Strictly's Jowita Przystal made history on BBC show with Hamza Yassin victory in final

Jowita Przystal made history in Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing final, becoming the first female pro to win the show in her first series.

After three months of ballroom competition and countless eliminations, the new series of Strictly came to an end on Saturday night as Jowita, together with Hamza Yassin, saw off competition from Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, Fleur East and Vito Coppola and Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu to snatch the Glitterball trophy.

While the BBC never reveal Strictly voting figures, plenty of viewers at home are convinced that Helen and Gorka must have come pretty close to winning given, that, like Hamza and Jowita, they never once landed in the dance-off. But in the end it was CBeebies star Hamza and former Greatest Dancer winner Jowita were victorious, despite finishing bottom of the leaderboard on the night.
