Well done to Louis and Flavia - they did so, so well tonight. A well deserved win.

Me too. would be lovely as they are my favs

Indeed - deserved winners.

I can't believe the number of people on Twitter bitterly screaming 'fix' because Kimberley didn't win. Hilarious!

Same here! They are the worthy winners. So happy for them especially for Flavia. It's lovely to see them lifting the glitterball together.

This is only the third time I have been happy about the Strictly winner - the other two times were Harry and Aliona last year and Chris and Ola in 2009.

well done to them both. the showdance did it for them!!!

Not my preferred winner, but a huge congrats to Flavia for finally ending the injustice of her not having a glitterball, and well done Louis for helping make that happen

Louis was better tonight that he's been all series, so that's a plus for me, and the win couldn't happen to a nicer, more deserving pro

Flavia deserved a win and I am really pleased for her and louis

Congratulations to Louis and Flavia!!!!!!!!!! Fab u louis darling Loved seeing how happy Louis was and Flavia in pieces, it was obvious it meant so much to both of them.

I'm so happy - third year in a row my favourites have won.

Just in from work and I am ESTATIC for them. Thrilled for Flavia, at long last, she's the winner.... as for Louis, he was just fabulous and my favourite all the way through. So happy for them.

So happy for them and especially for the lovely Flavia .

Well done to them both!

I'd been veering towards Dani and Vincent until tonight's show but Louis and Flavia thoroughly deserved the win.
Their 3 performances were so polished but as soon as they did their Showdance, the Glitterball was theirs.

Congrats again!

There was a Glasgow hairdresser on Radio Scotland a few weeks ago, and he was saying that the most popular hairstyle of the moment was definitely Flavia's, and that he and his colleagues were all being asked to "do a Flav" several times a day!

Congratulations! Even got a mention on the news at ten.

so pleased for Flavia, and well done to Louis! People can moan about him not being the best dancer, but many worser ones could have won! congratulations!

Congrats to them both

echoing what everyone has said - worthy winners and this year would have been drab without Louis.

Well done, Louis and Flavia! Though my fav was voted off early (Dani), she underperformed tonight. Louis, my second fav, did NOT disappoint!

Denise and Kimberly did really well too! One of the best finals in recent history! I enjoyed everyone's showdance!

I don't normally post here but wanted to join in with the congratulations. To me Louis has real presence on the dance floor - reminds me a lot of Patrick Swayze in THAT film, not surprising that they chose to do the dance from it. I'm not qualified to judge technique but Louis has bucketloads of machismo and I couldn't take my eyes off him when he danced. Flavia as others have said seems lovely as well as being a brilliant dancer like all the other pros - she was really overwhelmed when they were announced as winners and I am extremely pleased for them both. Louis almost seemed more pleased for her than for himself.
