Jill Wins Come Dancing Show
Former EastEnders star Jill Halfpenny has danced her way to victory in BB1's Strictly Come Dancing Champion of Champions.
The 29-year-old Geordie and her dancing partner Darren Bennett took the title in a special face-off show with six other couples.
They included BBC Breakfast host Natasha Kaplinsky, winner of the first series, and her partner Brendan Cole.
She was left unplaced.
Halfpenny won the second series of the BBC ballroom dancing show earlier this month.
That victory helped land her the lead role of Roxie in the West End musical Chicago.
Beaming after the show's host Bruce Forsyth announced the winner, the actress said: "I want to say thank you to everybody that voted for us, thanks."
Bennett added: "Today was a great show. We all worked really hard and all really enjoyed it."
Speaking about the other contestants he said: "We all get on so fantastically well. This is the last night we're going to dance together - lets party."
