by · Birmingham Live

Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri was left in floods of tears as Claudia Winkleman made a big reveal during the final. The Love Island star and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec were already emotional after getting a perfect 40 score for their incredible Showdance during the show's big final on Saurday night,

But host Claudia went one better to top the moment as she revealed Tasha's brother - who lives in Australia and hasn't seen his sister dance in the competition - was in the studio. Tasha had explained how she was upset her brother hadn't been there to watch her dance.

Claudia said: "I have to ask you about your family because they've supported you from all over the world, tell me about them." Tasha replied: "My dad, my mum, Andrew, everyone. Thank you for supporting me.

"I'm so lucky to have such a great circle around me who truly love me, uplift me, keep me strong, keep me going and keep me motivated. This is for them."

She said: "My brother is just so supportive, I really miss him. He can't be here today, but I miss him a lot."

Claudia stopped her, saying: "Tasha. He wanted to watch you dance live. He's here!"

Tasha burst into tears as her brother Alex walked into the studio and ran to give her a hug. The pair had an emotional moment as they held each other after being away from each other for so long.

Claudia welcomed Alex to the show, saying: "Alex thank you so much for coming, welcome to Strictly Come Dancing." She then told the audience: "He's just landed."

Alex then delivered an emotional message to his sister. He told her: "I can't describe it...watching your little sister dance and follow her dreams, it's just so special."

Tasha is going up for the glitterball trophy against JLS sar JB Gill, comedian Chris McCausland and actress Sarah Hadland.
