Back in 2004, a then Bec Cartwright was at the peak of her Home And Away fame and the ultimate triple-threat – singing, dancing and acting her way into hearts across the nation.

The All Seats Taken hitmaker was playing Hayley Smith Lawson on the iconic Aussie soapie when she decided to star on the very first season of Dancing With The Stars.

Technically a trained dancer, it came as no surprise when Bec Hewitt and her dance partner Michael Mizner (who is now married to Rachael Finch) took out the top spot beating One Nation politician Pauline Hanson to take home the Mirrorball trophy.

This was just about year before she tied the knot with her then-boyfriend, tennis player Lleyton Hewitt, who she now shares three children with.

And now 17 years since her triumphant victory on the debut season, the 37-year-old is set to make a dazzling comeback to the highly-anticipated Dancing With The Stars: All Stars series.

As she prepares to cha cha her way back to our living rooms, let’s take a trip down memory lane and relive Bec’s best moments on DWTS!
