Megan McKenna has won ‘X Factor: Celebrity’.
The 27-year-old star – who first found fame on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ – has been crowned the inaugural winner of the show, after seeing off stiff competition from Max and Harvey, V5 and Jenny Ryan.
After being named the winner, Megan said: "Thank you so much … I’m living my dream and I can’t even explain how excited I am! Just thank you!"
Megan was joined on stage by the other contestants on the show, before she performed for one final time on the ITV show.
The reality star’s triumph means she’s secured a coveted recording contract with Simon Cowell’s label, Syco, thereby giving her the chance to pursue her long-held music dreams.
The final show of the series saw the contestants perform a Christmas-themed tune, with Megan stealing the show with Leona Lewis’ ‘One More Sleep’.
Elsewhere, Jenny sang ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’, whilst Max and Harvey covered George Michael’s ‘Last Christmas’ and V5 performed Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas’.
Each of the remaining acts also performed their song of the series, with Megan impressing the judges and the audience with her original track ‘This’.
Meanwhile, Max and Harvey performed One Direction’s ‘Kiss You’ and Jenny delivered her own take on Lady Gaga’s ‘Edge Of Glory’.
What’s more, the series finale featured The Pussycat Dolls making their long-awaited return to the stage.
The chart-topping girl group – which features Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, and Carmit Bachar – performed together for the first time in more than a decade ahead of their upcoming reunion tour.
