Strictly fans were left in tears after Hamza Yassin offered up some life advice following his victory this evening.
The wildlife cameraman and his professional dance partner Jowita Przystał sobbed during tonight's live final after beating Helen Skelton, Molly Rainford, Fleur East and their respective partners to be crowned the winners of this year's series of the BBC show.
Hamza and Jowita were overcome by emotion as they lifted the Glitterball Trophy after presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman revealed the public had voted to make them their champions.
"Words cannot describe how I feel right now," an emotional Hamza admitted after receiving the news he had won.

After paying tribute to his dance partner, calling her "an angel disguised as a human being", the 32-year-old then shared some life advice with viewers watching at home.
"Number one, surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when you enter room," the Strictly champion began when sharing his three top tips for life.
"Two, the top of one mountain is the bottom of the next so keep climbing," the star continued, "and three, slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be."

Fans took to social media to gush over the star following his emotional victory speech.
"Well done Hamza and Jowita - great advice for all of us ‘surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you’ #StrictlyFinal," one viewer quipped on Twitter this evening.
Another mused: "Life lessons with Hamza felt a bit like when I was leaving for university and dad gave me a little farewell advice speech #Strictly."

"Hamza, you gorgeous gorgeous man. I'm in tears. He is what #Strictly is all about, and I am SO SO proud of him and Jowita! What beautiful souls, and what incredible advice he gave in his winning speech," a third declared, as another fan added: "Well deserved winner #StrictlyComeDancing and some excellent life advise [sic] #Hamza."
The wildlife cameraman was left stunned after they triumphed during tonight's final of the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition, with the pair now following in the footsteps of last year's winners Giovanni Pernice and EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis. It was a hard fought contest this year, with four celebrities left in the running ahead of the final.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman looked their usual glam selves this evening as they returned to host the BBC final, whilst the judges - Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, Anton du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood - showed off their sparkliest numbers for the occasion.
