[@Karl-bw8rp]

Dianne seems like such a joyous, delightful person. So happy to see her finally get her flowers!

[@wynrobertmorgan3455]

What Chris has Accomplished in the last 12 weeks is simply incredible. Just close your eyes People for 30 secs and then open them my god I’m lucky. Brilliant well done Chris

[@MTC12617]

Fully agree. We take so much for granted! Chris truly exemplifies grit and determination. Well done to him and Dianne. ❤️

[@hollymatton474]

This was honestly one of the most brilliant, iconic and joyful show dances that I've ever seen on strictly come dancing! I'm so, so thrilled that Chris and Dianne won, they are absolutely incredible and have proven that anything is possible and you can achieve things that other people believe you can't! ❤❤

[@lindaholden3677]

Was that glitter ball ever more deserved? Chris deserves it for his guts, hard work, and determination, and Dianne for her brilliant teaching ability, fun, and sheer joy in helping Chris to dance. Congratulations to both for making this an outstanding series.

[@michaelvega6646]

After getting runner-up twice Dianne gets her first win, and Chris makes history by being the first blind celebrity to win

[@thehungrygoldfish]

To be fair, he is the only blind person who has been on Strictly lol. I think he’s only the second blind person who has appeared in a celebrity dancing show globally.

[@michaelvega6646]

@thehungrygoldfish that's right cause here in America we had a blind celebrity compete in season 27 of our version of the show dancing with the stars. Hopefully, we'll have another blind celebrity to compete and win

After quite honestly the worst year of my entire life this has been the best thing to happen all year for me. I see you don’t achieve those dreams the dreams that I have for myself after being snob so tight and for her to achieve that with Chris who is to fight all arts has honestly made me so emotional and I am so happy for her, and for him

[@asmrwithannie]

That was incredible! All those crazy lifts. Chris is amazing. And Dianne is the best teacher x

[@lunagrace8717]

For Chris this is a win over the blindness....Sometimes life takes from us cruelly and is moments like these that give us a chance to take something back, fist in the air and triumphant. I'm so moved by Chris's tenacity, strength and resilience....Dianne did an amazing job as a teacher and as a guide , so very well deserved for he too, she is a beautiful dancer, it was her time .....I cried....CONGRATULATIONS 👏 👏 👏 thank you for these weeks of joy , keep on dancing 💖💖💖💖

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *10* Chris has brought his best game and at the best time, this was so joyous to watch, and yeah he does have the music in him 100%, this was so beautiful, his ballroom has always been amazing, lovely to see such an improvement on the Tango he originally did. The power and energy gave throughout never faded and I love how happy Dianne is everytime they finish, she's just the best and the most worthiest pro of the gliterrball, her and Chris have worked to a level nobody has ever on Strictly before and it shows with how beautifully consistent they've been each week, this was just pure magic and entertainment, everything a Showdance is truly about! ❤

[@jackreacher3632]

Wish I had someone like Dianne in my life, fun girl and amazing character. Good luck to them both.

[@eddie_dee_123]

So happy for Chris and Dianne. They both deserve that glitterball. I'll miss watching them dance every Saturday though!!

[@shh8769]

All of the comments about him not being the best dancer when it's rare that the best dancer actually wins. The last time was probably Kelvin Fletcher in 2019 but its a rarity that you get someone who is the best dancer AND connects with the public which is the most important part

[@davethewife7628]

This for me was the best strictly this year..its been fun and joyful ❤

[@user-ed7iq7pm1j]

What a fun routine. Loved it and danced incredibly well. Thank you for entertaining us.

phenemonal, Im so so so so glad Chris and Diane won. I was in tears, anyone saying it was the sympathy vote really hasnt a clue, its the admiration and inspiration vote. Just so so so so so so happy for them.

Not trying to be combative, but from a disability rights point of view, “the inspiration vote” is also problematic-you might want to look up the idea of inspiration porn.

Chris is amazing because he could not see what he was doing and what the others were dancing and he just put in the past and got on with it he is truly amazing We love u Chris ♥️♥️

[@SimonThurston-o9v]

Huge congratulations to both Chris & Dianne, thoroughly deserved...i never stopped voting!!! A great genuine partnership, both on and off the dancefloor. They have both brought out special things from one another and surprised each other along their emotional Strictly journey. I hope they continue to dance and to show the world just what people with disabilities can achieve in life, if given the opportunity and loving support. Dianne is already an amazing dancer but on a separate note, as a Teacher to get Chris to that standard of dancing was just jaw dropping. I hope the British Royal Family watched last nights Final, as they both now deserve to be recognised in the New Years Honours List for what they have just achieved and highlighted to the world...that anything is possible regardless of a disability, if you have the right loving support around you. They have been an inspiration to the UNIVERSE!!! Love and best wishes to you both...keeeeeep dancing!!! Len Goodman will also have been watching, with a big smile on his face. It would deffo have been a 10, from our lovely former head judge Len. 🎉🎉XX

[@Bethhhf]

Congratulations Chris and Dianne 🥳🏆👏🏻

[@beth_0498]

I feel so silly sat here crying to such a happy and up beat dance and song. But he makes me so emotional it's so amazing and inspirational

[@leoniehowie1694]

Absolutely fabulous, well-deserved 🧡

[@Charliefarley170287]

The lyrics of this are very apt. “You only get what you give” - they gave us joy, great dances, lovely personalities so we gave back the love with votes. “We’re gonna kick you ass” they showed the negative messages that Dianne got that he’s prove them wrong with dancing a humour. So proud to see sarcastic, blunt but not that active Chris become a soft and bouncy young man through the love of dance and help of a sweet friend.

[@hannahjones4574]

[@lizzieromilly7174]

Chris and Diane! No words! Just wonderful! ❤❤❤

[@SolFaithman]

For the minority saying its fixed, or its the sympathy vote or the Country has gone "woke"....maybe just take a moment to look at the number of views on here for all Chris and Dianne's dances compared to all the other contestant. This video, for example, has more views than the other 3 show dances put together. The number of posts on the Strictly Facebook post is similarly skewed to Chris and Dianne. The overwhelming majority of those engagements are positive and they are positive for a reason - people like Chris, they like Dianne, they are invested in their journey, they are supporting the underdog, they are willing him to overcome a serious disability and show that with some effort anyone can do anything when they set their mind to it. Translate those sort of numbers into votes and its no surprise they won.

[@elainemeyer-hp6ye]

Amazing ❤️❤️

[@scarlethreadd]

My heart is full, Chris and Dianne deserved to win. ❤🎉

[@SunshineMix101]

Over past few years I have become used to the best dancer not winning but I feel this was the first time in a long time when any one of the finalists would have made worthy winners. I did think from quite early on that Christ had tremendous musicality and timing, not just for a blind guy but in general. It was clear he was doing performances that many people with sight would struggle with. My money was always with Chris but I wouldn't have argued if JB, Sarah Hadland, or Tasha Ghouri had won because they are each brilliant dancers. Strictly really is a great dance completion but not like any other. Others focus almost exclusively on technical prowess whereas, through the decision to let the public decide the winner, SCD takes into account that aspect of dance which is ephemeral. It comes in the form of joy, pleasure as well as technical competence. Chris is certainly an inspiration for people as his success and achievement reminds everyone to look beyond what is immediately apparent and see the potential which may be obscured on all of us. I enjoy SCD but this season really has been one of the best. Well done to Chris and Dianne!

[@helenhargreaves7485]

This gives me goosebumps. My Dad died of cancer in 1999. This song was one of his favourites as he literally lay on his death bed. 7 years later, on my Dad's birthday, my son was born. He was diagnosed as congenitally blind. He, like Chris, strives to break down barriers and stereotypes. Blind people are no more incredible than sighted folk, but my God, do they work so hard and think outside the box. Chris, you're an inspiration. To my son, you are incredible. ❤

[@Oliver25yt]

Well done Chris they deserved to win ❤

[@gabrielasz94]

I’ve been watching Strictly for years, and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier about someone lifting that glitterball trophy. I’m not from the UK, so I usually don’t know most of the contestants. Let me tell you… getting to know Chris and watching him every week was such a joy. He is so naturally funny and engaging, his dancing was brilliant, but what I love the most about him is his gentle soul that shone through his interactions with the wonderful Dianne. You could tell how much he appreciated her. Those kisses on the back of her hand after every single dance and the genuine “did I do well?” as they embraced got me every time. You did so well, Chris. You really did. And so did you, Dianne. I couldn’t be happier for you two ❤️ Seeing Chris in tears tonight… I was a mess 🥹

[@HaloSummer-l1c]

Am so glad he won strictly he was the best one Me 10 🥰 Dad 10 Mum 10 Grace 10

[@judieloveday1643]

Congratulations Chris & Dianne. Couldn't spot Joe or Mark & Rina in the audience, but I'm sure they were so excited to be there to witness that.

[@ribena607]

Congratulations Chris and Dianne! I knew would ultimately win. Any one of the others could have won on any other year, including Jamie and Montell, who both went out too soon. My votes actually went to JB, but it seems fitting to have someone extraordinary win the finale that celebrates 20 years of Strictly. It really encapsulates what the show is about, what it does for the participants and viewers, and that it is more than just great dancing. You've been amazing Chris.

[@dkane2067]

Amazing 🤩 very well deserved 🎉❤

[@mel24681]

Bravo to Chris and Dianne. To dance so freely,with so much trust, with such joy and to be blind, is incredible. Very well deserved❤

[@JustAlex848]

I am not a fan of Strictly in the slightest, but this is impressive. Sometimes I close my eyes while doing a task, just to see what it is like for blind people, and I am just useless. How on earth this bloke can dance like a professional whilst being BLIND is baffling to me. Fair play.

[@meredithgrace4337]

And last but certainly not least our WINNERS OF STRICTLY COME DANCING 2024 CHRIS McCAUSLAND AND DIANNE BUSWELL. I will say it, yell it, my favourites WON yes get in, I get very emotional about who my favourites are and if they win or not and it was so lovely to see a deserving pair win Strictly Come Dancing (not that the other couple's didn't deserve to win) however I will say that I think Chris and Dianne worked the hardest and the most for this and they deserve and deserved the win hole heartedly., love you both amazing the pair of you. I would have liked this pair to do more of a classical Showdance however I liked how the different moves from the different dances this pair has done though out this series was incorporated into their Showdance which I enjoyed. Well Done to Well Done to Chris McCausland & Dianne for being amazing in the show an with there dancing. for being amazing in the show an with there dancing, what a great what a great way to end Strictly Come Dancing 2024.

A wonderful show dance to an absolute banger of a song. I watched the whole final with a smile on my face but this dance added joyful tears to the smile. Who needs technical brilliance when you move people in the way these two consistently have? I voted for JB (I’m a sucker for Motown and love Lauren) but am delighted with Chris’s well deserved win 🏆

[@halflink]

Chris, even if I were not rooting for you since Week 1 (which I was), you would have got me the moment you said that the Glitterball trophy would not be for you, it would be for Dianne. But as Dianne said, you did it together. I personally voted not just for you, but for this incredible partnership. This is what happens when two talented, intelligent, kind and genuine people come together and work towards common goal (even if that goal was to stay in the competition until November 😃): they ruin Strictly for all of us because I have no idea how can anything come close to this season, let alone top it 😁 You gave each other - and us - so much (and broke Craig in the process 😀). And what we gave you in return as a sign of our love and admiration is some round thing with the rough edges 😀
