“Dancing with the Stars” winner Bobby Bones admits he took home the Mirrorball Trophy in 2018 despite being “the worst dancer.”
In an Instagram video posted on Monday, the 44-year-old radio host addressed “DWTS” co-host Julianne Hough and country singer Mickey Guyton, saying they disagreed with his win on the 27th season of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” the night before.
“I was the worst dancer! I’m proud of that,” Bones said. “I tried as hard as anyone in the history of the show, but I can’t dance now, I couldn’t dance then.”
He acknowledged that it was his fan base, not his skills, that made him and dancer Sharna Burgess champions.
“We did it together. I am the greatest champion of all time. I didn’t say I was the greatest dancer, I said I was the greatest champion of all time because I am the man of the people,” he said. “I am the man you chose.”
“Julianne Hough, no slander from me,” he said, later adding that he thought she was “cool” even though he seemed annoyed with Guyton.
“Mickey Guyton, of all people, was like ‘Bobby Bones,'” he said, grimacing.
On Sunday night’s episode of “WWHL,” Hough was asked if there was a “DWTS” winner she “strongly disagreed with.” After Guyton whispered a response, Hough let the country star have the floor.
“I just said Bobby Bones,” Guyton told Cohen.
“I actually agree with you, and I think it’s because of the fan base, right? This show is all about the fan base. He wasn’t the best dancer, I agree,” Hough said. “But people love him.”

Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess performed a “mirrorball miracle”
In the season 27 finale, Bones and Burgess defeated the other finalists – Milo Manheim and Witney Carson, Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe, and Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten – in the so-called “Mirrorball Miracle” by winning the majority of votes.
They ended the season with their first perfect score in a freestyle dance to “The Greatest Show” by Panic! at the Disco, a result that shocked the duo so much that they fell to the floor.
Bones and Burgess “had never gotten a nine before, and we were getting tens,” Bones told USA TODAY at the time.
“I just didn’t think I was going to win,” said Bones, calling his performance “the best dance of my life.”
