Brooke Lisa Burke (born September 8, 1971) is an American television personality, model, and occasional dancer known for hosting Wild On! (1999–2002) and Rock Star (2005–2006) and for winning the seventh season of Dancing with the Stars.Brooke Burke is among a shrinking roster of knockout babes who've appeared on AskMen.com's Top 99 list every year since 2002. After finishing as No. 6 for four years running, this former Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie model fell to No. 43 in 2006, but bounced back up to a respectable No. 25 in 2007's poll.

Her gorgeous mix of French, Irish and Portuguese ancestry have kept her a favorite with readers even though new talent keeps appearing each year.
She's taken the adrenalized pace of her Wild On! days down a few notches since settling into motherhood, but that doesn't mean she's lost any of the mesmerizing sex appeal on display from the days when she was exploring exotic locations. Brooke Burke has taken excellent care of herself, and after a growing troop of babies, she offers her secrets on how to get back into shape at BabooshBaby.com. Not that we'd ever read them ourselves, of course, but we're definitely pleased with the results.
