EastEnders actresses Brett and Empson were the first celebrities chosen to progress, as they received the greatest number of public votes.

The pair began the show with a rendition of Lady GaGa's 'Telephone', which saw Brett wearing Coca-Cola can hair rollers and a American flag dress, and Empson in a red, white and blue outfit similar to that of Beyoncé in the song's video.

Alderton was later chosen by judges Greg Davies and Keith Lemon to compete for the show crown next month. The comedian performed a routine to Tina Turner's 'Proud Mary', wearing a wig imitating the veteran singer's hairstyle, a short, red dress, blue eyeshadow and red lipstick.

The other celebrities competing during the show were former cricketer Darren Gough, who danced to West Side Story's 'Gym Mambo', DJs David Hamilton and Tony Blackburn, who took on an energetic routine to Salt-n-Pepa's 'Push It' and Shooting Stars' Angelos Epithemiou and Ulrika Jonsson, performing to 'El Tango de Roxanne' from Moulin Rouge.

Let's Dance for Sport Relief continues next Saturday (February 25) at 7.10pm on BBC1.

Rowland Rivron has won Let's Dance for Sport Relief 2012.

The comedian and TV presenter triumphed over rivals Laurie Brett and Tameka Empson, who reprised their routine to Lady GaGa track 'Telephone', and Tyger Drew-Honey and Dani Harmer, who performed to 'Fat Sam's Grand Slam' from Bugsy Malone.

Rivron's winning dance saw him take on Christopher Walken's routine from Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon of Choice' video, which initially saw him win through in his heat last week along with Fatima Whitbread and The Cuban Brothers.

Before emerging victorious in the public vote, judges Frank Skinner, Arlene Phillips and Rhod Gilbert had praised the 53-year-old for his rendition, with Skinner saying: "The message to any young people watching this is - don't be afraid of middle age, it can be very beautiful.

"I'd like to learn that and do it every day - it's honestly one of the best dances I've ever seen on this show, and I totally loved it."

Rivron was awarded the Let's Dance for Sport Relief trophy by 2011 winners Charlie Baker and James Thornton, before closing the show with a repeat performance.

The other acts performing in the final were Terry Alderton, Miles Jupp, Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards and Omid Djalili.


He gave an excellent performance :cheer:
