Where has the time gone? We're here now...for two and a half bum numbing hours!
Starting off with a very serious VT, followed by the Pro (and Strictly Finalist celebs) dance.
Tess is wearing a bed sheet and Claudia is dressed as the blue roses chocolate!
Ooh, Mary Berry in the audience! A contestant for next year?
Blimey, Darcy's dress is low cut!
The Glitterball Trophy!
JUDGES' CHOICE
ASHLEY & PASHA (Salsa)
Fast, full of energy and well executed.
STACEY & KEVIN (Foxtrot)
Nicely done. Looking good, no obvious mistakes.
FAYE & GIOVANNI (Viennese Waltz)
I remember this from last time. Well executed, but felt more like a tango. Same again. The spins are lovely and graceful, though.
JOE & DIANNE (Paso Doble)
Some nice, sharp moves. Good job.
Ts & Cs done this week by Alan Carr.
Vote is now OPEN!!!
SHOWDANCES
ASHLEY & PASHA
Well executed (though she did look like she almost fell out of that first lift). Not overly keen on contemporary, as it always seems to be the same series of moves. Good job, though.
STACEY & KEVIN
Lots of energy and lots of fun. Might not have been as polished as Ashley's dance, but was more enjoyable to watch.
FAYE & GIOVANNI
Classy, elegant and polished. Oh, that's a top hat she's standing on. I thought it was one of those Alexa things!:laughing: Well done, but I wished they could have had a simpler arrangement of the song instead of the repetative bit.
JOE & DIANNE
Loads of energy and a bit rough round the edges. Another good effort.
COUPLES' CHOICE DANCES
ASHLEY & PASHA (charleston)
Fun and bouncy. Well done.
STACEY & KEVIN (Paso Doble)
Lots of passion and attitude. Good job.
FAYE & GIOVANNI (Couples' Choice - Jazz/Musical Theatre)
Very good, as always with Faye. Seems a bit 'by numbers' though.
JOE & DIANNE (Charleston)
Joe appears to be wearing a technicoloured dreamshirt!:laughing: As with Ashley's, fun and energetic.
'Comments from the public' VT.
Guest performer - Michael Buble. Nice chilled performance.
VOTING HAS NOW CLOSED!!!
'Class of 2018' VT
'Class of 2018' group dance. Lots of fun and some nice excerpts of dances from the series!
RESULTS! The Winner of Strictly 2018 is........................STACEY & KEVIN
Craig's face!:laughing: He is a bit of a prat, though! If he has issues with Kevin, he should take themup with him backstage, not on the show.
Happy for Stacey and Kevin.:blush:
Aaah, a 'Meady Winning Moment' - Stacey and Kevin being hoisted onto the other pros' and celebs' shoulders!
