Cant lie, this is just proof that this really is Nikita’s season.

[LiamPennington]

How far we've gone.

I'm 43. I remember prime time TV being straight couples, straight contestants, straight winners, hosted by end of the pier comedians telling straight jokes. I remember TV being a cage, locked by mainstream people for mainstream lives and mainstream audiences.

Strictly is a great example of 'soft power', something Bake Off does, something Eurovision does, something slowly, slowly, changing things

This routine would have been unthinkable 20 years ago. Perhaps even 10 years ago.

Thank you Strictly. Thank you BBC. Thank you progress. Remember, no matter the noise from the usual quarters, progress continues. Carry on.

The other dancers where not needed ... Vito and Nikita held the audience with the narrative. Stunning performance.

Nikita has something magical about him. What an asset to the show

[lilylaw]

54 years old and sobbing my eyes out. We've come so far from my childhood and Mr Humphreys and Larry Grayson. That was so emotional and so beautiful. Nikita has been on fire this series.

I keep returning to this again and again....
Reading the comments, I'm starting to feel like I've dropped into a parallel universe where love is celebrated. The overwhelming positivity is making me hopeful for the future.
I just wish I'd had 'something like this' when I was growing up.

Heterosexual 60+ woman here, in floods of tears. What a beautiful performance, we need more of this, absolutely joyous.❤

[ANDREWPOLLARD-endf]

I love this. It spoke to my years of loneliness and the years of being told that my feelings were unacceptable to my family, the church and much of society. Thankyou Strictly for welcoming me into your narrative and reaching out with empathy to your viewers. 😢❤

[mrmrjobo]

‘I want something just like this’ that one lyric to this dance perfectly encapsulates how many of us feel who come out later in life who missed out on beautiful moments like this when we were younger

[lukec]

Absolutely gorgeous. Stunning from Vito & Nikita. The storytelling was sublime. Made me quite emotional tbh. It was everything I had hoped it would be. WOW. The affection they both showed towards each other was so heartwarming to see. The fact Nikita has known Vito for many years & they danced that INCREDIBLE pro number like they did made it so special. Truly spectacular 😍🥰👏👏 well done guys. Loved

[stepheboyd]

Nikita has so much star quality, he is an amazing dancer, he is witty and a little cheeky. In the words of Craig he’s gorgeous darling.

[Sarah-fyqf]

I just love the cuddle at the end when Vito pulls Nikita closer. Looks like real love not just going through the motions. The acting from both was great.

[danjon]

One of the best pro dances. It was THAT good.

[luckystarship]

The set-designers surpassed themselves with this. Amazing work.

[michellegates]

I’ve officially lost count of the times I’ve rewatched this now and I still tear up every time! Nikita and Vito are absolutely mesmerising in a beautifully choreographed dance, just amazing!! I love them both but have to agree with previous comments - it’s Nikitas season for sure, he’s smashing it ❤

[jillfenton]

Has to be one of the top professional dances since the birth of Strictly.

[annamarie]

1. This is literally the best and cutest pro dance ever 2. Layton and Nikita for the win 3. Who ever came up with this dance thank you 🙏🏼 4. Nikita is thriving in this season and I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[harleygould]

Not familiar with this show, or either of these two dancers, but this is EXACTLY what dance is meant to do. Great choreography, great storytelling, Great use of a great set for them.

[gudrunvansteenbergen]

I have always Nikita. But this year. He is just wow. There is something about him.

[thethjudge]

this might just be my favourite pro dance ever on strictly, and this is coming from someone who usually couldn’t care less about pro routines, but this had me HOOKED
