But on a night of Cher cameos and Eurovision news, who would lift the glitterball trophy? Phew, what a final. High-standard hoofing. Gripping and tense but the right outcome, I think. And thanks for being so friendly, funny and fascinating all series. Hopefully see you on Christmas Day for a ballroom Babycham. Each day, I post TV and film recommendations for that evening, much like those on this blog. Thanks so much for watching along with me this year. Merry choreographic Christmas and a happy hoofing New Year. And, of course, for the final time this series: keeeeeep dancing!

These are not serious people.

Our 15 plucky celebrities met their pro partners, while the judges hit the dancefloor, reigning champion Hamza Yassin returned and emotional tribute was paid to the late Len Goodman. In the meantime, thanks for your wit, wisdom and for being so welcoming. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Guardian glitterati. And, it almost goes without saying, keeeeeep dancing! As does Layton. I think he and Nikita are going to be adorable.

But who would heartbreakingly fall at the last hurdle? Strictly Come Dancing. This article is more than 3 months old. Updated 10 Dec Michael Hogan. As always, thanks for watching along with me, sequin-spangled community. Meet you back here to raise our proverbial paddles and toast our new Strictly champion. In the meantime, for the penultimate time this series: keeeeep dancing! Thank you and a glittery goodnight.

After another difficult year for many, Strictly remains a much-needed retreat for comfort and joy - also this blog is one of the few remaining corners of the internet that feels like a warm hug, so well done everyone. My liveblog duties are over for another year, but you can find me on Twitter and Instagram heidistephens if you want to say hello, and I also write books of a romantic comedy nature so you can definitely buy those too. They make lovely stocking fillers, just saying. Keeeeeep dancing! But every one of those finalists absolutely smashed it tonight, they all worked so hard and gave us one hell of a show. Hamza and Jowita lift the glitterball, and some rubbish fireworks go off. Another montage!

Flouncy feathery opening. I imagine my bloody lunatic dog causing complete carnage if he was on. This article is more than 4 months old. No jive has scored in the 30s yet this series. Not too much raiding of the fancy dress box this week. Hope she goes a long way in the competition. Published: 23 Sep Can she go one better? Gapping issues. Time for tension-building and long… pauses…. Got a bit tangled up and lost momentum at the end.

See you next Saturday! PHEW — that felt like a marathon. But these scores are carried over to next week, so everything could change.

Skirt-swishing and body ripples but lacks bounce. So who might not dance into December? Cheesy grins all round, sparkly outfits and a synchronised sit-down. Walking around and waffle-nibbling to finish. This Oscar-nominated ballad is from The Bodyguard soundtrack, so imagine that Gorka is Kevin Costner in this scenario. The bouncy and empowering tropical house hit has become something of a gay anthem. Nigel Harman and Katya Jones perform their scoreboard-topping paso doble. Published: 10 Dec More on this story. High energy, hips a-popping, plentiful sass and fun disco feel but perhaps lacking a little bounce action.
