As revealed in the highly talked about Christmas Special Strictly Spoiler, Melvin and Janette have been vindicated from the controversial manner in which they were eliminated from the 2016 series and have won the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.
You can relive their festive routine in the video below:
Did the right couple win the Christmas Special? I’m writing this post prior to seeing their routines so I can’t say but when the spoiler came in I was absolutely delighted that they had won, especially given I was quite opposed to the manner in which they were eliminated during the main series. Do you agree? Let me know in the comments section or over on Facebook or Twitter.
Once again I’d like to just take the opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas (what’s left of it) and a Happy New Year. I will see you all in 2017 for more spoilers, more chances to win and more Strictly Come Dancing!
It’s been one hell of a series, but after 13 weeks and more spoilers than you can possibly imagine we have a champion for 2016. And the winner is….
Ore and Joanne

I’ll be announcing the final competition winners on Monday but other than that and the Christmas Special that’s pretty much it for another year for The Strictly Spoiler. Merry Christmas to you all and a happy 2017. I will see you all around August/September time for the pre series build up!
Time for the final part in my three part series where I take a look at the three couples who will be participating in next weekend’s final and their Strictly journey so far. I’m running this series in the order they qualified for the final so we’re rounding things off with Danny and Oti
Best Dance
Danny and Oti are the only couple to have received a maximum from the judges this series and they’ve done it twice! The first time was back in Week 9 in Blackpool for their Charleston (10,10,10,10)
They also did it again the week after in week 10 for their Samba (10,10,10,10) and became the first couple in Strictly history to get a 40 for a Samba. They have selected this as their favourite dance for during the final
Worst Dance
We have to go back to week 6 for Danny and Oti’s lowest score. They scored 30 points for their Foxtrot (7,8,7,8)
Average Score
Danny and Oti have scored a total of 470 points from the judges across 13 routines which makes for an impressive average of 36.2, the highest of the three finalists and one point higher than their next closest rivals.
Number Of Times In The Dance Off
Danny and Oti have survived one Dance Off during last weekend’s semi final following their Salsa and American Smooth. They opted to perform the American Smooth in the Dance Off beating Claudia and AJ for a place in the final.
Can they do it? As I said in my preview of Louise and Kevin if you had asked me before last weekend I would have said that they were primed to take the glitterball without too much effort. But after ending up in the Dance Off it means Louise and Kevin must have outpolled them with the public last weekend and if I’ve got my maths right so must have Ore and Joanne so last weekend they were outpolled by both of the other finalists!
That said they’ve won the majority of polls I’ve run this series but haven’t done so as commandingly as last series’ winners Jay and Aliona and there’s been far more of a mix of poll winners this series with all the Semi Finalists winning at least one poll here this series. They are leading the current poll asking who you want to win with 41% of you picking them.
They are also winning a recent YouGov poll which asked who people were voting for in the final but by a much narrower margin. The results of that poll are:
Danny and Oti – 23%
Louise and Kevin – 22%
Ore and Joanne – 19%
Undecided – 35%
All this means it is likely the undecideds who will decide this final and a lot will depend on tomorrow’s final performances with any of the three finalists potentially taking the glitterball depending on their performances in the final and how many undecided floating voters they get to vote for them. It could all be decided in the show dances though and in my opinion Danny and Oti have the best music for a show dance that Oti should be able to choreograph something memorable and spectacular to which will wow the audience.
What do you think of Danny and Oti? Are you supporting them? Do you think they can win? Let me know in the comments section or over on Facebook or Twitter.
