Glitterballs and goodbyes next time
As always, thanks for watching along with me, lovely sequin-spangled community. Our remaining three couples now dance into the gala grand final, where they will perform not one, not two, but three full routines apiece in their bid to get their mitts on that ballroom bauble.
It will also mark our live farewell to the Tess-and-Claud dream team. Don’t, you’ll set me off.
The final airs next Saturday at 7pm on BBC1. See you back here to wave our virtual scoring paddles and salute our Strictly 2025 champion. In the meantime, for the penultimate time this series: keeeeep dancing! Thank you and a glittery goodnight.
Finally, limbolaurie says: “Amber isn’t getting public support because she dances in theatres for a living. But perhaps also because Amber’s dances are beautiful but in, my opinion lacking in emotion. Compared to George’s Charleston or Kaz’s waltz, they do not exude feelings. Or is that just me?”
ABH2018 says: “Lovely to see Bal holding Tess’s hand so warmly.”
Somersetlass says: “What a beautiful, graceful exit speech from Bal, with no gushing. I know some people who know her read this blog: please tell her how brilliant she is.”
elfwyn adds: “So sorry to see Balvinder go. She’s been amazing, and what a display of tenacity and determination! I voted for her but mostly for Kaz, who is also amazing. It’s been so lovely to watch both of them improve (I’m not going to use the ‘j’ word) to a level which has delighted and surprised everyone, including themselves. Nothing would make me happier than to see Kaz lift the trophy next week!”
