Dancing With The Stars judge Todd McKenney has been left feeling ‘betrayed’ and violated after his beloved rug was stolen from his home while he was away.

The veteran TV star, 59, shared a photo to social media on Tuesday of the beloved floral-patterned floor piece and captioned it with some heartbreaking words.

‘This rug was recently stolen from my house while I was in Melbourne. It’s a seriously big rug and not easy to move so I’m assuming it’s been taken by a thief who knew I was away for a week,’ Todd began.

Todd added he was feeling betrayed after his personal space was violated while he was away.

‘I can’t believe someone I know who has access to my house would do this but…., who knows? It’s only a rug but it’s the betrayal I can’t get my head around,’ he wrote. 

He then asked his fans for their help tracking down the heartless thief.

‘Anyway, if anyone comes across it on someone’s floor please let me know. It’s from Designer Rugs, it’s about 2M X 3M and New Zealand wool and silk. Who steals rugs ffs?’ Todd said. 

Many of Todd’s celebrity friends took to the comment section with words of support.

‘That would freak me out,’ wrote TV personality Shelly Horton.

‘WTF?’ added actress Catherine Alcorn.

It follows reports that the upcoming season of DWTS could be set for a shake-up. 

Speaking to Woman’s Day last July, an insider hinted current judge Craig Revel Horwood, 59, will be getting the chop to make way for a 2025 return of popular host Todd McKenney.

‘The chatter behind the scenes is that Todd will be back and Craig will be given the boot in 2025,’ they told the publication.

The insider claimed Todd has better on-screen chemistry with host Sonia Kruger and fans are growing tired of Craig’s persona.

“He has better banter with Sonia and fans have drowned in too many of Craig’s “darlings”,’ the insider claimed.

Todd stepped away from the show in 2024 to star in a theatre production of The Odd Couple.

The publication alleges the reshuffle came at the ‘perfect time’ as it allowed incoming co-host Dr Chris Brown to build up on-air chemistry with Sonia.

It was also claimed that judge Helen Richey, 79, is driving the push to give Craig the boot, with the pair frequently butting heads on screen, although fellow judges Sharna Burgess and Mark Wilson are also keen to show Craig the door.

‘Of course Craig is a true professional and he could do the judging on his head in any country around the world, but this will likely be his last season in Australia,’ the insider told the publication.

‘If Helen puts her foot down on this, consider the job is done.’
