Sam Attwater wins Dancing on Ice

Former EastEnders actor Sam Attwater has been crowned champion of ITV1’s Dancing on Ice.

The 24-year-old beat children’s TV presenter Laura Hamilton in the final, after performing his own version of Torvill and Dean’s Bolero routine.

During the show, Attwater scored 58 out of a possible 60 for his showcase dance and favourite routine from the series.

The actor paid tribute to his skating partner, Brianne Delcourt, calling her “a friend for life”.

“I wouldn’t be where I am now, at the standard I’m at, if it wasn’t for Brianne,” he said.
