"Dancing with the Stars" winner Bobby Bones is owning up to taking home the Mirrorball Trophy in 2018 despite being "the worst dancer."
In an Instagram video posted Monday, the 44-year-old radio host spoke out on "DWTS" co-host Julianne Hough and country singer Mickey Guyton saying they disagreed with his Season 27 win on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" the previous night.
“I was the worst dancer! I take pride in that," Bones said. "Now I tried as hard as anybody in the history of the show but I can’t dance now, couldn’t dance then."
He acknowledged that it was his fanbase, not his skills, that made him and dancer Sharna Burgess champions.
“We did it together. I’m the greatest champion ever. I didn’t say I was the greatest dancer, but the greatest champion ever, because I’m the man of the people," he said. "I’m the man that you guys selected.”

"Julianne Hough, no slander from me," he said, later adding he thinks she's "cool" though he appeared disgruntled with Guyton.
"Mickey Guyton, of all people, was like 'Bobby Bones,'" he said as he scrunched up his face.
In Sunday night's "WWHL" episode, Hough was asked if there was a "DWTS" winner she "strongly disagreed" with. After Guyton whispered an answer, Hough let the country star take over.
"I just said Bobby Bones," Guyton told Cohen.
“I actually agree with you, and I think it’s because of the fanbase, right? It’s all about the fanbase on that show. He was not the best dancer, I agree," Hough said. "But people love him."

Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess pulled off a 'Mirrorball Miracle'
In the Season 27 finale, Bones and Burgess beat out the other finalists — Milo Manheim and Witney Carson Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe and Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten — by winning the popular vote in what was dubbed the "Mirrorball Miracle."
They closed out the season with their first perfect score in a freestyle dance to Panic! at the Disco’s "The Greatest Show," a result that left the duo so shocked they fell to the floor.
Bones and Burgess "never even received a nine before, and we got 10s," Bones told USA TODAY at the time.
"I just didn't think I was going to win," Bones said, calling his performance the "best dancing night I have ever had in my entire life."
