Really?? I didn't believe it at first (I thought Robin was the love of his life! ) but tonight he did look rather genuinely randy, especially in that rumba. Perhaps it was the heightened emotions of the evening getting to him!

Go for it babes. I say I believe in father Xmas if it gets me a nice pressie!

First impressions - usually the safest!

Showdance wasn't good (but none of them were) but AS was amazing - stuff Len. Also Kara hinted afterwards that they tried to change their AS choreography but they didn't quite have time for her to learn it all..

Kara has certainly got nice pressie ths year!

Way back in the early weeks I could see the connection between Kara and Artem. In fact I think I said it looked like they couldn't stand each other! How wrong was I?

From the Paso onwards, I fell in love with their dancing. They grew in confidence each week and each week I knew which couple were more likely to win my vote.

Well done to the pair of them, hope the press leave them alone and that they are very happy together.

I'm usually quite sceptical too BUT when they were standing waiting to do the waltz he was stroking his thumb up and down her arm in a way that you just don't do unless you're into someone and he was doing the same with her hand when they were waiting for the result

Are you kidding? Have you seen the way he looks at her?

I thought that Artem was smitten - the way he kept stroking her arm!

Artem seems to adore her. I think they're genuine.

Hmm, possibly quite a fair point on Brian and Ali, they did break up straight after Burn the Floor finished.

I think this one is definitely for real though, are you saying him and Robin.. really? He went out with the DWTS judge - Carrie Ann for ages? He is definitely smitten with Kara, I don't think you can fake it that well with the emotions!

Good on them, great couple, she looked and danced amazing and converted me in Strictly in the final few weeks. Well done Kara and Artem

For once I actually think a showmance is genuine, they are absolutely ADORABLE together and I love it, good luck to them

I thought that was so adorable, my mum 'awwwwed' a bit too =)
They are even cuter than Ali and Brian ^^

He is very lucky in many ways

OK magazine I reckon is a certainty

Yes he is definitely smitten but he is much more smitten with her than she is with him I think I cant understand it myself, compared to Joe whatshisname - Artem is like a god!

I actually think they did a really good job in not making it icky. I hated Brian and Ali, it was just so puke-inducing, but Kara and Artem were different for me. They never did dance-porn like James and Ola can sometimes be guilty of, they never did the sickly sweet will they/won't they, they behaved really classily and just seemed really natural together.

To me it just seems like Kara is flattered by his attention. We shall see...

Carrie Ann took him out, you mean.

me too! he's lovely!! and fit!!!

I tend to agree. He can't keep his eyes and hands off her, it's very sweet. Her body language is a bit more reserved but I do think she likes him, not as much as he likes her though....

Artem is clearly pretty smitten, but I imagine Kara will dump him as soon as an improved model comes along. She may seem sweet on the outside, but there's the usual female ruthless streak in there somewhere.

Bla bla bla bla :yawn:

I think she genuinely likes him but is probably wary of relationships in general, I feel like she's been hurt before and so doesn't want to go throwing herself into anything.

ouch!
been burned have you?
we're not all cold hearted money grabbing bitches you know
