It was the first time Oti has won the show in the five years she has been competing.
Former Emmerdale actor Kelvin, 35, joined the show last minute as the replacement for injured Jamie Laing just days before it was due to begin.
Both Kelvin and Oti also wept after their win, with the actor telling his pro dancer: "Thank you for the most amazing experience of my life.
"Thank you to Emma and Karim, Anton and Amy, and all the pros and all the celebs, the judges, everybody at home who has supported me, I feel so proud to be part of this, so thank you."

Oti, through tears, said: "I've been on this show for five years and I have never ever met any celeb who gives his heart, his soul...
"If something is not working we stay in training and rehearse, not because he wanted to win but because he genuinely, genuinely loves dancing, and for me that is the best gift and the best ending to my year, so thank you."
Earlier in the evening Motsi became tearful again when Oti and Kelvin received a perfect 40 for their Showdance, performed to Shout by The Isley Brothers.
Craig Revel Horwood began by saying: "I loved every single minute of it."

When it came to Motsi's turn, she began to get emotional about her professional dancer sister.
She said: "Well, usually I can go on about things but you guys, I have no words. Really that left me..." then she teared up.
Shirely Ballas then comforted her fellow judge by giving her a hug.
The head judge said of the dance: "You pushed the limits, you had everything in the routine.
"We could see your technique, you put everything into it but you pushed the limits and it had everything."
