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."
Her first two performances on the show have been viewed a combined 48 million times on Facebook.
Sellars is the franchisor of PhysiPole Studios, which now has nine studios in Victoria, five in Queensland and two in the ACT/NSW and one in South Australia.
