I think this was possibly the best final I have ever seen on Strictly, every finalist deserved to be there and every single performance was amazing. I personally would have voted for Bobby if I lived in the UK, I felt like he danced better tonight than ever before, but congratulations to Ellie and Vito, they are worthy winners!! 💖

[@eddiebaby22]

True

[@snufkinhollow318]

I completely agree with you. Superb final.

[@CandleLight1974]

It wasn't a patch on those of the last eight years. That said, Bobby and Dianne were robbed by a "couple" with a showmance and a whole load of mistakes.

[@DazBradyLM]

Just so.moving and emotionally powerful. Seeing Dianne so visibly moved as well. A truly memorable Couple's Choice. Wish Bobby all the best for the future.

[@mimib6787]

Unbelievably beautiful the first time, unbelievably beautiful the second time. You’re a winner regardless, Bobby ❤

[@Dancerama6]

As someone who lost their mom at a young age, this dance really spoke to me in a way no other has in a very long time in watching this show. It’s sad that Bobby didn’t win. But he can walk away knowing how unforgettable he was.

[@rileymartin2202]

I can’t with Diane ready to burst into tears the entire time😭

[@shelleyphilcox4743]

Bobby and Diane have been an absolute delight to watch throughout, with great consistency across latin and ballroom. This routine is exquisitely performed and deeply moving. Bobby has a particular quality of being able to dance in a way that invites everyone into his joy or sorrow, with every step and gesture, which is a rare thing to see and experience. I have been captivated watching him each week. Beautiful hands Bobby! Diane, wonderful teacher to have brought Bobby so far along with you, and you were both fabulous to watch together throughout the season.

[@tonebalone73]

I don’t normally get emotional but this performance really pulled at my heart strings. Such a beautiful performance by Bobby & Dianne! You make your parents proud 🥰🥰🥰

[@stevemccrory9130]

Got 4 of my 6 votes tonight. Strictly was "Bobbified" tonight - he brought the hips, the fighting spirit, the La La style, and the emotion. We saw a boy become a man....a man that can dance.

[@PreppiesX0X0]

Movingly, emotionally beautiful. This was such a beautiful dance. The moons and stars to represent the sky felt like I was in a whole new magical place! This was truly magnificent. Bless their little hearts it looked like they were balling throughout that entire thing 😢😢. What a dance! 🥺😭🤍

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

Cried like a baby the first time and sobbed again the second time. Maybe it deserved a higher score but no number or judges is going to tell me how beautiful this was and beautifully danced by Bobby and Diane. 10/10

[@bessieburnet9816]

...Damn it, I cried again... 😢 Next month, I'll be Bobby's age. I honestly just can't imagine doing all of this like he is. What a perfect dance to end his Strictly journey on. From a little boy who lost his mum, to years later, honoring her with such skill. Jade would have been so proud. He's really grown into such a darling young man and good things will come to him.

[@fredahmed]

Bobby that dance was the most meaningful, poignant and heartfelt tribute to your mother. I felt your love, sorrow and longing in every move you made. I wanted you to win and to many you are their winner, especially your mothers" from heaven above. You are a truly blessed and loved young man. Well done to you both 👏 x

[@bellatricks6647]

A beautiful dance by 2 beautiful people, a dance I will never forget. So emotional for them you could see it in their face ❤

[@jkc5155]

Breathtakingly beautiful. Bobby is just a star 🌟, and I'm so happy Dianne made another final. They were absolutely amazing.

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *10/10* Even more heart than the first time, it was powerful and a strong statement, so heartfelt and emotional, the lifts were so complimentry and beautiful and such strong lines and connection with the dance. It just makes so much difference when someone dances with heart and the judges are absolutely right he does thay effortlessly and easily with telling a beautiful story. Their other stuff was energetic and showy, as was pretty much everything tonight so it was lovely to see a heartfelt and moving piece like this, it's been so lovely watching Bobby & Dianne, they have been an absolute dream to watch and have helped contribute to make this an incredible series 🤗

[@katydesnousse]

So emotional you gave it all. My winner's, i enjoy all of your dances

[@banglabird1]

Beautiful Bobby and Diana it had everything Bobby has come a long way and deserved 10's all round

[@ninasmith1540]

You dance from your heart, so moving and just utterly beautiful ❤

[@Happydayzzz_]

Beautiful story telling by this two! My winners always! The only celeb in the final with no dance experience and he held his own

[@margueritahancock5472]

Ellie had no dance experiences she was working in coronation Street since she was a small child she was brilliant bobby was okay pity Diane get crying into his chest more than one occasion the public don't like the sympathy vote felt sorry for bobby because of her crying even in the final.

[@pawelgrochowski1767]

Isn't dancing suppose to be about the footwork and moves? Watched all the finalist dances in the USA this morning and I think they got it wrong, DIANE AND BOBBY you guys were the best dancers out there. Both of you danced your pure raw heart out on the floor!! You deserve that glitter ball, you guys were awesome! Bobby grew in front of our eyes into a dancing man! Diane you are an exceptional teacher and in my heart you won that glitter ball! Congratulations!

[@robertwalker6669]

Wow I still get chocked up watching Bobby Dance especially to this track This Woman’s Work which is his favourite song ❤

[@gracerose4537]

I wish they won they really pulled it all off in the final

[@a_little_flame589]

I have watched strictly since like Danny Mac’s season with ed balls I think and I’ve seen most of the show and this is the only dance in strictly that made me cry or feel anything other than awe at their stamina or ability it is as Craig said what the arts are all about and that’s why this dance is beautiful

[@meredithgrace4337]

Next is Bobby and Dianne dancing their third, favourite and final dance, their couple's choice. Its official not only did I like a couple's choice but I cried for it, I have never done that before, this dance was perfect, sadly sweet and sweetly sad, I feel like this must be some closure for Bobby and the very strong emotion that he has been feeling thought out his young life, I hope he can move forward a little happier now, now knowing that he is being held not just by his family but and there is a lot of the fans he has, I am one of them. I wanted this dance to be the final dance of Strictly Come Dancing 2023 because I saw and felt the raw emotion Bobby was portraying and that goes way beyond dancing, got to say that even tho I am happy Ellie and Vito won I would have wanted Bobby to win. you did amazing Bobby you and Dianne.

[@Dilydaydream1]

Outstanding. His stand out fance of series

[@Beany0909]

Bobby and Dianne. My winners. You are a very special couple. This dance, for me was the best dance of the whole series. Love to you both ❤❤ Helen

[@danihayes8739]

Epic dance @bobbyjackbrazier and @DianneBuswell ❤

[@jodi-whitby-artist]

The best dance for me. Thank you ❤

[@margueritahancock5472]

Leyton deserved10 for every dance he may have danced before but he had never danced any of these different dances on strictly he was amazing he was the true winner nobody could do any of the dances he did like he did them l thought he deserved to win because he danced before the public were abusive towards him there was no need for that he was the star of the show he will be the star in the West End hd and Nikita were gracious losers.Ellie and Vito l absolutely loved they were amazing fantastic winners never in the bottom two never cried worthy winners to many tears the run up to the final from Diane that was a big no no.

[@CandleLight1974]

Just one of many spectacular performances by a naturally talented and beautiful boy and his lovely dance partner robbed of victory (and, as it turned out, extremely narrowly) by a showmance couple.

[@margaretsmith7063]

WELL DONE BOBBY YOU AND DI BEEN AMAZING NEVER WATCH IT LOVED WATCHING YOU AND DI THANKYOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@julietmackenzie8076]

😭😳❤️❤️ so emotional & beautiful my winners

[@Brittanyspearsno1fan]

Bobby made me love strictly x

[@GreatBritishDude-28]

You’re the best!

[@daneshadaniels2051]

Beautiful performance 🥺

[@Thomaa-x8s]

I shed 1 tear to this

[@gracerose4537]

I’m so mad Craig didn’t give this a 10 they deserved 40?

[@xSpiderZB]

I think ik why at 0:38 when he slid it was awkward at the end

[@Bronte21]

No Craig doesn’t like Dianne

[@the5thjudge]

our scores: me: 10 diya: 10 kelsey: 10 owen: 10 40/40 idk how but somehow this was even more emotional than the first time. also, his lines were PERFECT, FINALLY! i’m so proud of bobby.

[@xSpiderZB]

Think I know why Craig gave it a 9 as the slide at 0:38 went wrong at the end and was a bit awkward when you watch it back you'll see

[@the5thjudge]

@@xSpiderZB yeah, i thought i noticed it when i watched it at first but i forgot by the end.

[@laylamccartney9568]

@@xSpiderZByeah i think so too but i also seen a mistake in laytons quickstep and he still gave a 10 for that

[@the5thjudge]

@@laylamccartney9568 i’ve rewatched that quickstep around 400 times a week and i still can’t see what people are talking about. unless they’re delusional and want to groan about layton, the only thing i could find is when layton does an extra kick- thats nikitas fault as the first time they danced it in week 2 they both did an extra kick. not laytons fault and he shouldn’t have been marked down on it. same in the showdance as nikita made a little hiccup with the hat at the end.

[@annastasia248]

Lol when they performed this I cried

[@becciemarshall6791]

They should've won the trophy😢. Xxx

[@BillionViewClubber]

Craig spolied a perfect score.10 out of 10.Wonderful telling.Great.

[@neilba1]

A Kate Bush song. Maxwell covered it.

[@heatherlingard9444]

Ah bobby this was beautiful and amazing it deserved a 40 its was the final and your last dance of the series craig gave the other two a 10 each tonight so why couldn't he give you a break and give you a 10 especially as the point board didn't count as it was the public deciding the winner so he could of given you one for all your improvements and amazing dances this series he obviously had it in for you for some strange reason but you made it to the final and well done ellie for winning i liked both you and bobby so i am happy that at least one of you won

[@audreybrooke7985]

Maybe Craig cannot tune into that kind of emotion ? I certainly DID ! X ❤️🇬🇧

[@keepingitreal.5539]

Crying again watching it .

[@traceybradbury5022]

❤❤

[@KianAlleyne]

Me:10 My mum:10 My sis;10 My nan:10 40/40

[@margaretsmith7063]

LOVE YOU BOTH WE ALL KNEW YOU WOULD NOT WIN NEVER WATCH IT DIANA SHOULD OF WON WITH JOE THEY NEVER GIVE IT DI AMAZING BEAUTIFUL DANCER ❤️ 💙 ♥️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jordan4547]

I get Craig has extremely high standards and he’s probably my favourite judge. But come on, he should feel ashamed not giving that a 10

[@hollyheaphy1370]

40/40

[@livvjanee]

It was their night last night🫶🏼

[@KianAlleyne]

Me-10 Jessica-10 Amelia-10 Alex-10 40/40

[@nathelondon3719]

I didn't know that a dance could cause emotion like that. Pass the tissues!

[@wallstherb]

Hello Tiago!! I still think $80 is too expensive. The way it fits so snugly in your palm maybe $50 would have been better. 🙂

[@Roma-SRyan]

there was no time for her to get her roots touched up for the Finale??? thats why they lost 😅 but this was stunningly beautiful apart from that

[@FreyjaKat]

By *Kate bush*

[@margueritahancock5472]

It did not matter about the judges score it was downtown the public l did not think bobby and Diane was winners in the last two weeks all we saw was Diane crying into bobbys chest in front of the judges stories coming out about Jade bobbys mother when she died Dianes father being not well hope he gets better soon he is a lovely man, diane cried in the semi final she got through actually cried in the final pros dont do that she was desperate to win playing the sympathy card was wrong, her crying backfired for Bobby in the end..l hope she has learned a lesson the public don't like tears especially when its a pro doing it she did bobby no favours by all her crying its unheard of a pro crying like she did not once umpteen times very unproffesdional.

[@chunkyhoey8649]

This feels like a tribute to his mum.
