Emma Freedman wins Dancing with the Stars 2015

Touted as the ‘best dancer’ the show had ever seen, former Nine presenter Emma Freedman last night won the title of Dancing with the Stars 2015.

Freedman scored perfect tens from judges last night, defeating runner-up, Olympian Matthew Mitcham. Former My Kitchen Rules contestant Ash Pollard took third place.

Freedman capped off a sure-footed series in which she frequently finished at the top of the show’s leaderboard, last night dancing to ‘Singing In The Rain’ with her partner Aric.

“It’s just the most incredible experience. Not only has it been wonderful to get to know thee guys, but everyone in that Green Room are sensational human beings and I’ve absolutely loved getting to know you as well,” she said.

There is already talk of her performance having boosted her media prospects, which would be sweet justice after being let go by the Today show.

Monday’s grand final, the first in the show’s history, brought the 15th season to an end a week early, following its lowest-ever ratings. Against The Voice, and with new host Shane Bourne, the show has had its work cut out.

But Seven has reaffirmed its commitment for another season next year.
