That was a bit odd at the end there when Brucie told all the other contestants to stand back. A bit like last year with the Mcfly boys. Mind you they all seemed to see the funny side fortunately.
Bruce getting stroppy
I'm a fan of Bruce, but I thought he was really rude to have told them all to get back. He talked to them like they were nothing and I wouldn't be impressed if I were any of them.
I was surprised by that - it was a bit uncalled for. The end of every show is them all congratulating or commiserating. Brucie is not one of my favourite tv people though tbh.

I've definitely seen him lose it once before in the same way, so it could have been last year.

He lost it with John Sargeant as well. He was just standing there and Bruce started ranting that he hasn't won.

Unfortunately it is the one time when it is not all about him, but still has to try (Silly old fool)!

Thought it was odd but decided it was why he normally doesn't do the Results Show!
I've sort of kept out of the debate on Brucie but please, PLEASE retire. We can safely say this was the 10th anniversary and a STELLAR final: leave on a high, let someone else take over - PLEASE>
It spoilt those few moments really as obviously the normal thing to do is to hug & congratulate the winner. I think Louis and Flavia were a bit baffled as to what was happening.
His hamfisted and graceless intervention made everything seem school panto at the last moment. So what if people were standing in the wrong position. They were celebrating and congratulating the winning couple. The scene was full of energy and fun and he should have just gone with the flow instead of according to script. His lack of grace and rudeness left such a bad taste in my mouth. I hope he has the good grace to apologise for spoiling the end of the show for so many people.
