Chris and Wes crowned Got To Dance champs
Duo Chris and Wes have been crowned winners of Sky 1's Got To Dance. The street dance act - created by 20 year olds Chris Donnelly and Wesley Clack - carried off the £250,000 prize after wowing the audience with their hop hop-inspired moves. The dance teachers from Hayes, west London, said they were stunned to win after battling it out with seven other acts on the show, hosted by Davina McCall. Sky said the cash prize was the biggest ever to be won from a television talent show. The pair lifted the crown after two "mash-up" performances featuring Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, Like I Love You by Justin Timberlake, Ante Up by Busta Rhymes and Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre. Judge Ashley Banjo, pictured with fellow judges Kimberly Wyatt and Adam Garcia, said: "I knew you guys were special from the moment I saw you. Your dancing and personality is amazing. "I am always going to be a massive fan, you are the most unique act we have ever seen on Got To Dance." The dancers beat fellow finalists Alleviate, Dance Dynamix, Lauren, Razzle Dazzle, Trinity Warriors, Turbo and Two's Company. CLICK below to watch Chris and Wes perform in the Got To Dance final
