Charli, 18, beat stiff competition from the likes of Shangela, Wayne Brady and Gabby Windey. And while the four finalists impressed the judging panel with their sensational performances, Charli and Mark managed to scoop perfect scores for both their Jive redemption dance and Freestyle dance routine.
Whilst Charli is a global TikTok dancing sensation, professional dancer Mark has dancing in his blood. Mark's mom, Shirley Ballas, has been dubbed as the 'Queen of Latin' and has won numerous world championships, and dad Corky is a former competitive ballroom dancer who holds several Latin dance championship titles.

Shirley and Corky tied the knot in 1985, before eventually divorcing in 2007. Shirley has since found love with actor Danny Taylor. The loved-up duo first met during the 2018-2019 winter pantomime season, where they both took part in a Christmas production of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Liverpool Empire.
