In 1996 he took up a position with Television New Zealand as a reporter for One Network News. In 1998 Stefanovic returned to Australia with a job reporting and reading for Ten News in Brisbane.

He eventually made it to the Grand Final of the show but was beaten by Jake Wall on a viewer SMS and phone poll. Stefanovic was regarded by Christopher Dean as a natural ice-dancer who potentially could have turned professional had he begun skating in his youth. His participation in the show will be remembered for his audacious costume selection, chemistry with ice-dancer Linda Aubrecht and convincing performance of the "Boléro" in the shows finale.
