I didn't mind Motsi but her response to Rose winning, and then when she was called out on it, has really put me off her!

I know Rose (well, she is good friends with my daughter)
Just for the record she hasn’t ‘hearing loss’, she was born deaf. As was her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend has become friends with Giovanni (eg they have all gone out together). He’s not keen on the publicity as more a private person but he is enormously appreciative of how hard Giovanni has worked, how they have worked as a pair and what they have shown to the deaf community. She is very proud to be a deaf woman and has been enabled by the experience. She’s has also worked so so hard at this! Her boyfriend understands exactly what she means. They have a great relationship!

I would have expected all that thrilledfor. Private boyfriend, R & G becoming good friends. I haven't seen anything other than a proud sibling type relationship between them.

Rose is a remarkable role model, a positive shining light for a lot of people. Her family must be extremely proud of her.

What was her reaction Pear Tree. I noticed her face on Saturday, has it made the press??

That is brilliant to hear thrilled I was betting on Rose winning weeks ago! Her delicate style and her lack of ego really made her a very deserving winner.

Great that she expanded Joevarney's horizons\education too and that he was humble enough to say it was all credit to her.

Ecsatic!
I cried buckets on saturday. I loved John and AJ too but of course we all wanted our girl to win. Regretting not putting a bet on in week one when Shirley gave her a 4!!

absolutely, she was so well deserving.

i dont think Tess has ever missed a show has she?

Kai has posted on Instagram to show off his new #gifted smile, looks like he's had his teeth all sorted in time for Christmas.

Aw:) I hope AJ gets something out of this series: a presenting gig, or a West End role like Danny Mac and Alexandra Burke, or something to make it easier.

I think she was on maternity leave in one of the really early series — series 2 perhaps?

When I was at the filming of scd Craig didn’t come over v well so not keen! But we all have different opinions!

I'm just watching the Fantastic Mr Fox with DD. Greg Wise should have been Mr Fox for movie week, he would have been just right.

What was Motsi's reaction to Rose wining? Did I miss something?

Can you spill more on this?

I've never heard a bad word said about him, he always comes across as being very well liked and pleasant, but I suspect as we all do, even celebs can have 'off' days. It must be hard to be 'on' all the time.

A nice and inevitable freebie for him. Dangerous though isn’t it - he’s got the full package now

Re: Motsi, I think all the comments are a tad unfair, I think she genuinely was pleased for Rose and that snap shot of the camera just caught her off guard. I don't think it unveiled her true feelings or anything, I think it was just an unfortunate frame to be shown of her straight after the announcement. I don't think we should read too much into it IMO.

She may be sad it's all over? Who knows what was going through her mind?

I think Gio loves Rose like a proud big brother rather than anything else. He appreciates how much she has taught him, as well, which he can use with future partners. I adore her.

I wish they would stop the fake Sunday episode business too. I always look for the Spoiler on Twitter so ruin it.

I think Motsi’s expression looked as much like a holding in tears face, as it did a pissed off face.

I have a friend who is quite a star of musical theatre. She has worked with Craig a lot and thinks he's super lovely - the nicest man.

@Sparklingbrook

Yes or Janette? A presenter who knows about dancing would definitely add something different to the tired proceedings.

Not Jannette. Claudia should get the main gig. She's fab.

Does Claudia know much about dancing though?

Tess doesn't bring any valuable comments regarding the dancing so I don't think that is an issue if Claudia doesn't know much.

Apparently Strictly bosses are lining up AJ and Kai to have a final dance in 2022 💃🕺🎉
