The pair triumphantly lifted the glitterball on Saturday after being crowned the winners of the 23rd series of the BBC One dance programme.

The night was full of emotion and teary-eyed presenters and cast members as it also marked the final live show fronted by presenting duo Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly.

Following the victory, Carney and Gu shared a joint video thanking viewers for their support.

Carney said: “We can’t believe it but we just want to say thank you so, so much for all your support, all your votes, all your kind words.
