The Capital Radio presenter, 27, and partner Angela Egan received the most viewer votes, beating ex-Corrie star Faye Brookes, 33, and Matt Evers into second place.

In third place was former athlete Colin Jackson, 54, and partner Klabera Komini, who had perfect scores for both of their dances but forfeited their chance to skate to Bolero.

After finishing his version of the routine made famous by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, Sonny was asked by host Phillip Schofield how he felt. “Genuinely, I’ve just completed life,” he laughed.

INJURIES

Jayne said: “For someone who couldn’t skate a few months ago, that was fantastic. Seeing him improve week after week is just a joy.”

Co-host Holly Willoughby said last night’s final, following a series blighted by injuries and withdrawals because of Covid, was “the closest we’ve had”.

The bookies had Faye, who skated as a child, as the favourite to win the final, which was brought forward by a week owing to a lack of contestants.

Judges Ashley Banjo, John Barrowman and ex-Olympic champs Jayne and Chris were hugely impressed with Sonny’s progress.

They said he had brought “fun and personality” to the contest. “I’ve fallen in love with skating,” he said ahead of his win. “I’m going to miss it. I’ll remember this experience forever.”

Faye was gracious in defeat, saying: “It couldn’t have gone to a better guy.”
