Mandy Ritchie is an Australian professional dancer, best known for her role as one of Bert Newton's on-screen assistants on Bert's Family Feud.
She began formal dance training at the age of 3, studying classical dance, jazz and tap at the Hart School of Dance.
Mandy worked as an actor in several musical theatre productions in Melbourne, such as 42nd Street & Chicago, while winning two Guild Awards for best new talent and best dancer. She also performed the role of Gloria for the touring production of Oh What A Night in Melbourne & Sydney.
After appearing with Kathryn Trapani as dancers in an early promotional spot for Bert's Family Feud in January 2006, Bert Newton decided to hire both ladies full-time as his co-hostesses for the revived game show.
Whilst appearing on the Feud, she is also co-principal -- along with her sister -- of the Hart School of Dance, located in Sassafras, Victoria.
