Last night saw Nina Carberry and Pasquale La Rocca crowned the Dancing with the Stars champions for 2022! After 12 weeks of live shows we were delighted to see the pair take home the glitterball trophy after their incredible performances week on week.
This isn’t the first time Pasquale has won the show, as he took home the trophy back in 2020 when he was apired with Lottie Ryan. Speaking about working with Irish jockey Nina this year he said she was “a dream woman.”
Nina could also barely contain her delight at winning as she said; “This is an incredible show and I’m delighted to be part of it all!”
Last night’s performances really pulled out all the stops and this week the judges were not the one determining the winners, but it all came down to a public vote.
Their first performance on the night was a ‘judges choice’ as they repeated a dance from earlier in the season. They danced a Viennese waltz to ‘At Last’ which also scored them an incredible 30 from the judges!
Brian loved their performance saying; “The big question, can you improve on perfection? The answer is ‘yes, you can!”
Loraine added; “Powerful performance, it amazes me how you guys perfected the already perfect Viennese waltz.”
The pair’s final dance on the night saw them performing with Nina’s name in lights behind them. Their showdance was accompanied by ‘If They Could See Me Now’ which earned them a standing ovation from the judges as well as scoring them a 29.
Brian said; “Nina, it’s not just your friends who can see you now, it is the whole nation.”
A huge congratulations to Nina and Pasquale!
