Strictly Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe has been crowned the winner of The Great British Sewing Bee: Celebrity Christmas Special.

The ballroom and Latin pro beat the likes of EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy, TV personality Penny Lancaster and podcaster Rosie Ramsey – who put their skills to the test in a bid to impress judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young.

Comedian Sara Pascoe returned as presenter, ready to task the fabulous four with their assignments.

The Strictly pro reigned supreme in the Pattern challenge which involved the stars creating a festive-inspired apron.

Patrick later surprised the celebs by requesting for them to make a Christmas outfit for baby Olive which represented a favourite object or character.

Rosie triumphed in the second round after finishing last in the first challenge.

Finally, the celebrities were tasked with making a New year’s Eve fancy dress costume inspired by their favourite pop star.

Johannes dedicated his creation to Harry Styles, and declared that he would ‘lose his mind’ if he met the As It Was hitmaker in real life.

‘They might have to restrain me. You’ve never seen beauty like that… I’m just saying,’ he added.

Oh we don’t doubt Johannes!

Penny paid homage to Madonna, Natalie chose Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher and Rosie chose country icon Dolly Parton.

But when it came to the final result, Johannes was announced as the winner.

‘My Aunt is sitting up in heaven now smiling down on me, because she was the seamstress in the family. To see this I’m sure she would have been squealing, but I know that my mum will be watching this very proud of me because she also contributed to my skills of a needle and cotton.

The Great British Sewing Bee: Celebrity Christmas Special is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
