It came after the four finalists - including Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell and Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola - had to perform three dances each in a bid to impress viewers.

But their near-perfect 119 points out of a possible 120 wasn't enough on the night as comedian Chris and professional dancer Dianne lifted got the huge backing of the public in order to lift the famous Glitterball trophy after 13 weeks of dancing came to an end.

Alongside pictures taken both on and off-screen during the Strictly final, Tasha took to social media and said: "@bbcstrictly after 13 weeks thank you.. when I say doing this show has just been so magical I can’t even put it into words & surprising me with my brother flying in from Australia!!! This was extra special having him there watching the final, thank you so much @iamtheo for making this happen.

"@aljazskorjanec you made magical beautiful dances that’ll be remembered for a long time from our American smooth, waltz, show dance and many more. Everyday we laughed & smiled, you are what strictly is about - your passion and positivity radiates from within on this show.

"I have to give a huge shout out to @arduinobertoncello for our show dance, thank you so much for making the show dance EPIC! you really helped me bring out my inner ginger & doing this style I LOVED IT!!!"
