LOS ANGELES (AP) - Football star Donald Driver named "Dancing With the Stars" champion.

The Green Bay Packers receiver won the ABC dance show Tuesday.

He and partner Peta Murgatroyd hoisted the glittery prize above their heads as streamers and confetti filled the ballroom.

Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins came in second place and Cuban actor William Levy finished third.

All three finalists earned perfect scores for their final performances Tuesday. Judges' scores combined with viewer votes determined the winner.
