During the Sunday, July 23 Dancing With The Stars Grand Finale, Phil Burton beat out Home and Away actor Emily Weir to take home the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy.
Phil was not only awarded the winning title but was also given $20,000 for his chosen charity, NSW Police Legacy.
Before his turn as a ballroom dancer, Phil was best known as a member of Human Nature, Australia’s most famous boy band! Formed as a high school group back in 1989, the band have since released thirteen studio albums, three compilation albums, five video albums, one EP, twenty-two singles and thirty-two music videos. They’ve also held a Las Vegas residency and were inducted into the ARIA’s Hall of Fame in 2019.
In this episode, host and head of entertainment at Mediaweek and Chattr, Anita Anabel spoke to Phil about his win on DWTS, why he still gets imposter syndrome after all these years, what his kids really think about his fame and what it was like growing up with a policeman for a dad.
