Quite funny after Carlos's speech about being selfish the winning moment seems to be all about him. #Strictly

Carlos just happy the defending champion doesn't usually get benched. #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

Knew they'd won it the minute I put a bet on George. #Strictly

A shame they didn't go for some All Stars for Tess and Claudia's last Christmas show. #Strictly

Guessing someone pulled out of the final as Five were originally supposed to be in the semi final. #Strictly

Getting fed up now of pops mid-life crisis. Desperately need a new generation of pop bands. #Strictly

Isn't Queen Camilla Claudia's aunty in law twice removed or something? #Strictly

The Christmas Show will be odd having their last show again. #Strictly

They do need to clear the deadwood from the pro-line up so the newconers don't get benched after a series. #Strictly

One thing #Strictly needs to change next year is pre-recording things that could be live. The final really should be 100% live and the results show recorded as live rather than cut and paste together. Yes some pro-routines and guest acts need to be recorded in advance but not everyone.

Nominative determinism at its finest.

Glad we no longer have phone numbers over the recaps but the clips are far too brief. #Strictly

Why is Lewis the only one in blue? #Strictly

Could have saved so much time tonight just having Craig score then adding 30. #Strictly

Tess and Claudia have gone. #Strictly

SHOW 👏 US 👏 CLAUDIA’S 👏 SHOW 👏 DANCE 👏 #Strictly

I could’ve been a contender! A man sabotaged by the tofu eating wokerati for dancing like a shaved bear in a cruel Victorian circus and having the personality of an overbearing and entitled pub drunk. Bosh! #Strictly

Bold move doing a week 1 routine but that felt like a week one routine from Karen. 7/10. P.S. 9/10 for George - better but not perfect. #Strictly

As much as the withdrawals cause headaches I do prefer 3 in the final over 4 - saves us all half an hour. #Strictly

Alexis has been such a good addition to the show. The Americans often don't get it but she absolutely has. #Strictly

Have Shirley and Anton fallen out or has Anton got the Superflu? #Strictly

Have to wonder how different this final would have looked if the original cast had remained intact. #Strictly

By far the best routine from Amber and Nikita. Deserving of 10/10. #Strictly

Carlos’ best ever look was when he was Claudia tbf 😂 #strictly

Does feel like we've a genuine battle between George and Karen tonight and either would be a worthy winner. Odds have switched in last couple of days - momentum with Karen for sure but think bookies may underestimate George's core vote. #Strictly

That was good but felt like we've seen similar a couple of times before. A showdance should be something we wouldn't see in earlier weeks. 9/10. #Strictly

The 10s are all a bit meaningless tonight. #Strictly

I love reheated nachos #scd #Strictly

That was much more like it - a really smartly choreographed routine performed perfectly. Had something for everyone. Dance of the night so far. 10/10. #Strictly

This was my biggest tweet over in the bad place. It will live here now. 🧙‍♀️🎄

Amber clearly has a style she likes but not enough show in it for a showdance. Would have liked to have seen something completely different from her but like her couples choice it's more of the same. That said though it's worthy of a 9/10. #Strictly

That was one of the routines of the series and with the absence of Lewis happy to see that again. Don't think it was as clean as the first time though. 9/10. #Strictly

Whilst I enjoyed that more than Amber's I don't think nits worth more than an 8. #Strictly

Not really sure there is much point in the three extra votes. Surely at this point you back your horse rather than split anyway. #Strictly

Would have been better for the judges to pick a lower scoring routine to improve on. 8/10 for that - not convinced it's worthy of 9s and 10s. #Strictly

Bradley obviously expected this to air Christmas Day. #BlanketyBlank

A very short-sighted move by CG as now hardly anyone will see a games whose future is under question. Also very sad for athletes who get few chances to get publicity.

So for years confectionery has been banned from supermarket checkouts in the interest of the nations health but now #Tesco are lining their tills with gin and vodka this Christmas. Feels highly irresponsible at a time I suspect those with alcohol issues have to find the extra strength to resist.

Isn't it funny that there are sports rights-holders who are pushing hard to grow their smaller event to appeal to a returnable mass audience, and then ones that already have/had that who are like "But what if made this harder to find? Wouldn't that be great for everyone?!"

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

How I wish they'd never privatised Christmas. Wrapping was so much easier when the elves did it.

See there is another cheap and nasty Christmas TV guide on the shelves this year - Your Christmas TV. at £1.70. Poor value with just 4 pages of listings per day. Might as well pay a few pence more for What's on TV or TV Choice. Can't bring myself to shell out for the premium titles now.

The BBC really missed a trick not adding a SPOTY Peace Award this year. Could have saved them billions.

MY GOD look at how much comedy used to be on the BBC.
