Awful whiny singer in this too, doesn't help anything.

Eek, think Annabel danced that better today

I do love Shirley, she’s a real fighter

That was beautiful.

Layton and Nikita have made this series for me.

I do too @Jellykat

Such a beautiful dance. Annabel is a gorgeous ballroom dancer.

Ahh Bobby had a last flourish and said I love you to Dianne.

That made me a bit emotional. I wish Annabel’s husband could have seen her.

No Craig

Good on ya Craig.

Same here, the representation this year has been very important and very much appreciated by our son.

Having Layton in it this year has attracted a new audience. DD has never watched it before, but when she saw Layton, she said “OMG it’s HIM!!!”.

Shock from Craig!!!

Is Shirl going to have to decide here?

Didn't mean to quote here though I disagree on the singing!

Oh dear....... Bobby's was much, much better as a dance.

DH and I have Take That tickets for next year. Can't wait!

Right couples in the final, whoever gets through

I also thought Annabel did a better job in the dance off.

I preferred Bobby’s.

I can’t bear this because her dance was beautiful.

I hate this. They should both be in the final. They're what Strictly is all about.

It was beautiful but not as together as Bobby's was.

Big phew!

Why don't they do a 4 couple final anymore?

Pivot turn my butt. 🙄
