Who are all the Strictly Come Dancing celebrity winners and their professional partners?

JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, and Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell were the last duos standing ahead of their biggest test to date in the contest: performing three different routines.

And what a show it was, with all of them earning at least one perfect score from the judges, who were brought to tears on multiple occasions, before comedian Chris McCausland was crowned the winner alongside Dianne Buswell.

"The whole series of Strictly 2024 has been utterly remarkable," said head judge Shirley Ballas. "It's been an honour to have a front row seat to the best show on television.

"The cast have been truly wonderful and the dancing has been off the chart. I’ve loved being with my fellow judges and getting involved in the fun. It's been a blast."

It was former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach who won last year's competition, following on from cameraman Hamza Yassin in 2022.

But which other famous faces have won Strictly Come Dancing? And who were they partnered with?

Here are all of the winners of Strictly Come Dancing.

Season 22 - Chris McCausland (2024)

Chris McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell quickly Waltzed their way into the hearts of the Great British public.

"It's astonishing, I don't know what to say," said the comedian, who is the competition's first blind contestant, on lifting the glitter ball.

"I honestly thought I could go out on the first week, and I know no one goes out on the first week, but I honestly thought I could.

"But we just lasted and lasted."

Chris's sense of humour, plus his partnership with Dianne, which blossomed over the weeks, quickly made them favourites and in the final, they achieved their first ever perfect score, before going on to win.

Season 21 - Ellie Leach (2023)

Ellie Leach became a firm favourite among Strictly Come Dancing viewers over the course of her journey on the competition, with the judges and fans alike impressed with her skill and determination to get better each week.

It was during the final when Ellie scored her first 40 of the season, alongside professional dancer Vito Coppola.

Reacting to their win, Ellie said she "genuinely cannot believe this", revealing that it was the first time she had ever seen Vito cry.

"For once, he's crying more than me," she said. Vito praised Ellie, saying she was a "diamond" who had made him "so proud".

"You have been so amazing, you are Strictly, you represent Strictly."

Season 20 - Hamza Yassin (2022)

Hamza Yassin and his professional dance partner Jowita Przystał lifted the Glitterball for season 20.

The couple triumphed in the final, with their three routines of a Salsa to Ecuador by Sash! featuring Rodriguez, their Couple's Choice to Jerusalema - Remix by Master KG featuring Burna Boy, and their Showdance to Let’s Face the Music and Dance by Irving Berlin impressing both the judges and, clearly, the viewers at home.

"Words can't describe how I feel. I want to thank one person in particular - Jowita, you are an angel disguised as a human being. That's what you are, you're amazing," Hamza said following his win.

Hamza and Jowita reunited in 2023 during the Strictly launch show for a dance they performed during the competition.

Season 19 - Rose Ayling-Ellis (2021)

EastEnders star Rose and partner Giovanni danced their way to the final to compete with John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, ultimately lifting the trophy.

They faced tough competition throughout series 19, but wowed us several times over with an amazing Argentine Tango and a moving tribute to the deaf community which included a silent segment during a routine.

The final saw Rose repeat this memorable dance and impress the judges with an almost perfect score. She now becomes Strictly's reigning ballroom queen.

Season 18 – Bill Bailey (2020)

The 2020 series of Strictly was different for a number of reasons due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the routines were as spectacular as ever – and after a very closely fought final, comedian Bill Bailey was voted winner.

Bill saw off competition from Maisie Smith, HRVY and Jamie Laing to win the Glitterball trophy – ensuring his professional partner Oti Mabuse achieved a Strictly first of winning two series in a row! At 55 years old, he also became the oldest winner in Strictly history.

Season 17 - Kelvin Fletcher (2019)

The bookies' favourite (and our favourite) to win the show in 2019 was Kelvin Fletcher, and he didn't disappoint. He and pro partner Oti lifted the Glitterball after a series of sensational performances.

Season 16 - Stacey Dooley (2018)

Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton were crowned the champions of Strictly Come Dancing 2018 and there was A LOT of screaming.

The pair beat Joe Sugg (who was the favourite) to lift the Glitterball Trophy, as well as the other runners up Faye Tozer and Ashley Roberts.

Season 15 - Joe McFadden (2017)

Joe McFadden became the second Holby City star to win Strictly Come Dancing when he and Katya Jones danced their way to victory in 2017.

He might not have been one of the favourites from the beginning, but he got better and better as the weeks went by, eventually claiming victory over Alexandra Burke, Debbie McGee and Gemma Atkinson in the live final.

Season 14 - Ore Oduba (2016)

Just like Jay McGuiness the year before him, it was Ore Oduba's amazing Jive with Joanne Clifton that wowed everyone and made him a serious contender.

In the final, he topped the leaderboard scoring a near perfect 39, 40 and 40 for his last three routines and the BBC Sports presenter took the Glitterball and the title of Strictly 2016 winner.

Season 13 - Jay McGuiness (2015)

After performing this Jive in Movies Week, it seemed like The Wanted singer Jay McGuiness's destiny as the winner of series 13 was all but sealed.

An amazing 3.5 million people have now watched the routine back on YouTube - and it's not hard to see why. Jay, along with professional Aliona Vilani, took the Glitterball in 2015 and beat soap stars Kellie Bright and Georgia May Foote into second and third place.

Season 12 - Caroline Flack (2014)

Before Love Island came calling, Caroline Flack was dancing up a storm in Elstree.

The TV presenter wowed not only with with her Charleston alongside professional Pasha Kovalev in the live final, but she also did the incredible feat of scoring three perfect 40s for all of her routines.

Season 11 - Abbey Clancy (2013)

Abbey Clancy and Aljaž Skorjanec were crowned the winners in 2013, and their ballroom routines regularly blew away both the judges and viewers at home.

The final saw Abbey beat both Natalie Gumede and Susanna Reid to win the 11th series and take home that Glitterball trophy.

Season 10 - Louis Smith (2012)

Olympic star Louis Smith was an early favourite to win, and unsurprisingly this amazing Showdance - showcasing all of his gymnastic ability - sealed the deal.

He might have been beaten in the judges' scores by Denise Van Outen (and equalled by fellow finalist Kimberley Walsh) but he won over viewers and took home the Glitterball along with professional partner Flavia Cacace.

Season 9 - Harry Judd (2011)

McFly's Harry Judd became the ninth winner of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.

Partnered with Aliona Vilani, the pair won out over Chelsee Healey and Jason Donovan by scoring the most in the final - and winning the most votes from the public.

Season 8 - Kara Tointon (2010)

EastEnders star Kara Tointon was an early favourite to take the Glitterball trophy. This wasn't just because of her prowess in the ballroom - it helped that there were plenty of whispers going round as to whether there was anything more between the actress and her professional partner Artem Chigvintsev.

Kara beat Matt Baker and Pamela Stephenson in the final, and sealed her win by kissing Artem. The pair dated for four years before announcing their split in 2014.

Season 7 - Chris Hollins (2009)

BBC Breakfast presenter Chris Hollins shimmied his way to victory in 2009 when he was partnered with Ola Jordan.

Admittedly it wasn't a vintage year (contestants that series included Rav Wilding and Phil Tufnell) but Chris beat Ricky Whittle (who scored more than him in the final. Awkward) and Ali Bastian to be crowned champion.

Season 6 - Tom Chambers (2008)

Holby City actor Tom Chambers beat Rachel Stevens and Lisa Snowdon in 2008 to claim victory in series six of Strictly Come Dancing.

Partnered with Camilla Dallerup, somewhat controversially Tom scored the lowest of the three finalists with the judges in the live final. However, it didn't impact his popularity with viewers who voted him their winner.

Season 5 - Alesha Dixon (2007)

Back in 2007, Alesha Dixon was best-known as a former singer of girlband Mis-Teeq than being on Britain's Got Talent.

She went on to win the fifth series of Strictly with Matthew Cutler, and just two years later she swapped the dance floor for the desk and replaced Arlene Phillips as a judge.

Season 4 - Mark Ramprakash (2006)

This was the second year in a row that an England cricketer won Strictly Come Dancing. Following on from Darren Gough's victory the year before, Mark Ramprakash and Karen Hardy took the Glitterball in 2006.

They were the only couple that series to achieve a score of 40.

Season 3 - Darren Gough (2005)

England cricketer Darren Gough beat the likes of Zoe Ball, James Martin and Colin Jackson to win Strictly Come Dancing in 2005.

His professional partner was Lilia Kopylova and the pair won despite the fact they'd never made it to the top of the Strictly leaderboard during the show's 12-week run.

Season 2 - Jill Halfpenny (December 2004)

EastEnders star Jill Halfpenny became the second ever winner of Strictly, also in 2004.

Partnered with Darren Bennett, their Jive became infamous as one of the best-ever routines performed on Strictly. It was the first routine to ever win a perfect score of 40, and so it's perhaps unsurprising that Halfpenny went on to win the whole series.

Season 1 - Natasha Kaplinsky (July 2004)

The first ever winners of Strictly Come Dancing back in the summer (yes, summer) of 2004 were BBC newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky and professional dancer Brendan Cole.
