[@teacherkate1]

Watching this again, it is clear to me why they won! No she wasn’t the best technical dancer but as a couple they embodied the character of every dance and encapsulated the family entertainment spirit of Strictly- fun, musicality, romance and something for everyone!

My Favourite Strictly Couples are Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton

[@ladymc2021]

Wow Stacey! You killed it on every single one of these dances! Omg!

[@lewisdeering627]

Stacey Dooley is and will be forever the best contestant Strictly come Dancing has ever had , she is a pure babe & I’m so happy ‘ proud of her , the others were ok but there is something special about Stacey ,

[@bellac6311]

Im sorry but i dont know what show you were watching. Stacey was good, but did you see ashley? She was flawless. She had emotion, technique, stamina, she was incredible. She was 10x the dancer any other contestant that year was. Ashley shouldve won.

[@susantaylor147]

They're so mesmerising together...the dances gave me goosebumps and made me smile...the joy in their faces dancing together...i felt pure joy watching these back!! Kevin is an awesome choreographer... to every beat of the music even the pauses wow 👏👏👏👏👏👏😀❤❤❤❤❤

[@MazzyMadness]

Their American Smooth actually made me cry 🥲🥺

[@darrenhatfield4578]

Don’t understand the toxicity from Joe’s fan base! Stacey and Joe are very good friends on the show. Stacey literally said last week that Joe’s her biggest friend on the show. Would Joe want you disrespecting his friend? Probably not!

[@darrenhatfield4578]

littlesmew When both of them through Claudia speaks to the lucky dance couples. When it was Stacey’s turn she said “It makes it even more special sat here with Joe, my biggest friend from the whole show”

[@alessandrosmith1477]

[@beth347]

Katie Richardson it makes me so sad, they were both amazing on the show but there’s only 1 winner. Ive watched Joes videos and Stacey’s documentaries for years and I’m happy for the both of them. The minority of his fans have been awful towards Stacey for just doing well, he’s more than happy for her and them ‘fans’ should respect that!

[@eclectica1]

Two words: sore losers. The fanbase, that is. Personally, I would have been just as happy for him and Dianne to win as I was for Stacey and Kevin.

[@Marlie40]

She did it, obviously she had Britains hearts on her side. And mine from the very first day I saw her dancing. Wonderful, congratulations from Germany :-))))

Could watch all Stacey and Kevin's dances over and over again. They were brilliant and so deserved to win Strictly I was rooting for them from the beginning. Kevin is my favourite professional dancer so glad he got Stacey as his dance partner she got better and better every week and had no dance experience at all.

[@TheAnn2shoes]

The paso double was one of the best ever dances on Strictly. Stacy is my all time favourite.

[@tomhayes413]

I can’t get enough from these two. Sometimes, perhaps the steps are not 100%, but every dance is a show that deserves more than a 10. Never seen a couple that enjoys dancing more than this one. I wish both of them a long and healthy being together. You know what? If they invest in their relation like they invested in strictly, they will be together forever. Like these video’s will live on the net forever..

I wasnt a fan during the show as I wanted Faye to win. however watching this after a few years, i am blown away by how great Stacey is. I would say that she really sells the dance each time. She has natural dance ability too. It’s very obvious too that herself and Kevin had a connection.

[@kayleighb6375]

Imagine if the judges pick the jive and Stacey and Kevin are forced to dress up as minions again 😂

[@audreyvergara4376]

I really hope Kevin and Stacey win. She has never had any training in dancing like the other two contestants and deserves to win!

[@bellac6311]

Why should training matter? Theyre not the professionals, so they dont have enough training to have an unfair advantadge. Also, ballroom and latin is so different to traditional dande styles. When are people gonna realise that? Ashley was probably the best celeb thats ever been on this show, and although I love joe and stacey, ashley was just flawless. As a dancer, i would much rather watch Ashley or even joe than stacey. Im not saying shes not good, but in comparison to the other contestants she was not the best.

[@bellac6311]

@@eradams yeah that makes sense

[@SumiG_Playz]

Stacey Dooley was truly the deserved winner of the John Sergeant Show !

[@charlottestretton2203]

To everyone complaining about Stacey’s dancing out of hold: - many ballroom dances are focused on dancing IN hold with the partner, how can she be relying on Kevin when all she’s doing is dancing ballroom the way it should be danced - clearly none of you realise how difficult it is as a novice to hold a ballroom frame and keep the connection with your partner - is nobody looking at the paso where she spent a lot of time out of hold? Stacey or Joe to win in my books👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@annobrien5287]

Its very sad but it happens every day, in many situations, that when a person is doing excellent, people try to find something to drag them down. Its called jealousy. Stacey amazed me with her dancing. I think she was stunning and both, totally deserved to win.

[@dajtoad1]

A long time after the event, but just watched this to go down memory lane for a bit. Anyone thinking hold isn't difficult - watch the last dance on here and then jump back to the first one. No comparison. Never danced before, but look what she accomplished. From that floppy mess at the beginning to poised and lovely. She couldn't compare to Faye and Ashley - of course not. A beginner cannot compare to someone with lots of experience. Doesn't mean she wasn't a very worthy winner.

It’s amazing how much hate each finalist is getting especially Ashley Roberts and Stacey Dooley. This is just a dancing competition. None deserve the hate their getting. They worked so hard to get to the final and they all deserve to win. Ashley Roberts danced some of the most amazing routines ever so did Faye Tozer. Stacey Dooley and Joe Sugg were very enjoyable to watch and had the best journey . They all deserve that final spot! 😃

[@shvn4930]

All the hate she gets is actually laughable. Almost always from Joe supporters too. I love them both, and they’re both worthy finalists, with their own advantages and weaknesses. They’ve both grown so much. But it’s an entertainment show, for God’s sake, obviously it’s going to be rigged to an extent. If you expect a BBC Saturday night, family dancing show to NOT be affected, think again. Still, I hope Stacey smashes it on Saturday, and makes all the haters think twice.

[@oracle3569]

It isn't actually all Joe supporters, he's getting equally the same amount of hate making it seem as if he only got this far undeservingly.. do you know wrong that sounds?? Eliminating all his hard work down to his fans?? Stacey doesn't get nearly as much hate as Joe has done all series. But go off.

[@shvn4930]

Yes, but Joe has a MUCH larger fanbase than Stacey, which outweighs the haters. I’d say they get equal hate, but Stacey’s is more prominent thanks to her smaller fanbase. Kinda just wish people would stop arguing and hating and just enjoy the show, ‘cause I just want them all to win.

[@am-ot9bp]

Someone else blaming staceys hate on joe supporters.. cant say im not surprised. Joe, faye and ashley gets the equal amount of hate. Stacey isint an angel whos going to be loved by the whole nation, dont blame people who just support someone else please and thank you, just enjoy the show because all of them can dance as well as eachother

[@oracle3569]

Don't think you need to worry Stacey and Kevin have the entire BBC behind them. She's also the favourite to win with the bookies and a lot of people.. Joe needs all the support he can get and he will get that support because he has deserved it.
