‘DANCING WITH THE STARS’ WINNERS NICOLE SCHERZINGER & DEREK HOUGH DANCE UP A STORM ON ‘GMA’

Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough wowed the crowed this morning on Good Morning America. The pair won the tenth season of Dancing with the Stars last night. Fellow contestant and ESPN reporter Erin Andrews got more coverage throughout the season thanks to her feud with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, but Nicole was clearly the one with more talent.

In fact earlier this month the DWTS judges all agreed that Nicole Scherzinger was the best dancer they’d ever had on the show, not just this season. That sealed the deal for her. The Pussycat Dolls’ lead singer obviously has a head start on most of the other contestants since she has so much dancing experience with the group, and she used it to her advantage.

Erin Andrews ended up coming in third with figure skater Evan Lysacek coming in second place. After her final dance (but before she’d been crowned the winner) Nicole enthusiastically told host Tom Bergeron, "I’m just so grateful! I’m just so flipping happy right now! … It’s such an awesome experience!"

Though she placed third, Erin Andrews had nothing but positive things to say about her experience. She’s been the victim of a very high profile stalker this year along with death threats. In a pre-taped interview she noted, "This experience has meant everything to me… I have gone through hell the past year. [Partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy] brought me back to life. He just did!"
