The mirrorball trophy is always carried away by a deserving candidate. The season 22 of Dancing with the Stars has finally named its champion.

And the winners are Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd! Congratulations Guys!

Peta, who was once again in tears, said it was "an amazing feeling" and that she "owed everything" to Nyle. That said, she probably had something to do with their win, too.

The America's Next Top Model winner revealed that he couldn't believe it was almost over because he felt like it was still week one. Through tears, Peta praised him for being "inspirational" to so many people.
