One of the most gifted groups on Strictly! What a series this was!

[@nichemphill8321]

If anyone was wondering why Karen only appeared seated in that routine she had hurt her foot and was unable to dance, but was not going to miss out. Other absentees were Tilly (covid) and Robert who declined to attend due to his previous heart issue.

[@ellarosexx25]

Thank u! :)

[@Sunflower_vally]

Karen actually hurt her knee

[@maxbainbridge8130]

Karen hurt her knee and that’s why you can slightly see her wearing a knee brace

[@nichemphill8321]

@@maxbainbridge8130 I put foot as I was distracted by my own foot injury, And she spoke about AJ'S injury as well.

This might explain why Tom kept cropping up where there obviously was meant to be another female dancer holding a prop.

ok this was one of the best seasons in a while thanks for making my Saturday nights during this strange year, a break from reality with dances that made me get up dance to ones that made me laugh to tears or tears of grace and beauty , thanks again strictly

[@nicolea7086]

Thank you strictly!! I love this group dance so much! All of the cast had such iconic dances and it was really heartwarming to see them together again

Amazing group dance!!! Everybody had their moment to shine, Nina and her African moves, Katie having Gorka as her pet, Greg coming out of the shell, Ugo and his wig, Judi and the twerking, Adam and his Cha Cha moment, Sara's Ballroom, Tom on the lounge, Dan and the crabs and then Rhys came along and took over the show! What an amazing series 👏👏🎉🎊🌟 Pity tho that Tilly and Robert couldn't have returned, could have had Matilda and the muppets involved but ahh well things happen :/

[@Ljdaisyx]

I think they could of had the curtains from Roberts Kermit thing with Nina’s throne behind it but Dianne and Robert be infront and Dianne can dance around Robert than he can go off screen and come back in to do the ending. Tilly could of had one of her previous dances on a screen that they all dragged in and danced around and aj could be sat on that sofa she had in one of her dances (can’t remember which) and at the end they could move the sofa to the front so she could be in the ending. I would of liked this cause Karen had hurt her foot but still got to sit and be apart of it

[@pennyandfishy7241]

I agree with this they could have easily compromised for them

[@bessieburnet9816]

Tilly had Covid, so she at least had an excuse, but not Robert in my eyes. Yeah, you can claim about his heart, but he's had plenty of rest and he managed three weeks well without anything happening. He can manage one more. And he didn't have to actually dance. He could just appear like Karen did.

[@user-zw5hz1ph9s]

Robert said on instagram that he was invited back but declined, they can't exactly force him to be there if he didn't want to.

This was definitely not one of my favourites series of strictly, although I think Rose was one of the best winners. This final group dance though was one of my favourite eliminated couples routines ever ( especially Dan and Nadiya’s crab dance. Also a reminder that Rhys should have been in the final and would have been if the final had been between four couples as it has in recent years, rather than three, especially since AJ had to withdraw due to injury
