Alesha Dixon Wins Strictly Come Dancing

Alesha Dixon has won Strictly Come Dancing 2007.

Alesha managed to overcome crippling panic attacks just hours before the show, and went on to perform five amazing dance numbers during the final on BBC One last night.

After the result was revealed, Alesha said:

“I can’t believe it. I feel like I’m going to wake up and it was just a dream.

“It was worth all the bruises, all the lack of sleep, all the painful cuts and sore joints, all the tears and all the 380 hours of training.

“I have spent more time with Matthew than with my family. I’m going to keep dancing – and with Matthew if that’s OK.”

Bruce Forsyth praised her, saying: “You could become the biggest female star in this country. What an act you could be!”

And Alesha’s partner Matthew Cutler added: “You are a star in the making.

“You’ve worked so hard. You are just like a professional dancer. You give 150 per cent. You are a sheer joy. We’ve been training from ten in the morning until ten at night. I’d like to thank Alesha for being so dedicated.”
