Despite Courtney Act tipped as the bookies favourite, the 41-year-old came out on top, wining $50,000 for his chosen charity, Love Your Sister. The foundation was set up by the former Secret Life of Us star and his sister, Connie, who died of breast cancer in 2017.

'I just want to say, Courtney is the better dancer!' he admitted graciously.

In the lead up to the results being announced, Samuel yelled: 'I am trying to kick cancer in the face. Help me!'

You did this. I feel I've done you proud. Thank you. www.loveyoursister.org

Sam and dance partner Jorja Freeman opened the grand finale with an encore of their 'Mr Bojangles' jazz dance from week six, before going on to perform a freestyle number. Both dances earned an impressive 29 points each from the judges.

However, fans were left shocked by Sam’s surprise win, with many believing Courtney should have taken home the coveted glitter ball trophy.

Good morning, Bert and good morning, Australia 🇦🇺! If you follow me and somehow were not as yet aware- this Monday is the final of @dancingon10 and I would love it if you could take a moment each day to vote for @joshuakeefedancer & I by clicking the link in my bio (or swiping up on my story). You can vote for free with your email address once a day and you can text "COURTNEY" to 1995 1010 as many times you like (call costs 55c). We would love to take home the mirror ball on Monday and donate $50,000 to @blackrainbowaus to support Queer Aboriginal & Torres Straight Island young folk. Thank you for all the amazing support so far. I can't tell you how amazing it's been to have danced the last 10 weeks and felt so much love. We've had so much fun, broken barriers and I've worn so many pretty dresses! I hope you enjoy what we have planned this Monday night! Xxx

'I mean Courtney Act has been on the top of her and this game throughout the whole series - but hey,' one person wrote on Twitter.

'Courtney, you are the winner in my eyes,' another viewer tweeted.
