LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Actress Jennifer Grey and her professional dance partner Derek Hough were declared the winners on "Dancing with the Stars" in Los Angeles Tuesday.

The "Dirty Dancing" icon and Hough beat out Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey and their partners for the Season 11 honor.

"I didn't think I was going to compete tonight and I'm really glad I did," Grey tearfully said upon learning her fate.

The actress injured her knee and suffered a slipped disc during the course of the competition.

Hough also led celebrities Nicole Scherzinger and Brooke Burke to victory in previous seasons of "Dancing."
