Brooke Burke is speechless after being crowned the latest Dancing With the Stars champ.

"It's amazing! It's been such an incredible experience, and this is huge," she told Usmagazine.com after her win Tuesday. "I'm at such a loss for words."

Added her partner Derek Hough, "Honestly, the tears, the hurt backs, the hamstrings, the feet -- everything was so worth it. Every tear, every emotion."

Burke said they put their "heart and soul into it, physically and emotionally. It's been unbelievable."

What is she going to do with her mirror-ball trophy?

"It'll be rotating through the little girls' rooms at my house!" she told Us.

"My family's really ready for me to come home," she added, "but they're also so happy because they sacrificed a lot and were so supportive. It really took a team to keep my four kids and the whole thing functioning while I was at rehearsal, so I really owe them a lot. Those tears were of joy and celebration and also relief that I'm coming home!"

Next up for Burke?

"I'm just going to take some much needed R&R and enjoy the holidays with my family," she said. "I don't know what's coming up next, just taking it one day at a time right now."

Hough's sister, Julianne, also has won a trophy. He said "it's an awesome, awesome feeling. It feels complete now."

Meanwhile, despite coming in third place, Lance Bass told Us he is still thrilled with his performance this season.

"I didn't expect to be here at all, so it's just an added bonus to get to do the finale," he went on. "I thought the dances were great today, and Brooke so deserved to win! We could not be happier."

Former NFL star Warren Sapp told Us he had no hard feelings about coming in second, either.

"Brooke's amazing, so I think any one of the final three could have taken that title," he said. "It was her night."
