Utah's own Donny Osmond won Tuesday night's final round of the ABC hit "Dancing With the Stars."
The Osmond family is practically the Royal Family of Utah, and 51 year old Donny has long been a favorite son in the Beehive state. Handsome, yet wholesome, Donny appeals to a wide audience and has had past success as a pop singer along with his sister Marie.
Tuesday's win was a great moment for the show and for Donny himself, who boasted that he's "bringing it home to Utah." Some of Donny's competitors were Kelly Osborne (Ozzy's daughter) and singer M'ya.
Osmond's victory marks the third by a Utahn. Sister Marie, who participated in a previous season of the show, says she's proud of her brother. Osmond jokingly commented on the show that if "you had a sister named Marie, and she was going to rub it in your face for the rest of your life, you would want to win it, too!"
Donny and Marie join a host of Utah dancers who have stepped out onto the DWTS floor. Julianne (and brother Derek) Hough, Chelsie Hightower, and Louie Van Amstel are among the professional dancers from Utah who have worked on the show.
Donny lives in Provo with his wife and children.
