I don't have to do the no spoiler warning, because it's the Final and it's ALL LIVE!

Quick reminder for no YouTube videos please, they embed and slow the thread down horribly for some people. I'll add a link to the multimedia thread in a minute.

That dance was awesome, my favourite ever and most watched. I don't think that was his show dance though, I think it might have been his American Smooth?
His show dance was a bit contemptowafty.

I am absolutely talking about his shiwdance to Set Fire to the Rain. Oti jumps in his arms as Danny pushes the mirror back.

I liked Danny & Oti's showdance, apart from the bare feet. There were quite a few different styles in it (I especially loved the paso bits).

Joanne was very clever with her choreography for her & Ore's showdance.

The should have people like Leandro and Maria dancing on the Results Show instead of the endless filler. Show us what the dances are meant to look like when the pros aren't lugging a Loose Women panellist around.

I would LOVE that!

But it would probably show how pants even the best of the slebs were . . .

Do you remember the early series when they have the world show dance champions on in semi-finals week and it would scare the hell out of celebs?

Is that why we ended up with Snowdance?

Yes that's exactly why we ended up with Snowdance. Brendan nicked a lot of the signature insane lifts from the showdance exhibition performances without accounting for the difference between the teeny gymnasts who are normally the female half of a showdance couple, and Lisa Snowden who was a perfect weight for her height, but a healthy six footer.

Denise and James eventually succeeded in doing that style of showdance very well indeed: and a fat lot of good it did them.

How to top BabyWarz and Dead Nan: rescue a robin just before Christmas. It's like something from the pages of Sun Tzu's The Art of War: The Ballroom Years.

Could Hamza get any more perfect?

Hamza and Jowita on ITT. Said their SD has a Fred & Ginger vibe. Can't wait. Jowita is very beautiful. The sketch of her SD dress looks dreamy. Showed Hamza rescuing a robin that had flown into the studio. Swoon.

X post!

I'm an avid twitcher, anyone kind to birds gets my unswerving loyalty!

I've just watched Hamza rescue a Robin he gets all my votes 😀

Jowita is mesmerising isn't she, such a lovely soul

I am eating that much humble pie over Jowita, I’ll look like a blimp.

I thought she’d be dancing round her sleb like a dervish and be mainly showcasing herself and her phenomenal dancing.

I was wrong. So wrong.

She is just marvellous and I’m proper sorry.

I forgive you @ArcaneWireless, it's ok I Ithought no one could come close to Oti and her amazing ways, but Jowita is just brilliant! Love her!

Just watched Hamza and the robin 💕
What a guy.

I am currently feeding the 5000 bird wise. The garden has never been so active.

It looks as though someone has sprinkled all shades of confetti over the snow.

It is, in reality, multi coloured bird poop from the pellets/seeds/peanuts/etc.

Their water is needing changing ever 30 minutes and the bird bath has a queue.

Bless him for that rescue. 🥰

Same here Arcane, when I fill up the feeders in the morning, it's like a scene from The Birds - they are all sitting on the roof and in the trees watching me. Had a gorgeous Jay visit yesterday, and our resident Robin has been looking very beautiful on the snow capped branches.

Jowita and Oti have the same ability to be astonishing to watch, and yet you never forget to watch their partner - they make them shine, rather than outshine them. Very clever choreographers. And genuinely nice people. And legs to die for!

moira

Aye. The Birds here also. I love them. 😊

@ArcaneWireless - same here. In the warner months we have wheat, barley, sunflowers etc growing through the paving stones from all the mixed seed DS chucks about.

We have a little clear feeder that suckers to the kitchen window. A hoofing great pigeon comes to it every morning bashing against the window with its wings.

Snap to random seed growth!!

We have collared doves and a couple of pidges. Lucky you having a hoofer that wants to announce their presence!

😍😍😘

It probably flew into his arms . . . I bliddy would if I got the chance except I'd squash him flat

Aye - same here. I go out at first light (spaniel owner - early riser) with a kettle full of water and a bag of footballs etc,

De=ice the bird bath (done periodically throughout the day), and share about half a tone os seed, bread, cheese, suet, fat balls, and mealworms among 3 feeding stations* and then scramble for my life into the house to avoid the rush of beaks and feathers.

Our garden is tiny, but if I don't spread the food places out, the bstarding magpies get the lot.

I'm another one who is currently going out in the freezing, dark mornings with pans of boiling water and a fish slice.
