ELLIE Fergusson has won The Greatest Dancer.
The student will take home the £50,000 prize money and the chance to perform on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, beating favourites Harry and Eleiyah.
The duo left their captain Cheryl in tears after their second performance on tonight's show.
They re-created their emotional audition and it left the former Girls Aloud star sobbing in her seat and bursting with pride at the two dancers.
She told them: "First of all I want to say thank you. Thank you for being amazing, thank you for trusting me on your journey.
"I'm going to miss you terribly but whatever you go on to do from here you're going to be great at whatever the outcome of tonight is."
James and Oliver were eliminated from the show first.
James thanked the viewers for all of their support as they left the competition.
He said: "I'm feeling so so grateful for all of you guys who have allowed us to do this. I'm thankful for Matthew, I mean what can I say."
Their captain Matthew Morrison said: "They showed up every week and they did the best they could do. They did the best they could do. I can't even speak."
It was also revealed the show will be returning for a second series next year.
