Brooke Burke has waltzed her way to victory on Dancing With The Stars.

The US TV personality beat former 'NSync member Lance Bass and ex-NFL player Warren Sapp during the finale of the show, America's version of the UK's Strictly Come Dancing.

During the finale, Brooke - who has hosted shows such as Wild On and Rock Star - reprised an emotional Viennese Waltz routine that earned her a perfect score from the judges.

"Unbelievable," was all the 37-year-old mum-of-four could say after winning amid a flurry a confetti.

Brooke commanded the ballroom this season, coming in first place eight out of 10 times and receiving a 10 -- the judges' top score -- 16 times. She was crowned the latest DWTS champion after the judges' scores -- 88 out of 90 -- were combined with viewers' votes.

"I actually can't believe it," said Derek Hough, Brooke's professional partner. "I really can't. I honestly can't. The journey's been so long. It's been tough. It's been wonderful."

Warren Sapp came second and Lance Bass came third. Other stars who hit the dancefloor on the show this year included actor Cody Linley, actress Susan Lucci and reality TV star Kim Kardashian.
