The winner of the Agents Giving glitterball trophy was Danielle Lanthier from Paramount.  As well as the prestigious glitterball Danielle was also awarded £250 prize money.

Lanthier said: “I’m thrilled and humbled to have won Agents do Strictly – I still can’t believe it! It was a rollercoaster of an experience and I’m so thankful to have been a part of it. The win is great, but I think the best thing I’ve taken out of this is having faced the fear of getting up in front of hundreds of people to perform.  Now that it’s done – I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”
