Dave Letele

If you haven't heard the Dave Letele story , you're in for a real treat. Dave (aka ‘The Brown ButtaBean’) has led an incredible life that’s taken him from footy to failure, crime to community, fat to fit and riches to rags — and back again. His journey is nothing short of extraordinary - and his story telling is world class.

Best Surprise: Dave lost over 80Kgs as he recovered from ‘rock bottom’ in Australia to professional boxer in New Zealand. The boxing character he played was hated, but his inspirational weight loss journey earned him hundreds of thousands of fans on social media.

Best Learn: 'No excuses'. His simple advice came from Kiwi UFC star Mark Hunt. Dave was born the son of an Auckland Mongrol Mob leader - and had every reason 'not' to succeed in life. But he found a way using these four tips:
1. Start
2. Stay consistent
3. Be around good people
4. Don't let excuses get in your way

Best laugh: Not for the first time, Seamus told a guest he 'hated' his persona in and out of the boxing ring. Dave shared some hilarious press conference stories, taking us 'behind the scenes' of being the bad guy.
