Just wanted to thank Hayley SO much for putting on an amazing show...I don't think anyone can say she was not a deserving winner - just perfect !!!! x

cant see OP

You counting your winnings now

Hahaha - yes I am :P Just been the best night ever - owe a few people some drinks!!!

Me too gazb2, even if I have resorted to a bit of gloating I am pleased she won for you

And are you gonna bet again next year

NEVER again - I felt like it took Phillip a lifetime to announce the result...and it's been the worst 5 weeks of my life lol - and I couldn't feel that nervous ever again...no more betting for me Take the profit and run...

Ha... Wise move

Well done Hayley fantastic .

Congrats you courageous devil (not offence intended). Hope you are going to spend your winnings wisely.

You've been a pleasure to agree with...thank you for being as big a fan as moi

Till next year...

Agreed.... there's no way I would bet the sum you did - but it paid off

and a pleasure for me too, til next year

Why thank you so much Lach !! It's been a pleasure reading your posts...x

gaz - what was your stake?

Wondered where you were this evening - too busy biting your fingernails?

Well it was a pleasure to read yours. I have never known anyone who won so much. I don't know how you could do it, but you supported the right person. Maybe you should give us a lesson in how to bet next year.

£2000 mate. I also stuck £25 that she would get full marks for her favorite routine...another nice wee win Haha. Just delighted

Oh, and I'm 18 years old...so really gonna help a few great nights out lol.

It was a total moment of madness, and I don't ever recommend it That feeling of horror before Phillip announced the results was the worst ever lol. But I'll certainly let everyone who I support next year

I was utterly terrified, could not concentrate on anything else but my tv screen lol.

It's great to be 18 - but I must ask where does an 18 year old get £2000 to chance on on DOI - even if you did think it a one horse race.

Anyway congrats - tell me what odds did you get?

Actually to be fair (and that is really weird now), I was turning to my other half and said, I bet gazb2 is really nervous (I don't even know if you are a woman or a man). I was nervous for Hayley, because of the expectations. I'm pleased there wasn't the kind of added humiliation of not winning as the top person. Let us know how you spent the winnings..

Congratulations - even it meant Hayley won.

The drinks are on you, gazb2! Enjoy your winnings!

Aww that's so nice. I know what you mean..I thought of the smile 'strictly-irish' would have on her face after he got to skate his bolero!! But your quite correct, I was behind my sofa completely shaking lol. I'm so pleased she has won, not just for me - but I really think she is a deserving winner.

Thanks again Lach..I'm delighted

P.S - 18 year old student, male. It's really made my year lol
