Alesha and Matthew Strictly champs

Singer Alesha Dixon and her professional dance partner Matthew Cutler are the new 'Strictly Come Dancing' champions.
In the closest and most exciting final in the show's history, they faced 'EastEnders' star Matt Di Angelo and his professional dance partner Flavia Cacace.
Each couple performed five dances: their favourite Latin and Ballroom routines, a special dance with music selected by the judges, a Viennese Waltz and a Freestyle finale.
When the voting lines closed, it was impossible for many viewing at home to chose between the two couples.
On winning, an ecstatic Dixon paid tribute to her dance partner Cutler, with the professional praising her for the dedication she had shown throughout the series.
'Strictly Come Dancing' returns to BBC One for its Christmas special on Christmas Day at 8pm.
