Singer and songwriter Keren Peles, currently a judge on "The Star Next Door for Eurovision," has revealed her ongoing attempts to join the cast of "Dancing With the Stars," a different Channel 12 program. Peles expressed her belief that producer Yoav Tzafir is responsible for her not being cast, humorously calling it a "big mistake and failure" on his part. She shared that she continuously sends Tzafir videos of herself dancing, to which he responds with laughter. Peles playfully suggested that Tzafir, known for his sharp insight, might eventually realize she was the "next Anna Aronov," even claiming she was dancing before Aronov, citing her past participation in "Folk Dancing in Yavniel." She also joked that other contestants might feel threatened by her presence, leading to her exclusion. Meanwhile, her "The Star Next Door" colleague, singer Shiri Maimon, successfully transitioned from judging to competing on "Dancing With the Stars," reaching the finals and securing third place with professional dancer Rafel Fleishman.
