2018 was a terrific year for Strictly, a great series, fabulous final, wonderful winners. This Christmas special was probably the best special ever. Bringing back previous contestants often makes for better shows. The production values, sets and routines were all stunning and what a lineup. Great to see Aston Merrygold win the trophy. The only sadness is knowing that Caroline Flack is no longer with us.

I'm really pleased that Aston won. He should have stayed a lot longer when he was on the actual show last year.

I literally spat out my drink when Craig gave Ann a 2. Not because of shock. Because of laughter, poor Ann lmao.

A British friend of mine convinced me to watch this with her. And honestly, these performances were way better than the American ones. And yes I am American. This was great and I might plan to watch more of these if I get more motivation. :)
