Anna Ermakova has won the RTL dance show »Let's Dance«. The daughter of tennis star Boris Becker and model Angela Ermakova and her dance partner Valentin Lusin received the most viewer votes in the final on Friday evening. The 23-year-old accepted the trophy with a cheerful scream. At the same time, she broke a record for jury marks: In the final, she surpassed the series of the ten best ratings by Ella Endlich.
Ermakova floated across the dance floor during the live broadcast in a freestyle performance as Alice in Wonderland, among other things. Previously, she had performed a passionate tango and a slow waltz to perfection with Lusin. "I came from England to Germany to dance. I would never have thought that I would be welcomed here with such open arms," said the model, visibly moved, in a language mix of German and English.
Boris Becker previously wished his daughter every success on Instagram. "Dear Anna, today is your big day and the whole of Germany is rooting for you," Becker says in an Instagram video. "And no matter what the outcome, you've already taken the hearts of the Germans by storm. Your talent, discipline, performance and – even more so – your personality are outstanding. And I couldn't be prouder."
Ermakova relegated the actress and Youtuber Julia Beautx (24) with her dance partner Zsolt Sándor Cseke (35) to second place and the ex-gymnast Philipp Boy (35) with professional dancer Patricija Ionel (28) to third place. For the first time since 2018, two women were in the final.
