And Christopher Dean could be seen fighting back tears too, as was last year’s winner Regan Gascoigne who sat in the audience and watched along.
Judge Christopher Dean, said: “It is an emotional dance and when you get to do it, you feel it and that’s what we wanted to pass on to you and you felt it tonight”, while Jayne Torvill added that what she had liked about their version was they had lots of moments from the original but “still made it their own”.
Meanwhile confident TOWIE star Joey impressed with a mixture of pivots and lifts.
After being declared the winner, Wilson said: “If Dancing On Ice has anything to say of entertainment, we’ve got 11 human beings all different shapes and sizes stood on this stage tonight with an allocated time to get good at something and we proved that we can do that.
“So what an inspirational show. If you put your mind to something and you work hard you can achieve anything you want.”
