocked.
‘It was completely erratic,’ Craig said, after dismissing Günsberg’s remarks.
Revel Horwood told the frustrated TV personality, ‘You were making mistakes left, right and centre.’
Fellow judge Mark Wilson did offer Günsberg some words of encouragement, telling him that he admired his determination to improve his dancing skills.
However, the final score was a dismal 15 points and Günsberg was sent home.
