Strictly Come Dancing is over for another year! The TV dance show, which sees celebrities paired up with professional dancers to battle it out over 13 weeks to take the Glitterball Trophy, came to an end during the final tonight (Saturday 14th December), and Kelvin Fletcher won the crown with his partner Oti Mabuse!

After entering the competition late as a replacement for Made In Chelsea's Jamie Laing, former Emmerdale star Kelvin has consistently wowed the judges and the audiences with his incredible routines alongside his partner, Oti Mabuse.

Each of the three finalists did an amazing job to get to the last stage of the competition, as there have been some pretty impressive candidates this year.

Karim, Kelvin and Emma each performed three dances in the final - Kelvin and his partner Oti performed their Judges' Pick of the Rumba to 'Ain't No Sunshine' from Week 4, and the Showdance was 'Shout' by The Isley Brothers. Their Couples' Choice dance was their first routine of the series - a Samba to 'La Vida Es Un Carnaval' by Celia Cruz.

Karim and his partner Amy were requested by the judges to perform again their routine from Week 7, 'Mr Pinstripe Suit' by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, with a Showdance to 'A Million Dreams' by P!nk and their Couple's Choice, picking their Jive to 'You Can't Stop the Beat' from Hairspray that they performed in the Quarter-Finals.

Emma and Anton performed their Judges' Pick of the Charleston to 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' from Musicals Week, and did a Showdance to 'Let Yourself Go' by Irving Berlin as well as their Couple's Choice of the Viennese Waltz to 'Send in the Clowns' by Barbra Streisand that they performed in Week 4.

Huge congratulations to Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse for winning the Glitterball Trophy for the 2019 series!
