\nAt the start of the series, there were claims it was one of the weakest line-ups in recent years, but once again, \u2018Strictly\u2019 has proved it doesn\u2019t need star power to dazzle.<\/p>\n

The class of 2017 have made this run the most watched in its history, with over 11 million tuning into each episode – a rare feat in TV land, as how many other long-running shows can say they are more popular now than when they began 13 years ago?<\/p>\n

Viewers have been completely enthralled and enchanted with Strictly\u2019s magical mix of dance, sequins and campery, and the series has found a deserving champion in Joe McFadden.<\/p>\n

The former \u2018Holby City\u2019 actor has certainly had the biggest journey of all the finalists, given he had little prior dance experience compared to Debbie and Alexandra.<\/p>\n

That said, a victory for Alexandra would have been extra sweet given she was arguably the most talented dancer. It also would have been a victory over the trolls and certain sectors of the press who tried to drag her down during her time on the show.<\/p>\n

I guess we will just have to settle for a long-awaited third album from her instead.<\/p>\n

How do you keep your smile on your face with his hand between your legs? Darcey Bussell to Debbie McGee about Giovanni Pernice
\nI thought it was dreadful… as I couldn’t find a single thing wrong with it. Craig Revel Horwood on Alexandra Burke’s American Smooth
\nIf I had an 11 paddle for that fleckerl, you’d be getting one. Shirley Ballas on Joe McFadden’s Viennese Waltz
\nIt was quiet, it was small, it was understated, it was classy, it was elegant. In fact it was everything Blackpool is not, darling. Craig Revel Horwood on Gemma Atkinson’s American Smooth
\nClaudia Winkleman attempting the \u2018Dirty Dancing\u2019 lift in a way only she can
\nThe excitement of the final proves too much for an accident-prone Bruno\u00a0
\nAlexandra\u2019s Jive – somehow even better the second time around
