It would be nice of they fetched out a DVD with all his routines on, from both his series, and the tour routines too

Huge congratulations to Ray and Maria.
I am over the moon that Ray won!
He has been the best novice dancer on ice that the show has ever produced over 9 series and he most definitely is the champion of champions!

I would absolutely LOVE a DVD of all his performances!

The right result (Phew!). He is simply the best DOI contestant that there has been throughout the entire history of the show and it would have been utterly ridiculous if he hadn't won.

Really pleased for Ray and Maria - worthy winners. I was fairly confident for them as when ever I tried to vote it was engaged!
I agree with the idea of a DVD of all of his routines - perhaps it could be produced for charity.

Agree with all the above - I was so nervous for him, and he too was clearly nervous after last week. Yes a DVD of Ray's performances would be wonderful. Here's hoping...

Loved him and Maria together. I felt she was perfect for him as well, and her performances could improve because she didn't have to look after him on the ice like some did.

Usually in a male/female dancing or skating partnership, the woman gets looked at more than the man (dresses, spins, lifts etc), but with those two I watched both with equal pleasure. Fantastic pairing.

Absolutely. Well done to both Ray and Maria; they brought out the best in each other.
As one of the judges said - Ray is a star!

Yes, and he was genuinely surprised when he went through to Bolero ahead of Beth. He must have expected to be out when it came down to the two of them knowing she beat him in the public vote in the semifinal.

Beth and Ray would have been the right final two imo but Ray absolutely deserved to win, anyone could see he was by far the best skater DOI has ever produced, he had a spectacular evening, the Paso routine was sublime and basically it would have been a travesty had he not won-Excellent show to bow out on tonight though, really reminded ne why I liked it in the first place

Ray and Maria were sublime tonight. Their routines were fabulous and you could see the nerves on Ray's face - bless him.

The right pair won tonight - well done to both of them.

Definitely the right winner for the Champion of Champions, he is the best skater they have ever had by far and I think it would have felt wrong if he hadn't won.

In a league of his own. A sheer pleasure to watch. Extraordinarily talented young man.

I am thrilled to bits that Ray & Maria won - I never doubted that they would, although I did get a little nervous last night because you just can't rely on the public to do the right thing.

Some people kept saying how cocky and arrogant Ray has been - I have never seen this in him and can only think it must be Beth's fans who said this (must be the Olympian thing, bad losers maybe?)

And what a sweet gesture, handing the trophy to Maria for her to keep. What a lovely man he is!

Bring on the DVD of Ray's performances, it would be a best seller.
