Hi folks!

A reliable source who went to the show informs me that John Barrowman has won the Xmas Special.

Well theres a shocker glad for Kristina though.

There is not a smillie available that expresses my feelings on this matter.

How is he going to keep that secret?

Exactly how I felt - not thrilled about John B winning, but happy that Kristina has had some success on Strictly at long last!

***does happy dance***

Thanks to you and your source Sid! <smoooooocherooonie>!

Thanks for being my back-up if I wasn't able to post Buddy!

<smooooooooch!> x x x

P.S. The remaining celebs in this year's competition did a group dance at the end And they didn't announce a runner-up.

Ooooh, thanks Sid!!! <smooooooooooch>

I think Im the only one who likes John Barrowman!

Feel the same

<--- will not suffice

Same here!
Glad for Kristina though.

Thanks for the result Sid

There is no way he will be able to keep that secret until Christmas Day. The BBC may have to send him abroad to keep him quiet.

Hee hee, that is so true!

No, I like him too. I maintain my "like" for him by only watching him in Torchwood or Doctor Who.

ETA: Thanks for the spoiler! Will there be a longer narrative coming? If you're out there, spoiler peeps, feel free to tell us everything.

Does this mean that there were no contestants (past or present) from the normal show?

The competitiors were

Ronni Ancona & Anton DuBeke
John Barrowman & Kristina Rihanoff
Fern Brittain & Matt Cutler
June Brown & Vincent Simone
Vince Cable & Erin Boag


Do we know who was in the top two with John and Krissy

Hi, I was there, just on my way home now. Will post in half hour or so unless of course someone else beats me to it.

You know, with that line-up, this doesn't come as a huge surprise, although I gather Vince Cable was something of a ballroom dancer back in the day. I like John Barrowman *ducks* and hope this goes some way to salve his disappointment at being so unfairly eliminated from Dancing on Ice about a hundred years ago (not that I'm still bitter, you understand).

Well done, John!

Well, will his head possibly get even bigger. I actually wish it will and then *splat*, it explodes in the end. Very, very put-out by this news.

Aww it's going to be lovely to see Matt again
Hopefully he'll be back next year instead of Jared

Can you tell us who danced what and to what Hope you enjoyed it

Can't wait to see Matt again too, love Kristina but am also in the can't abide John Barrowman camp.

Really pleased for Kristina though, she has had some bad celebs in the main show so she deserves it.

you are far from the only one..

Hurray! What can I say, the man is fab-u-lous, he stole my heart in The Producers!

Oh God

I am pleased he won too- and especially pleased for Kristina
