He bested Lauren Seymour of Peakhurst in the finale on Channel 10.

“This experience has changed my life. I never expected to make it so far, let alone become Australia’s favourite dancer,” he said.

“I have learnt and grown so much as a performer throughout this journey. The gift of this show is that it allows you to be recognised for what you have devoted your life to.”

As for the popular dance show, it’s expected to be renewed for a season 5, although nothing official has been announced yet.
