Amber Riley, known for her role on 'Glee' as Mercedes Jones, has won season 17 of the 'Dancing with the Stars' with her dance partner Derek Hough.
While the 27-year-old actress picked up the mirror-ball trophy, 'High School Musical' star Corbin Bleu came in at the second position and Jack Osbourne took the third place, Fox News reported.

Riley added after her win that she did the competition because women of all sizes need to know they can do whatever they put their minds to.
