Drew Scott -- 12 things to know about the 'Dancing with the Stars' celebrity

Drew Scott is probably pretty shocked he made it to the Dancing with the Stars finals, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be there.


Drew is a 39-year-old realtor and entrepreneur who has also dabbled in some acting. He is best known for his starring role on HGTV's Property Brothers alongside his identical twin brother Jonathan Scott.

Drew and his professional partner Emma Slater advanced week after week on Dancing with the Stars without ever really topping the judges' leaderboard.

Drew is not the best dancer on the show when it comes to technique, but his spirit, spunk and determination have kept him in the running. It's also pretty clear that he has loyal fans.

Drew beat out Victoria Arlen for a spot in the finals -- which seemed to surprise them both -- but at the end of the day, Dancing with the Stars is all about teaching celebrities to dance, many of whom have never had a dance lesson in their lives.


So while some might argue Drew's position in the finals is a little unfair, others might say he should win the whole thing for what he's manage to accomplish.

Until viewers can see in the finals how much Drew has improved since that start of the Season 25 competition, here is some information about him.

Below is a list of 12 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Drew Scott:
