Ilona Maher recently interviewed with the People and got emotional while remembering the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ moments. While talking about the journey, she got emotional, and tears fell down from her eyes. But now, keeping all the emotions aside, the rugby star has thrown out her thoughts and turned her attention to one last competition run of her career. The passionate proponent of her fans, she’s said clearly that she is doing everything she can to become the victor.

Aiming to win the ‘Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy,’ Maher jokingly shared about her and Alan’s personalities, “We’re both annoying… We both don’t shut up. We’re similar… And also, having somebody who doesn’t tell you to ever tone yourself down. If anything, Alan tells me to be funny.” Both of them share a good bond, and their friendship is so good that fans also speculate that they are dating. It’s the finale of DWTS on November 26, and leaving emotions aside, Maher is rooting to ask a favor from fans.

In her recent Instagram story, Ilona Maher shed light on the significance of redemption in her final act and encouraged her fans to vote and let her win. As she deals with the intensifying pressure, she harnesses the intensity of her feelings to steal the show, impressing with her passionate performance that captures the essence of the DWTS season finale. She has asked to give all 20 votes for her by sending a message and through the DWTS website to win the mirror ball trophy. She wrote, “Vote for Ilona and Alan tonight,” and also penned down the process to vote.

Being a non-dancer, Ilona Maher has reached the DWTS final, and her mother shared insights about her dancing skills. Mieneke Maher, Ilona’s mother, was seen on the ‘Got It From My Momma podcast’, and she told how Ilona got these dancing skills. She said, “I was like, the six-week ballet course that I put her in when she was four years old must have helped. That’s what did it,” and laughed. Maher also shares behind-the-scenes videos and an emotional message for her partner Alan Bersten.

Ilona Maher’s tribute to her partner as DWTS comes to an end

Maher shared a powerful video message to her pro partner, Alan Bersten, thanking him for their ‘Dancing With The Stars’ journey. Maher gave a heartfelt tribute to Bersten, combining all the good times they have had during DWTS, and wrote a caption, “Thank you for everything, Alan,” like how he helped keep her strong. The video also has a sweet message: “Dear Alan, no matter what happens, whether we win or lose, I will forever cherish our time together.”

She previously shared a small video conveying a sweet message to fans with a BTS clip. She wrote in the caption, “We might miss us just as much as you will.” Together, Ilona and Alan have come a long way. Being a rugby star, it might have been tough for her to delve into the dancing world. She has proved all the critics wrong, who have doubted her and trolled her for her muscular body. Ilona Maher has also become the first-ever female to lift her male partner—she used her strength to make history.

As the final curtain is to be drawn on their journeys, a rugby star has a new identity now—a finalist in a dancing show. In fact, there are rumors of her participating in the dating show called ‘The Bachelorette. It is to be what the future holds for her: will she be named as a winner of DWTS season 33 or just left as a finalist? But even if she doesn’t win the show, still her fans will be proud of her.
