'Dancing on Ice' judge Jason Gardiner has said that actor Sam Attwater deserved to win the show.
In a blog posting on Facebook, he wrote: "When this couple first hit the ice it was like an explosion!"
"Sam had all the attributes that I look for in a potential champion. He was strong, technically superb, confident, a great partner and boy could he skate."
"In the semi-final he proved that he was back and on top of his game as a real contender."
"After tonight, Sam has shown that the road to success isn't always an easy one but by applying yourself and with single-minded determination, you can overcome anything if you put your mind to it. He deserves to be the king of this series because he has truly worked so hard for it."
