Rose Ayling-Ellis made history by becoming the first deaf winner of the BBC competition.
Ayling-Ellis performed her Couple's Choice routine again, which saw herfor 20 seconds as a tribute to the deaf community and an illustration of how people with a hearing impairment can still dance to music.
Judge Anton Du Beke held back tears as he told the actress: "I can't speak, it's so beautiful. Forgive me for not looking at you or I will cry." Speaking to Claudia Winkleman before the result was announced, Whaite said: "It would be nice [to win the glitterball], I have got space on my shelf because my mum smashed my Bake Off trophy.Image source,John Whaite and Johannes Radebe in their Pirates of the Caribbean themed performance of the Paso Doble
Speaking on the BBC's It Takes Two ahead of the show, she said: "We literally had the best experience and on Monday... my ankle just gave way with my ligament rupture, we were gutted, we were ready to smash it."
