Over the course of the last 12 weeks, 15 celebrity contestants were narrowed down to just three, with Bobby Brazier, Ellie Leach and Layton Williams going head-to-head in Saturday’s live final.
In the end, it was Ellie and her professional partner Vito Coppola who came out on top after winning over the British public with their routine, earning them the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
“I actually genuinely can not believe this,” an excited Ellie said after her win, before telling partner Vito: “This is for you!”
During the final, each couple performed three dances, including two routines from earlier in the series and a “Showdance” to show off the skills they’d acquired in the past three months.
Bobby’s “Showdance” was inspired by the film La La Land, while Ellie’s was set to the hits of Jennifer Lopez and Layton performed a routine to the Aladdin classic Friend Like Me.
Although the former Coronation Street star struggled with a particularly tricky lift during her “Showdance”, she later earned her first perfect score of the series when she and Vito delivered a reprise of their American Smooth.
Strictly may now be over for another year, but fans of the show do have the upcoming festive special to look forward to, with six brand new stars being put through their paces in this year’s Christmas Day offering.
