partner Katie Stainsby after the result was decided by a combination of judges' scores and studio audience vote.
And after taking the trophy Williams admitted that he nearly turned down the chance to appear in the show.
'I very almost didn't do this,' he told Philip Schofield, 'and the first couple of weeks I fell over hundreds of times.'
However his routine, to the Kings Of Leon hit Use Somebody, proved to be a huge hit with the judges, with the gold medallist dropping just one point out of a possible 30.
Badminton silver medallist Gail Emms was among other athletes taking part in the show (Picture: ITV) Others who took part in the show included athletes Colin Jackson and Jamie Baulch, javelin champion Tessa Sanderson and badminton silver medallist Gail Emms.
