Harry Judd Wins TV Dance Contest

Harry Judd has triumphed to become the winner of this year's (11) series of U.K. show Strictly Come Dancing.

The McFly drummer, who was partnered by professional dancer Aliona Vilani, beat actress Chelsee Healey and Australian singer Jason Donovan in the live final on Saturday night (17Dec11).

After impressing the judges and winning full marks for his Argentine Tango, Judd was named the winner of the contest and said as he collected the trophy, "All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported Aliona and I.

"I have had the most incredible experience, thank you. I've been on the best show on TV and I'm just honoured.

"I was so nervous when I first started, I didn't think I'd be able to do it, but Aliona has got me through it".

When host Bruce Forsyth announced the results, the musician's bandmates Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones all stormed on to the stage to congratulate the star.

Donovan was placed third in the show, with Healey coming second.
