See Alex in action, one more time, below…
Speaking about her time on the show, Burke said:
“I really don’t want to cry. It’s been a tough journey and for it to be the last one with you [partner Gorka Marquez], I’m gutted about that.’
It has brought so much joy to my life. I am so so happy, let’s just enjoy the rest of the night.
I really believe my family would be proud, I think my mum would be the proudest mother. To know I continued with her dream and was part of something so great, and something so magical…”
The series was won by actor Joe McFadden.
