Mark Curry wins Blue Peter Strictly Come Dancing special for Children in Need

After all six couples danced an energetic Jive to Elton John's I'm Still Standing, the judges crowned Mark victorious.
Mark, 56, is an actor, television and radio presenter and joined Blue Peter in 1986.
During his time on the show, he did such things as being strapped to the sails of Outwood Windmill in Surrey and accidentally knocking the head off a man made of Lego.
He appeared extremely shocked to have beaten his fellow Blue Peter presenters, including Anthea Turner, Konnie Huq and Tim Vincent.

Mark had some stiff competition for the Pudsey glitterball though, as Anthea, 57, carried out a series of impressive lifts with her partner Brendan Cole.
The couple even climbed on the judges desk for one risky lift, but it wasn't enough for them to triumph.
Meanwhile Tim, 44, showed off his strength as he lifted his own partner Dianne Buswell over his head and spun her round.
Konnie and Diane-Louise Jordan looked spectacular in their fringed dresses and were praised for their flicks and kicks, while the youngest participant, Radzi Chinyanganya, 31, did the standing splits which impressed head judge Shirley Ballas.
