Looks like Anna Delvey did take something away from “Dancing With the Stars” after all.

The “fake heiress”-turned-fashion-publicist returned to the ballroom for Tuesday night’s three-hour finale in Los Angeles, where she spoke to Page Six about her second chance to make an impression — and leave on a more grateful note this time.

The queen of “nothing” admitted she did, in fact, “enjoy” it.

Anna Delvey and her “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Ezra Sosa, spoke to Page Six following Tuesday’s finale. Page Six The queen of “nothing” admitted she had a lot of “fun” making her highly anticipated return to the ballroom. Disney

“I feel great. Yeah, it was so much fun. It was so exciting,” Delvey, who has been under house arrest since 2022, told us of her highly anticipated return and reunion with pro partner Ezra Sosa.

“I think this time [it] was so much more lighthearted because there was no pressure and it was not a competition. We were just here to enjoy it and to have fun.”

Delvey clarified, however, that she still can’t wrap her head around why anyone found her now-viral exit to be so controversial.

“I’m not running for, like, the Secretary of the Treasury, so I don’t understand why people ever got so upset,” she explained. “Because in the end, it’s not really consequential for, like, other people’s lives. So it’s ridiculous when you want to get upset about anything that happens on the show.”

Delvey also dished on her plans for Thanksgiving, as Season 33 of the show wrapped just two days before the national holiday.

“I’ll be in upstate New York with Kelly Cutrone and some friends,” she shared, referring to the PR icon who has become one of her closest confidants and biggest supporters.

“We’re going to be eating out. We are not cooking or cleaning. Yay!”

As Page Six previously reported, Delvey (real name: Anna Sorokin) shocked viewers following her and Sosa’s elimination from the show on Sept. 24.

When co-host Julianne Hough asked the fraudster what she would “take away” from the competition, she savagely responded with a one-word answer: “Nothing.”

The elimination came just one week after Delvey made her “Dancing With the Stars” debut wearing a sparkly costume complete with a bedazzled ankle monitor.

Speaking to Page Six after the premiere, she explained how she joined forces with the show’s wardrobe team to give her court-ordered tracking device a special touch.

“Well, we collaborated with the costume department. Obviously, we could not leave the ankle bracelet naked, so we decided to match it [to my dress],” she revealed.

“And it’s like a little sleeve,” she added, noting that the rhinestones were applied onto fabric – not “directly” glued onto the device. “So, it was a fun little thing to do!”

Delvey first made headlines for posing as a German heiress and tricking businesses and individuals out of more than $250,000 from 2013 to 2017. The fashionista served time in prison and was the subject of Netflix’s “Inventing Anna.” 

In order to compete on “DWTS” — and return for the finale — the ex con artist had to get special permission from ICE that would allow her to travel from her home base of New York to Los Angeles, where the dance competition series is filmed.

“My primary residence is still in New York … but for now I am allowed to travel back and forth [for] work in LA,” Delvey told Page Six when asked about the terms. “And I just keep in touch with my supervisors.”

Tuesday night’s finale ended with “Bachelor” alum Joey Graziadei and his pro partner, Jenna Johnson, being announced as the Season 33 champions of “Dancing With the Stars.”

The two were presented the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy by the dance pro’s husband — Season 32 winner Val Chmerkovskiy — and his former dance partner, Xochitl Gomez.

“I don’t know if that’s ever happened in ‘Dancing With the Stars’ history,” Johnson told Page Six of the extra special moment for their family. “I’m just so, so grateful. This has been my favorite season ever.”
