His partner Joanne was equally emotional and said:
“Thank you. I can’t believe it. Thank you for working so hard. You’ve become a dancer.”
The pair collected the prestigious glitterball trophy ahead of tournament favorite Danny Mac and partner Oti Mabuse as well as former pop star Louise Redknapp, who was partnered with Joanne’s brother, Kevin Clifton.

He bagged back to back two perfect scores during the evening; first one was for his Showdance performance, which wowed judges and fans alike with his and partner Joanne Clifton's gravity-defying routine. The couple then scored another perfect score of 40 for their jive, set to Runaway Baby.
