4 more days. Just 4 more days to go now. We are almost there, team. #ChristmasCountdown

Simon, that was SUBLIME!!! Cleared all the categories by himself, put all that money in & with the help of Chris McCausland, he has scooped the lot, all £35k of it. A well earned & deserved win! #TheWheel

Smack bang in the middle. £35k on the line as Chris has been nominated. It all rests on this. Simon's final question will be on...Space. #TheWheel

Strongest Expert: George (half the pot) Middle Expert: Chris (the whole pot) Weakest Expert: Judi (double the pot) Those are the only 3 experts available. #TheWheel

That's the wheel cleared!!! Simon has been the only contestant up in the spotlight all evening up to now, but now this is where it really matters: cash out. #TheWheel

No brainer, there. #TheWheel

FINALLY success with an expert question. £10k! #TheWheel

Not surprised that Judi has been shutdown after that EMBARRASSING performance in the moneyspinner. Also more experts messing up in their area of expertise. Yikes. #TheWheel

What the hell was that? Judi, that was an almighty HOWLER!!!! #TheWheel

Apart from the shutdown, Simon is doing well with 3 right answers. Now he can relax as this is all celeb work. I am of course talking about the moneyspinner. #TheWheel

Oh that was a quick re-emergence of Simon. He's immediately back up. #TheWheel

Oh dear. We're gonna need to avoid seeing experts getting questions in their category wrong because that is what happens when they're not careful. Simon's outta here for now. #TheWheel

Charlene, Kate-Leigh & Simon are the contestants this week. Simon is first to play & is off to a good start with one category down. Also coincidentally, we get double dose of George Clarke tonight as he is also on the wheel. #TheWheel

They started their journey with the jive & ended it with a jive. Now it is tears of sheer delight for Karen Carney & Carlos Gu, who have just become Strictly Come Dancing GRAND CHAMPIONS 2025!!!! Big big congratulations!! #Strictly #Champion #TheWinner

Time to crown our winner. #Strictly

Thank you, Tess & Claudia. What a run. Whoever steps up as the new hosts have some big shoes & high heels to fill, that much is clear. All the best. #Strictly

The winners identity is now sealed & locked into place. That is because the final vote of the series is now closed!! Now the viewers job is now done. #Strictly

Both Carlos Gu & Nikita Kuzmin are competing in their 2nd final, but Alexis has made the final on her debut year. For one of them, a first glitter ball trophy awaits. #Strictly

That was the class of 2025!!! #Strictly

2 rounds of dancing done for the finalists. One more dance to go, but it's time for the nationwide viewer jury to leap into action. Britain, start voting...NOW!!! The vote closes at 9:00pm and remember, the viewers have all the power & 8 votes to play with. #Strictly

Here they are, our three musketeers. Good evening, FINALISTS!! One of them will lift the trophy tonight. All the best to them and all the best to Tess & Claudia on their final night in the ballroom. #Strictly

The jackpot got away from Farrah & Zeenat, but they did win £2,150 for their efforts. #PictureSlam

That right answer has done it. Well done, girls. #PictureSlam

Let's not hang about a moment longer. Here comes the contents of this week's #SaturdayNightTV.

5 more days to go. It's getting nearer. #ChristmasCountdown

For many of us, that was the last full working/school week of 2025 as the festive season really starts to kick into high gear. The best day of the week has arrived as we jump into the last Saturday before Christmas. #Saturday

Here's how my JESC 2025 predictions fared last Saturday. I got 5 right out of a possible 12. #JESC2025

Onwards, team. 6 more days left. #ChristmasCountdown

We're into the homestretch now. The final stretch is upon us. 7 more sleeps. Christmas Day is point blank one week away. #ChristmasCountdown

For the 2nd time in 3 years, the winning country has used their right of first refusal to opt out of hosting next year's Junior Eurovision. Where will we be going for JESC 2026? #JESC2025

8 more days. That's all I'll say. #ChristmasCountdown

We are now entering single digits as far as the Christmas Countdown is concerned. 9 days to go now. Hang in there, everyone. #ChristmasCountdown

35 countries confirmed for Vienna 2026 with Bulgaria, Moldova & Romania retuning, but with Israel in, Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia & Iceland are all out. It's the lowest number of participating countries since the semi-finals were introduced. #Eurovision #ESC2026

Jumping into the 3rd week of the countdown. 10 more sleeps to go. #ChristmasCountdown

A unanimous decision from the judges have sent Amber & Nikita into the final. Balvinder & Julian have survived more dance-offs than I can keep count of, but they didn't survive this one tonight. They are out of the contest at this most cruellest point. #Strictly

Good luck choosing between them, judges. Craig has the casting vote, if needs be. #Strictly

George & Alexis and Karen & Carlos have secured their tickets direkt til finalen. This looming dance-off will decide whether Balvinder & Julian or Amber & Nikita will join them #Strictly

The last #Strictly results show of the year at 7:45pm on BBC One and it's the most brutal one yet as one more couple will fall at this, the last hurdle. Survive this & the glitter ball will be within their grasp. Tonight, the finalists will be revealed. #Strictly

11 more sleeps to go. This countdown seems to be going by rather fast. #ChristmasCountdown

You have made your choices and now, the identity of the finalists is sealed because the voting is closed. #Strictly

YES!!!! The taste of sweet success for Natasha!! She has just won a wonderful £54k!!! Tony came good when it mattered. #TheWheel

It's Tony. So there is £54k resting on Natasha's final question, which will be on... Pastries. #TheWheel

Strongest Expert: Richie (half the pot) Middle Expert: Anton (the whole pot) Weakest Expert: Tony (double the pot) That narrows the field down to these 3. #TheWheel

That's the wheel cleared. Time for Natasha to play cash out with £27k on the line. #TheWheel

A rare feat of perfect wheel!!! £3k + £5k equals £8k. #TheWheel

It appears Anton is not a Swiftie. #TheWheel

Here we go with the moneyspinner round. #TheWheel

I don't know what kind of game play was that, going for a category who's expert is shutdown. #TheWheel

Family Fortunes & Family Feud are different names. That's sent Danny down & as a result, Sue is in the game, meaning we have now met all 3 contestants. #TheWheel

An incredible 13 sets of 10s we're awarded tonight as we look at the semi-final leaderboard. Voting is opened for you to cast your votes, but it closes at 8:30pm, so in about 9 minutes. #Strictly
