Poh Ling Yeow has taken out the title of LEGO® Masters Bricksmas champion alongside her teammate Sarah.

"The spin does not guarantee the win but it gives you a great shot at it," Hamish Blake said.
And that it did, with Brickman noting the spinning mechanism as their "point of difference".
It wasn't the first time Poh had found herself in a high pressure reality TV contest, with the star previously appearing on two seasons of Masterchef Australia.
Despite her experience on reality TV, LEGO Masters Bricksmas was a special milestone for Poh as it was her first ever reality TV win.
"Usually my specialty is not winning," Poh laughed.
"Brickman saw what Matt Preston didn't dare to see," Hamish Blake joked.

Poh revealed that her LEGO Masters experience has brought her something that other shows haven't.
"It has a lot of similarities but I think the biggest difference is coming together with someone to build something conceptually," she said.
"I learnt so much about that in a really positive way."
The TV star admitted there's a lot about LEGO Masters that she will miss.
"Now that it's finished, I'm just mourning that I will never that much LEGO again," Poh said.
"It's like the ultimate pantry.
"This has been such a privilege to be in that room and amongst all these amazing people."

With a win under their belt, Poh and Sarah have their sights set high.
"Now that we're the ultimate champions of the world, we could go on a world tour," Sarah told cameras.
"I did not ever in a million years think I would be sitting here today and it's all thanks to this woman," Poh praised her teammate.
