The whole set up and planning behind The Grinch meeting Ottie and Novie was adorable and so very thoughtful ❤

[@susanashcroft2674]

Loved your Grinch antics and how special it was to do it for your nieces. You truly are a fun and lovely Uncle. Lots of luck for Chris and Dianne tonight. Be proud and enjoy the finals Joe, Mark and Rina.

[@kerryshepherd5676]

Yay they did it 🎉❤ well done to Chris and Dianne. Don't think I've EVER been as emotional watching a Striclty final as I have tonight. Been bawling all the way through and when I saw Mark in the audience crying that set me off even more 😭😭😭 So so so pleased for them both, Dianne you have been amazing teaching Chris and he has shown that you can do anything if you want to.

[@shirleymclean5895]

Tears flowed- the dancing, the choice of music, beyond remarkable.

[@barbaraalderson2711]

Yes they did it. I have made no secret of the fact that Chris and Dianne were my favourites and for the first time ever I have given all of my votes to them. What a fantastic series.

[@chloer2584]

Everyone make sure to vote for Chris and Dianne❤️❤️

[@sweigh72]

Was in bits all the way through it 😢😢😢

[@juliedaly6382]

Just finished watching dianne and Chris do their final dance with tears running down my face they are surely the winners in the eyes of the world ❤️

[@christinesmith3292]

Used all six votes for Chris and Dianne and so glad they got to lift the glitter ball. I was crying all through the programme they were amazing. Now you can all relax and enjoy celebrating Christmas with all the family. Looking forward to seeing the next vlog x

[@scottish_rachelle]

My whole family and I were absolutely sobbing during the final. The final as a whole was spectacular, but I am just in awe of Chris’ talent that dazzles on the dance floor as well as Dianne’s immense effort she has put into everything they have worked on together. Seeing the four of you (Mark, Rina, Tracy, and yourself) react to everything live made everything so much more real too because of how much it means to so many people. I am delighted that Chris and Dianne won and even more thrilled that she got to win in front of her amazing family. Sending my love to you all, enjoy relaxing and celebrating Christmas❤

[@wild.soul.sketchbooks]

Yaaaaay!!!! OMG she won!!! Massive congratulations to Chris and Dianne and their gorgeous glitter ball trophy!!!🎉 And love that Mark was wearing his hat in the audience!!!! Yaaaaay!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️

[@CestxMoixBaybee]

Mark was so cute, jumping up and down 🥹

[@nickimontford]

So happy that Chris and Dianne won. My eyes are red from constant tears. What an amazing team and a phenomenal performance or three! Also, the grinch unlocked a long ago childhood memory. My dad dressed up as santa and the first words out of my mouth were 'morning Dad'. You are honestly the best uncle.

[@sharonpluckrose1092]

[@annnagy135]

Great result! Now time for you all to have the most brilliant family Christmas!

[@millielove1537]

My fingers and toes are crossed for Chris and Dianne!!! My belly is going crazy waiting 😂 whatever happens (but I hope they win) they've done so so well and Dianne has done so so amazing teaching Chris she should be so proud of herself! My fiance went blind while we were away in Vietnam so I led him around while we were travelling on holiday around Vietnam, luckily we were fortunate for it to be a short term thing due to his diabetes so once we got back and from multiple operations he got his sight back. Just getting him around Vietnam was tough and I cannot imagine teaching someone dancing from scratch not having any visual memory of the dances or knowledge of the show at all. It is insane and both Chris and Dianne are amazing! So much love and best wishes x

[@AmG2033]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!! Chris and dianne deserved to win so much! I managed not to cry until I seen how happy mark looked and remembered how badly he wanted them to win 🥹

[@leeswan2916]
