The finale of Dancing With The Stars 2024 was nothing short of spectacular, with five contestants vying for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy in a gripping conclusion. Perth-raised actress Lisa McCune emerged as the ultimate champion after an almost flawless performance. The competition was fierce, with WA's own Samantha Jade finishing a close second, followed by Ant Middleton in third place. Comedian Nikki Osborne and Home & Away's James Stewart rounded out the top five, securing fourth and fifth places respectively.
The final night saw each participant giving their all in a bid to captivate the audience. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as Lisa McCune and her partner Ian Waite delivered a show-stopping Viennese Waltz, which earned them a perfect score of 40 from the judges. Samantha Jade dazzled with a freestyle performance, glittering in a golden-sequined dress, while Ant Middleton showcased his best dance moves in a contemporary routine. Despite strong performances from all, it was McCune's near-perfect display that set her apart.
Adding a dramatic twist to the finale, revelations about backstage relationships stirred up the rivalries. Jorja Freeman, Stewart's partner, is married to Samantha Jade’s right-hand man, Viglio, which brought an extra layer of intrigue to the competition. Freeman's lighthearted comment about possibly being "exiled" to the couch ahead of the finale hinted at the friendly rivalries that fueled the event.
The final performances saw Jade and Gustavo Viglio's foxtrot scoring 38, and Ant Middleton and Alex Vladimirov's contemporary routine getting 36. Despite their commendable efforts, it was the audience votes that decided the ultimate winner. With the votes tallied, McCune and Waite were declared the champions, with Jade as the runner-up and Middleton in third place.
Lisa McCune's victory was met with overwhelming joy. She expressed her excitement, humorously noting that the Mirror Ball Trophy would keep her Logies company. The final leaderboard reflected McCune's superior performance with a score of 40 and 39, compared to Jade’s 38 and 38, and Middleton’s 34 and 36. As the season concluded, McCune's elegant and emotional final dance solidified her place as the 2024 champion, leaving a lasting impression on both the judges and the audience.
