Images from the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2008

Tom Chambers has been crowned Strictly Come Dancing 2008 champion

Tom Chambers, Rachel Stevens and Lisa Snowdon all made it through to the final

Rachel and Vincent Simone were the first of the three couples to perform their foxtrot

Tom and Camilla Dallerup won praise for theirs...

...but Lisa Snowdon and Brendan Cole's foxtrot scored full marks from the judges

John Sergeant was among former contestants who returned to the show for the final

Rachel won more raves for her rumba

Tom and Camilla reprised their salsa from earlier in the series

While Lisa received another full house for her cha cha cha

As the results of the first round came in, Lisa was keeping everything crossed....

Tom and Camilla were thrilled to learn they had made the final two

...as were Rachel and Vincent

However it was time to say goodbye to Lisa Snowdon, who finished third

Tom and Rachel then participated in a group Viennese Waltz

Austin Healy was another former contestant who returned to perform

While Lisa returned to the floor to perform her showdance

Rachel's freestyle dance, to the song Flashdance, had a distinctly 80s flavour

Whereas Tom's captured the spirit of Hollywood musical glamour

He won raves from the judges for the routine

But who would the winners be - Rachel and Vincent....

...or Tom and Camilla?

It's Tom and Camilla!

The pair were overwhelmed by their victory

The actor thanked his new wife Clare, who joined him on stage

And he embraced Camilla, who was the professional series winner for the first time

Finally, the other celebrities gathered round as the new champion lifted the trophy. Same time next year, then...
