Mel B tipped to win US Strictly Come Dancing

America has always run its version of Strictly Come Dancing in two parts: the main Dancing with the Stars on Monday night and the results show on Tuesdays. So today the remaining celebrities are on tenterhooks - and it looks like Mel B is poised to win.

During last night's final dance, Melanie Brown and her professional dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy scored 55 out of a maximum 60 points for their cha cha cha and their freestyle dance.

Chmerkovskiy said: "She went from somebody who just had rhythm...to having the guts to come out and do this. She was one of my prize students."

Marie Osmond and partner Jonathan Roberts had been expected to win but last night earned 46 points. Nonetheless, judge Bruno Tonioli said her freestyle dance "defies criticism. It's like Baby Jane and the Bride of Chucky. It's unique."
