What would the final places be should all 3 final finalists have danced topless?

The girls would get trashed for it.

In all fairness, Louis hasn't flashed his knickers most weeks

Exactly - the girls show far more of their bodies than any topless male.

But Pasha/ James/Vincent don't announce "Kimberley/Denise/Dani will be flashing their knickers, here's one for the lads!"

Mores the pity1 But can you imagine the uproar!

You would have criticised the bounce for being off the beat

Denise topless I don't think so

They may not announce it, but the girls have probably flashed more flesh throughout the series than Louis has.

MMM! I think I may just have forgiven that one !!

Wouldnt be the first timre

But they haven't resorted to stripping off their entire torso and highly publicising the fact that they're going to do it and that the 'girls will love it'

Clearly he didn't need to do it, it cheapened his win a bit for me I'm afraid.

Too many female voters. I'd have appreciated it though (well, Kimberley).

Again, in fairness, that was Flavia saying that, not Louis. He did nothing that the other male pro dancers do quite often.

I agree, celeb or pro, the females have been showing more flesh all the time. But as is typical blokes complain once a small bit of male skin is on show.

A male who is covered from hip to ankle does not even begin to even things up but, of course we, women, are used to double standards.

Let's face it, many of the female pro dancers work on the principle: The worse their celeb dances, the less they wear! Louis looked great tonight, but he danced better. It was a tough call to choose a winner from the final 3 - I'd have accepted any one of them.

I know it was, but Louis & Flavia were a partnership that won the glitterball, Louis didn't win it on his own. I love Flavia, but that remark really annoyed me.

And none of the male pro dancers went entirely topless, it's another step up in the disctraction techniques from just leaving the shirt open. He's a better dancer than that, he didn't need any of those distraction or vote-grabbing cheap tricks. The others let it be about the dancing, Louis and/or Flavia made it about his chest just as much, and that's what I didn't like.

Louis was the only one to get his dustbin lids out though.

Did it matter, it didn't suit a whistle and flute but that show dance would be just as good if the lad had a vest, t shirt or shirt on.

He was nearly naked tho.

Oh my, what a load of sour grapes. Not very edifying (sic) at all.

Louis topless wasn't all that impressive. He has nicely defined biceps, not too bulky. But his abdominals could use some work. I would have preferred he worn a tank top.

It's called expressing an opinion...

Denise Van Outen has been flashing her bits for years hasn't she...at least she was sober this time.

And as for Kimberly that's a cleavage wide enough to get a bus through.

And when was the last time Artem and Robin were seen with a shirt on or fastened in a latin dance...pair of muscle bound apes they are

Flavia yelling "HE'LL GET HIS TITS OUT IN THE FINAL!" was an act of true desperation only befitting of a woman who'd gone full Camilla from about 8 weeks in (her crying from about 80 minutes before he won <3), but it still pales in comparison with when Mark Foster said he'd do his showdance in a Speedo.
