Ahead of the finale, Benji was tipped to be the winner by the bookies and had impressive odds throughout the series.
Winning means everything for Benji, who was supporting Souths Cares, an independent not-for-profit institution, closely affiliated with his former football club, the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Their charter is to support disadvantaged, marginalised and Indigenous youth and families with a specific focus on education, training, health and employment.
In total, Benji raised $487,105 for Souths Cares from his combined efforts on the show – a win that will undoubedly go a long way.
