Charlie Bruce has won the first UK series of So You Think You Can Dance.

The 19-year-old beat Tommy Franzén and third-placed Lizzie Gough in the public vote to take the title and Ł100,000 prize.

Bruce has also won the chance to appear on the US version of the programme.

On hearing the news, she burst into tears and sobbed: "I'm absolutely speechless, thank you so much. I did it!"

Judge Nigel Lythgoe joked that he felt "exhausted", saying: "To have seen Tommy and Charlie grow across the series... both deserved to be here, both were fabulous. I think Charlie edged it tonight and I'm going to be so excited to take her to America."

Bruce added: "I'm going to remember absolutely everything. I'll never forget this. I'll never forget this ever."
