2nd Strictly Come Dancing 2023 thread

A worthy winner.

Fab-u-lous 👏👏👏

So pleased for Ellie.
It's been a wonderful series and the standard of dancing just seems to get better every year.

Great Result!!!

Yesssss

So pleased for Ellie 🎉🎉🎉

Yes, an excellent result! 🥇

Yes!
Very pleased. although I thought Bobby performed brilliantly tonight.

What a fantastic 2 hours of dancing! Yes, the standard has been soooo high!

Thanks everyone for your company on Saturday and Sunday nights.

Have a lovely Christmas.

My favourite couple won so I’m pleased with the result. After all these years it’s still going strong and a great show. Roll on Christmas Day.

Thanks for the thread Sparklefizz.
See you next year!

Thank you Sparklefizz & all who have joined you for this fantastic programme thread.
Happy Christmas to you too.

I'm sure we'll "see" you soon on another great thread.

P.S. Anyone know if Dancing on Ice will be on in the new year.?

What a fabulous show this has been this year. So many super dancers. I've been very emotional watching tonight and when Bobby did his couples choice, we were both filling up here.
We've enjoyed it so much

Probably the best final. Apprently the youngest final all under 30.
All three completely awesome,they are all going to have fabulous careers.
Ellie worthy winner, Leyton and Bobby both fantastic. Loved this series.

Thank You for this lovely thread Sparklefizz and everyone, I have enjoyed joining in each weekend 💐

This has been a lovely thread, I would have liked Leyton to win, but I am really pleased for Ellie and Vito.

Super series, and such great dancers.
Thank you Sparklefizz for the thread again.

I was pleased Ellie won because I've enjoyed all her dances, but I though Layton and Nikita's quickstep was wonderful.

It was a wonderful final show with some fabulous dances, I would have been happy for any of the three finalists to win. It looks as if Bobby has a wonderful future ahead of him and I’m sure Ellie will have some great opportunities too.

I didn’t start watching the show till 9pm and avoided the internet and text messages for the duration of the show in case of spoilers.

Great show with wonderful performances from all 3 couples but Ellie has been my winner from week 1. I’m delighted she won 👏👏

Thank you for the thread Sparklefizz!

So glad that Ellie WON!!
I too have wanted her to win since week one
WELL DONE ELLIE AND VITO!!!!!!!

I'm really glad Ellie won. She possibly wouldn't have been the judge's choice, but she was excellent. All three dances were outstanding, including the slightly dubious lift in her show dance. Layton dances superbly,as always, but his show dance could have been a solo. There was hardly any hold at all. Bobby is sweet but I didn't think he was on a par with the other two. I don't think they should allow couples choice in the final. Thank you Sparklefizz for the thread.

I divided my votes between Ellie & Bobby till Ellie's final lift which I did not feel was quite up to standard and therefore gave my last two votes to Bobby. They were of course all excellent in the final and I was happy with the result. Thank you Sparklefizz for an enjoyable thread, I have enjoyed reading the various (mainly non grouchy) comments.

I’m really pleased Leyton was included, because he was amazing to watch, and I grew to like him a lot.
I’m glad he didn’t win though, but was very happy to see him in the final, Ellie was the right choice.

Any of the three finalists could have won. What an amazing final. I think it was good that Ellie won, but I did love Leyton and Bobby too. This year has been a particularly good series .
There was a comment about Bobby going to Hollywood. I wonder what that was all about.

There was a comment about Bobby going to Hollywood. I wonder what that was all about.

There have been rumours online but he seems a young and naive young man and I think he might be eaten alive in Hollywood. I think he can have a wonderful career in the UK with his family as support around him.
