I can’t imagine anyone not getting on with Giovanni, even the grumpiest of people.

Fanny from Ghosts must be partnered with Giovanni. She can him Gio, saying the “O” part in that clipped, haughty way she says her “ohs”. Gio can call her “Fann-eh” in the way he used to call Debbie “Debb-eh”.

Oh and Jay Blades but think he might have done a Christmas special so not sure if he'd be allowed.

Helen Skelton, Simon (LWMOB) Webbe and Matt Goss all did the main show after doing the Xmas special, so it wouldn't rule him out. Jay was a bit rubbish though so I can't see him signing up for a full series.

I also agree that is wasn’t fair that Ellie’s Show Dance got penalised because she didn’t get the lift right, but Nikita and Layton’s didn’t when Nikita ballsed up with the hat. It’s like the judges are saying they expect perfection from the Celebs but not the professional dancers.

But it's the celeb they're judging. The pro is only there as an assistant/guide.

Have met Giovanni out and about. Such a lovely gentleman and so happy to pose with a group of mad strictly fans!

Ooh yes, Will! I think themed Strictlys are a great idea! You could definitely have a Repair Shop one.Steve doing a jive to ‘Rock around the Clock’.

Managed to watch on catchup with no spoilers.
I'm so pleased Ellie won.
I thought her show dance was incredible despite the little mistake at the end.
She should have had a 10 as was far more complicated choreography than the others.

Salt-n-Pepa Push it

I have just remembered the perfect song for Fanny - Sugababes 'Push the Button.'

Morning you lovely lot

I missed the final so caught up on iplayer until 1am

Out of the 3 I'm so glad Ellie won.

As always thanks so much for the threads. They really do make the show.

Future contestants?

Jill Scott - ladies footballer (will tall pro) - sports contestant

Ben Fogle - good egg contestant

Phil and Grant Mitchell (both) - Eastenders contestants

Tom Daley - Gay contestant, but doesn’t have to dance with male contestant

Youth contestant - don’t know

Sue Barker - good egg contestant

Tim Henman - sports contestant (and I think he would look dashing in black tie)

til next year !

mydogisthebest · 17/12/2023 10:51

I was really happy that Ellie won as I have wanted her to win since about week 2. Would have been happy if Layton had won though.

Pleased that Layton was only in the dance off once despite all the predictions that he would be in it week after week. Bobby was in it more than him.

When you think Ashley Roberts was in it 3 times and Alexandra Burke 2 times Layton could not have been that disliked. All the polls I saw had him behind Ellie but ahead of Bobby.

I’d like Mary Earps as a sports pro. She’d need to be paired with Johannes or Kai, she’s tall.

Rugby player, maybe Alun-Wyn Jones. Paired with Nadiya.

Id like to see the athletes Laura Muir or Katarina Johnson-Thompson, especially if they retire after the Paris Olympics (not sure of their ages). Colin Jackson and Denise Lewis were both great when they competed.

EvilRingahBitch · 17/12/2023 11:29

I still want Rio Ferdinand to do it, but he keeps refusing. He went to the Royal Ballet School for a bit, so he should be a great surprising ringer.

Colin and those bloody dummies! Biggest Strictly travesty ever!

Strictly doesn't tend to attract a lot of footballers (I'm struggling to think of any). I guess they make enough money in their playing careers, and there are so many media opportunities for them as commentators, that they to not need a relaunch via this sort of show.

EvilRingahBitch · 17/12/2023 11:34

I was gutted by the dummy dance, but Darren had it in the bag from weeks out. Remember that at the time (unless I've got my years wrong?) you could vote all week, so it was probably a foregone conclusion by the Wednesday.

NeedWineNow · 17/12/2023 11:36

We were out last night so have just caught up with the final.

so glad that Ellie won, even in spite of her wobble on her show dance. She was my favourite all the way through, and it's been lovely to see her improve over the series. Both she and Bobby were what Strictly is all about. That's not to deny that Layton is one superb dancer. OMG can he move, and DH said he'd probably never have to audition for a show in the future. It's just that he came into the show as a professional dancer which did give him an advantage whatever the judges said.

it's been a cracking series and these threads have been great. It's been really good to read everyone's opinions. Here's to next year!

Has Ian Wright done it? He's just announced he is leaving Match of the Day.

You won't see any sports people until they have retired (or in Louis Smith's case sorted of retired only to decide to go on). Firstly it would clash with their sporting schedule and secondly in a sport that pays you a (massive) wage the contract wouldn't allow the risk of injury.

@SaraBarca1 - I prefer the spiky excellence of Layton but he was way too divisive to ever win. Admittedly he's not a warm and cuddly character and has way too much of an edge to win the majority vote

But he was a PROFESSIONAL DANCER before this. That's not what Strictly is about.

I actually grew to like Layton as a person. It was just the whole professional dancer thing that stopped me voting as far as I was concerned.

EvilRingahBitch · 17/12/2023 12:11

And who could forget Peter Schmeichel and Peter Shilton?
answer: practically everybody.

Julian dancing to "Donald where's yer troosers?"

That's exactly what went through my mind 😂
