Australian ballroom dancing star Kym Johnson has teamed up with 1970s teen idol Donny Osmond to win America's version of TV reality show Dancing with the Stars.

The 33-year-old blonde from Sydney and 51-year-old Osmond were crowned champions in front of a U.S. TV audience of more than 20 million, Australian Associated Press reports Wednesday.

Singer Mya was the second-placed celebrity while the surprise of the season, Kelly Osbourne, daughter of heavy metal legend OzzyOsbourne, came third.

Johnson is no stranger to winning Dancing with the Stars. In 2005 she teamed with TV presenter Tom Williams to win the Australia's Dancing with the Stars.

Johnson was engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Watson at the time but ended the relationship and became involved with Williams.

In other seasons she was paired with TV talk show host Jerry Springer, billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team Mark Cuban and Las Vegas comedian Penn Jillette.
