Australia's Got Talent success for Ballarat's Kristy Sellars
Kristy Sellars during her Australia's Got Talent Grand Final performance.
Ballarat's Kristy Sellars has climbed to the top of the pole, winning Australia's Got Talent after a public vote on Sunday night.
With only nine days to prepare from her semi-final success to the final, pole dancer Sellars and her visual artist Ryan Talbot, worked non-stop to create a dazzling spectacle which wowed the judges and the audience at home.
Sellars said she had been training up to 12 hours a day in the past week.
"I've never trained so hard in my life," she told The Courier. "Even this grand final show has a more complex costume than the first two, so even just rehearsing that itself was kind of a mission."
