Chris Judd praises Ben Cousins as he advances to Dancing With The Stars semi-finals - after the AFL legend said the show will help him rebuild his life


Chris Judd has shared a tribute to Ben Cousins as the troubled footballer makes a career comeback.

Ben won the Brownlow Medal in 2005 and captained the West Coast Eagles from 2001 to 2005, securing the club's best and fairest awards four out of those season. In 2021, Susan Backshell, who has acted as a mentor for Cousins since his last stint on jail, told Daily Mail Australia that he remains solely focused on his kids. Ben's dramatic fall from grace was well documented from 2007 as he publicly battled a drug addiction and coped with his failed relationship with Maylea Tinecheff.
