Sparkling sequins, lurex and chiffon Christmas pants are always in the shade, not to mention the sparkling bravo. In this year, however, Strictly dancehe would have left who saw no one to drive who would win in the end.
The official “high scoring” Strictly last ever,” according to Mistress of Ceremonies, Claudia Winkleman Christopher McCauslandwho lost sight of the 25-year-old who walked away victorious on Saturday night, accompanied by his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell.
“I learned that I was more than I thought I was,” McCausland said. “It was full of so many fun moments.”
“I think it will change people’s lives, my friend,” declared Anthony du Beke. Even the infamous Grouch, Craig Revel Horwood, took to poetry, directing the closing lines to the incoming winner: “You are a light that shines for all to see.”
Greeting McCausland after a waltz to the adopted Liverpudlian anthem, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s You’ll Never Walk Alone, Winkleman congratulates McCausland with the words: “Chris, you’ve officially crushed Craig Revel Horwood and we’re all grateful.”
Comedian McCausland, who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa and who led the bet to the final stage, was crowned king of the dance at the show’s anniversary edition.
The 47-year-old was honored for surpassing all expectations as he explored multiple routines with great skill and power throughout the series.
“This is a ridiculously big final,” said Du Beke after watching the crowd applaud contestant Sarah Hadland and her partner Vito for their dance performance. Miranda The actor said he always called it a “big fantasy” when he watched the finals as a “superfan”.
Another likely challenger, TV presenter and former member of JLS, JB Gill, has been praised for fighting back into form after finding himself at the bottom of the scoreboard in the first round.
Perhaps the most praised dancer Tasha Ghouri earned another perfect score and was hailed by Du Beke as the best dancer to ever appear on the show.
A classic moment Strictly schmaltz, her dance partner, Aljaž Škorjanec, told Ghouri that after five years of dancing, she fell in love with him again while dancing with her. Ghouri, once Love Island He left who has partial hearing, scored a perfect 10* through the series.
In the last series of the series, all four finalists sparkled as if they were out of date, as was briefly the case this summer, when the BBC’s gem of a show was almost canceled amid controversial accusations of abuse by contestants.
McCausland had left the show blind for the first time. Prince has never dominated the charts, but his superlative efforts in the public vote led to a popular vote with everyone on Saturday night.
It was sensational to praise McCausland as the first blind winner of the show.
Steven Morris, who is deaf and blind and an officer in the disability charity, said: “Historians of Christ Strictly dance winning goes to show that given opportunities and support, disabled people can break through barriers, many wrongly think that it is possible.
“This is an important point for representation. Disabled people make up almost a quarter – 24% of the population, but more than a third, 39% – say their experiences are never or rarely seen in the media.
“Hopefully, Chris’s success will lead to more disabled people being included in the biggest TV shows.”
Viewers who are currently feeling down can seek solace in the anniversary celebration show which will air on the BBC next Saturday.
