East Lancashire's dancing star Natalie Gumede has missed out on lifting the Strictly glitter ball.
Together with partner Artem Chigvinstev the former Colne schoolgirl topped the judges leader board with 119 points out of a possible 120.
But model Abbey Clancy and Aljaz Skorjanec won the coveted award following a public vote.
BBC Breakfast tv presenter Susanna Reid and parter Kevin Clifton were also runners-up in the live final of Strictly Come Dancing.
In total six million votes were cast.
