10-year-old street dancer Akai Osei won Sky1 reality show Got To Dance last night.
Osei beat The Box and Jukebox Juniors to win the £100,000 prize and series title. Earlier in the evening, bookmakers' favourites Emily Crow and Matthew Koon were knocked out of the contest.
The Kent-based star was given three gold stars by judges Ashley Banjo, Kimberly Wyatt and Adam Garcia after his first performance. "You're a born performer," commented Garcia afterwards.
His second dance routine, which also got three gold stars from the judges, was based around tracks by Missy Elliot, Michael Jackson and Joe Budden. Wyatt admitted afterwards that the young performer had the look of a winner.
Speaking afterwards to host Davina McCall, Osei said: "This is amazing! It's been the best night of my life."
The dancer previously revealed that he wanted to spend his winnings on a mobile phone, but said last night that he would also like to give some money to charity.
