The former Emmerdale star and professional partner Oti Mabuse beat fellow finalists Emma Barton and Anton Du Beke and Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden. Fletcher, 35, told BBC Breakfast: “I don’t think I actually heard our names being read out. I'm still speechless!It’s difficult to find the words to explain my level of gratitude for your support. 🙌You’re simply the best UK 🇬🇧Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️Team #Floti 💃🕺🏆🎉#StrictlyFinal #Winners pic.twitter.com/FSRfF5Tlhz— Kelvin Fletcher (@kelvin_fletcher) December 15, 2019 “I saw Oti almost collapse (and thought) ‘Oh, we must have won’.” Despite being a favourite to take the Glitterball trophy, he said: “You don’t really expect that. It’s just the complete unknown. “When your name is read out, it’s absolute disbelief.” Fletcher, who is also a racing driver, won the British GT Championship just after signing up for Strictly. “It’s one of those fluky years where things just line up,” he said.
