This has to be the best series of Strictly yet, everyone is a winner for just getting this far, a huge congratulation to all the production team, the Strictly band, the professionals and the judges for making the television programme of 2014, (in my opinion).

Our celebrities dancing three dances each including the world famous show dance routine.

Frankie & Kevin Judges choice Samba C9 D10 L10B10 T39

A very fluid performance that was full of energy and more carnival spirit than you could shake a stick at, a winning routine to open any show.

Mark & Karen Judges choice Cha Cha C8 D9 L9 B9 T35

A cheeky little Cha Cha from Mark & Karen with lots of content, hip action and flair

Caroline & Pasha Judges choice Cha Cha C10 D10 L10 B10 T40

An amazing performed routine that was phrased beautifully to the music with Caroline’s amazing leg line being shown to near perfection.

Simon & Kristina Judges Choice Charleston C9 D10 L10 B10 T39

A cool, calm and collected Charleston that was full of charisma, character and comedy timing, with great moves and a great winning partnership.

Frankie & Kevin Showdance ‘Get Happy’ C9 D9 L10 B10 T38

This was absolutely perfect as a showdance, great combinations, great style, great technique, great movements with perfect musicality and presentation.

Mark & Karen Showdance ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ C8 D9 L9 B9 T35

A very light footed fast paced Jive running around the studio like the Tasmanian devil. With great kicks and flicks and an energy level that went through the roof.

Caroline & Pasha Showdance ‘Angels’ C10 D10 L10 B10 T40

An unbelievable passionate routine, with perfect seamless transitions this has to be one of the most moving performances of the series.

Simon & Kristina Showdance ‘ A Little Less Conversation’ C9 D10 L10 B10 T39

With more dance styles than a dance festival in June, Simon has had the hardest journey this series but has travelled the furthest. A brilliant performance performed with expertise.

The votes were then counted and verified and the celebrities that were through to the grand final were. Simon & Kristina, Caroline & Pasha and Frankie & Kevin who all get to perform the dance of their own choice.

Mark you have made such an impact on lots of people and should be very proud of your new found dancing ability.

Frankie & Kevin Paso Doblé C9 D10 L10 B10 T39

A-ma-zing Paso with true passion, determination and accurate attack.

Caroline & Pasha Charleston C10 D10 L10 B10 T40

I was quite surprised when they said they had chosen this as their dance, but it really was a professional performance.

Simon & Kristina Argentine Tango C10 D10 L10 B10 T40

For me this was their best dance of the series and for any male celebrity to perform with this level of intent and determination takes a true performer and a true dancer.

It really was a close call on every level, but there can be only one winner, and so we crown our Strictly 2014 Champions………………… Caroline & Pasha!!

What a fantastic series unbelievable, thank you for sharing my journey, have a wonderful Christmas and prosperous New Year. Keep Happy, Keep Healthy and Keeeeeeeep Dancing.
