DEREK HOUGH, AMBER RILEY

Amber Riley won Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday night. The Glee star and her dancer partner Derek Hough started off the competition strong and blew Corbin Bleu and Jack Osbourne out the water took the whole thing home. Amber told Us Magazine, “I’m so excited! I’m very proud of myself,” she gushed. “I can’t believe…Well, I guess I can believe I endured to the end, because I worked very, very hard and I’m really happy.”

“Even at the beginning I didn’t think I was going to win! When we first started, that wasn’t the goal — it really wasn’t,” she told Us. “I was like, ‘Okay, this will be cool. It’ll be great exercise, I’ll gain confidence, I’ll learn dances…I love dancing — maybe I’ll experience something new.’ As the weeks progressed, it got harder, and I didn’t know if I’d be able to compete anymore. There was a point where I was putting needles in my knees…and I thought, ‘If I’m going through this pain every week, I obviously want this more than I’m willing to admit.’ Toward the end I was like, ‘Let’s go for it. It’s okay if I want to win.'”

Good for her!!
