CHA-CHA-CHAMPS; Nat & Bren win Come Dancing.
Byline: KAREN ROCKETTTV presenter Natasha Kaplinsky and dance partner Brendan Cole, who have set the nation's TV screens alight with their electric sexual chemistry, last night won BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
The pair, who hotly deny rumours of an off-screen affair, beat runner-ups Chris Parker, 20, who plays Spencer Moon in EastEnders, and his dance partner Hanna Karttunen, after 2.5 million viewers voted in the sequinned spectacular.
Millions have been watching stunning Natasha, 31, captivate Brendan on the dance floor, in front of his fiancee and professional dancer Camilla Dallerup.
Last night a red-faced Brendan, 28, came face-to-face with Camilla for the first time since she dumped him over his on-screen flirting and dirty dancing with Natasha.
The Danish dancer felt she had no choice but to call off her relationship with Brendan because she feared he was trying to woo Natasha.
A source said: "She wasn't delighted about coming back and watching Natasha and Brendan dance together but she was going to put on a brave face, however tricky."
It is not the first time naughty Natasha has been in hot water over her love life.
She was exposed last year for twice cheating on her long-term boyfriend Michael Barnard, 34, with 45-year-old Lloyd Bracey.
But the sexy star has helped make Strictly Come Dancing a huge hit, and the BBC has already commissioned a second series.
