Tom waltzes off with Strictly crown

Soap star Tom Chambers has won BBC reality show Strictly Come Dancing.

He beat Rachel Stevens and partner Vincent Simone into second place.

Chambers thanked his wife, who has agreed to postpone their honeymoon so he could practise for the show, saying: "I can't believe how jammy I am to have married you in the first place."

He also paid tribute to his partner Camilla Dallerup whom he said deserved the first prize.

Third place went to Lisa Snowdon, who was eliminated from the contest following the public vote.
Former contestants on this series, such as John Sergeant and Cherie Lunghi, returned for a final dance.
