Zdeněk Chlopčík returns to StarDance judging panel

Zdeněk Chlopčík is returning to the judging panel of the dance competition StarDance after a one-year hiatus. Chlopčík stated that he intends to maintain his signature sharp and uncompromising style of judging during the upcoming season.

The return comes amidst significant changes to the show's lineup, specifically the departure of long-time hosts Marek Eben and Tereza Kostková. Former participant and choreographer Marek Dědík expressed surprise at the hosts' exit, describing the transition as an earthquake for the program. Dědík noted that while the changes are difficult, the show continues to evolve following Chlopčík's own absence last year.
