Billy Crawford wins French ‘Dancing with the Stars’

MANILA, Philippines, November 14 ------ Actor and dancer Billy Crawford has won the latest edition of Danse avec les Stars, the French version of the popular American reality dance competition show Dancing with the Stars.

Billy’s wife Coleen Garcia shared the news on Instagram, congratulating the former Pilipinas Got Talent host and expressing how proud she is of her husband. Garcia herself joined Crawford as a “mystery dancer” for a routine to Calvin Harris’ “Stay With Me” earlier in the season.

Crawford and dancing partner Fauve Hautot have been front-runners ever since the first episode, where they earned a standing ovation. They made it to the finals of the 12th edition of the show with a near perfect score in the semi-finals. Prior to the finale airing, Crawford posted on Instagram to thank everyone who had been supporting him during this period.

Crawford, who was a wildly successful pop idol in France and Europe in the early 2000s, is the first ever Filipino to win the French dance competition show.
