The winner of the BBC TV dancing contest show Strictly Come Dancing has been announced

Ore Oduba beat 15 other celebrities to lift the glitter ball after the show’s finale on Saturday.

Ore will be the first Nigerian and black person to win the show in its entire 10 years history

Television presenter Ore broke down in tears as he and partner Joanne Clifton were crowned Strictly Come Dancing champions 2016.

The BBC news and sports broadcaster had received no dance training prior to taking part on the show and finished top of the leaderboard on Saturday night.

The pair collected the glitterball trophy ahead of favourite Danny Mac and partner Oti Mabuse and former pop star Louise Redknapp, who was partnered with Joanne’s brother, Kevin Clifton.

Oduba and Clifton’s 118 was enough to top the final leaderboard of the series, with their rival couples both finishing on 116.
