Kevin Clifton is clearly very emotional over his win with Stacey Dooley on Strictly tonight – and has posted a heartfelt video of thanks where hes holding back tears.

Stacey and Kevin raised the glitterball trophy tonight – marking Kevins first ever win on the show after six years in the series and making it to the final five times.

Speaking to the camera, Kevins make-up is running down his face as he tries to hold it together for Strictlys Twitter followers, and almost manages it.

Alongside Stacey, he said: Thank you so much for everyone that voted. This girl so deserves it – shes been absolutely brilliant. Thank you, each and every single one of you for voting for us.

Viewers rose to their defence early in the competition after they accused judge Craig Revel-Horwood of undermarking them and Joe Sugg.

However, they did enough to be crowned this years champions – causing Kevin to break down in tears.
