Leah here live on CBBC with Tuesday's update.

:00:07.:00:09.

Championes, championes, ole, ole, ole!

:00:10.:00:16.

The fairytale comes true for Leicester City as they top

:00:17.:00:19.

And we take a look at how they got there.

:00:20.:00:32.

There's one story that everyone's talking about this morning -

:00:33.:00:35.

Leicester City are Premier League champions.

:00:36.:00:38.

Last night their rivals for the top spot, Tottenham, played Chelsea.

:00:39.:00:41.

They needed to win to stay in the running, and everything

:00:42.:00:44.

looked to be going well until Chelsea came back from 2-0

:00:45.:00:47.

down to end Spurs' dreams of a title win and hand Leicester the crown.

:00:48.:00:53.

Jenny's been taking a look at the reaction.

:00:54.:00:57.

Championes, championes, ole, ole, ole!

:00:58.:01:02.

The night the so-called impossible dream became a reality.

:01:03.:01:07.

Outside their stadium, Leicester fans celebrated their club's

:01:08.:01:09.

first-ever Premier League title win in what's being described

:01:10.:01:11.

For their players, too, who had gathered at striker

:01:12.:01:19.

Jamie Vardy's house, it was the moment they

:01:20.:01:21.

The team who've transformed from the brink of relegation

:01:22.:01:25.

Earlier, they'd all watched nervously as Tottenham tried

:01:26.:01:32.

to keep their title hopes alive, but Chelsea's late equaliser

:01:33.:01:37.

completed one of the most remarkable stories in Premier League history.

:01:38.:01:43.

Barely a year ago, they were bottom of the league.

:01:44.:01:47.

I got a bit emotional at the end of the game,

:01:48.:01:50.

It was quite hard to breathe the last few minutes, to be honest.

:01:51.:01:56.

But I've followed them since I was a little kid,

:01:57.:01:58.

I was a season ticket holder since I was seven years old.

:01:59.:02:01.

A night they and indeed football will never forget.

:02:02.:02:11.

So that's how things looked last night.

:02:12.:02:14.

This morning it's a bit quieter at Leicester's King Power Stadium,

:02:15.:02:18.

but fans are still celebrating and the BBC's Fiona Lamdin is there.

:02:19.:02:21.

Well, the clean-up operation is well under way after

:02:22.:02:29.

As you can see, some fans haven't even been to bed yet.

:02:30.:02:35.

Last night, thousands came here after the game.

:02:36.:02:39.

You couldn't move, there were so many people.

:02:40.:02:43.

I met one family who had got their children out of bed,

:02:44.:02:48.

they were in their dressing gowns and pyjamas, they had come down just

:02:49.:02:51.

Thousands of people celebrating one of the city's greatest moments ever,

:02:52.:02:56.

because this is now Leicester's very own theatre of dreams.

:02:57.:03:07.

Well, Leicester's rise to the top has been called one

:03:08.:03:10.

of the greatest achievements in English sporting history.

:03:11.:03:12.

I've been taking a look back at their season

:03:13.:03:14.

Leicester City are in the Premier League for

:03:15.:03:23.

But after a string of losses, by Christmas 2014, they're

:03:24.:03:32.

bottom of the table, and by March 2015, relegation looms.

:03:33.:03:37.

Until four unexpected wins in April secures survival.

:03:38.:03:41.

Which brings us to the summer of 2015.

:03:42.:03:45.

Fans are shocked as manager Nigel Pearson is sacked,

:03:46.:03:47.

and Claudio Ranieri is hired to take his spot.

:03:48.:03:52.

The 2015/16 season kicks off in August, and Ranieri's team

:03:53.:03:54.

They're unbeaten for the whole first month.

:03:55.:04:02.

Striker Jamie Vardy steals the show in November.

:04:03.:04:04.

He breaks league records by scoring in 11 games in a row.

:04:05.:04:09.

And it's a Merry Christmas day 2015 for Foxes fans,

:04:10.:04:12.

with their team at the top of the league having been bottom

:04:13.:04:15.

2016, the year that Leicester's fairy tale starts to look like it

:04:16.:04:20.

By April, Leicester have qualified for the Champions League

:04:21.:04:25.

for the first time, and only Tottenham offer a real challenge

:04:26.:04:28.

But on May the 2nd, Spurs lose their grip on the title

:04:29.:04:34.

Claudio Ranieri waking up a very happy man this morning, I'm sure!

:04:35.:05:13.
