The hip-hop group scooped the £250,000 prize after winning the Sky TV series last night.
The group performed at the London Olympia in front of an audience of 6,000.
Davina McCall hosts the programme and the judging panel includes Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Banjo and Adam Garcia.
Prodijig commented: "We are over the moon. When Davina called out Prodijig's name - we've never been so proud in our entire life. Thanks to all our friends and family, to everyone everywhere in the UK and Ireland that voted. We all can't wait to go home and see our families."
Banjo described the dance routine as "disgustingly good" and Wyatt said they were "world class", "on another level".
