Absolutely delighted with the result! Can't stop smiling.

Caroline is a worthy celebrity champion and Pasha is a deserving pro champion. They were a great partnership.

For me this was the most enjoyable Strictly series. The most likeable cast top-to-bottom, for me, and so much good dancing. I found all 4 couples who made the finals lovely, and any of the final 3 would have been legitimate winners. I can't ask for more than that.

Well done to Caro and her fans, she danced really well, but I didn't think her cha cha was 40 material.

Really happy for Pasha, have loved him from day one, so glad Pash has finally got the trophy

The relevant bit:

For the 1 billionth time, YAY, WOO, WAY. TO GO!

Glad she won!

I am calm and reserved by the way!

So happy for Caroline and Pasha, she was excellent tonight! I loved loved their show dance, so happy that Pasha took a risk and did something different. Also loved Simon's AT and Frankie's Paso - all worthy finalists but really chuffed for pasha x

I can't stop celebrating ever, I think when I go to sleep tonight, my body will dance with joy whilst I'm asleep!

Roll on the Christmas special and the tour.

New BBC import wins the show - now there's a coincidence.

Caroline Flack will be presenting 'Saints & Scroungers' for the BBC from 5th January.Is this a way of boosting that shows / a new recruits profile.Nah the BBC wouldn't set something like that up, surely

What, the Beeb has people in all the homes of those who vote, holding guns to their heads and forcing them to ring Caroline and Pasha's number???

Wow. They're more powerful than I thought!!!

Although the only one in my house was me .....

She's already been accused of having major advantage over the other contestant's due to 'a professionally trained dance background'.How very convenient that she will be leaving ITV for new pastures at the BBC from January 5th.A boost in profile will do wonders for Saints & Scroungers & the 'new presenter'.

Oooh, conspiracy theorist on the loose...somebody fetch a net and a tin-foil cap.

...and the BBC has never rigged a phone in vote etc. etc. have they (that was on such an innocent show as Blue Peter as well)

I feel less sorry for Caroline being the victim of a Daily Mail article now I know she is fronting a show that has such a Daily Mail ethos.

Well done to her and Pasha, now that Pashas won I hope that pathetic Irish woman who always bangs on about him on ITT will shut the hell up now

Please explain how Caroline is planning on presenting a television programme that doesn't actually exist: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programm...don/2015/01/05

My main concern for Caroline was the showdance as Pasha had ruined 2 chances of previous wins with messy showdances. Nice to see him put that right tonight.

Although personally I was wanting Simon and Kristina to win but Caroline is a worthy winner.

It's a pre-recorded show so she'll start filming in January and it will be broadcast at a later date.

Somebody was editing the appropriate articles on Wikipedia (I've reverted them but you can still see them in revision history) to say that it was being broadcast from 5th January.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Well said xx

Yes, they did. Back in 2007. And they were fined for it quite heavily. Which is why it would be utterly stupid for them to do it again. If you suspect that they have, then report it to Ofcom.

Otherwise, your accusation just looks like sour grapes.

Geez, this is deja vu. I remember having this exact same discussion many years ago. Fortunately someone in the know came along and blew the argument out of the water.

Yay Caroline

We called this very early on, and even my wife lost interest, she thinks it was the worst series ever because there was simply nobody to support. No doubt she'll give it another go next year. My thoughts are that contrary to general opinion, the presenting team simply doesn't work, Bruce had to go, but they had to get another male presenter in, the dancing is about male/female, so surely the presenting team should reflect this. Anyway, another year over.

Caroline was always going to win right from the start.

No dance experience? He was in a boy band!! Also .. he'd taken part in a previous Christmas Strictly. A trained dancer .. as if!! People talk about it as if she was qualified to be a Strictly pro. He wasn't more deserving .. she was and that's why she won.

She was in a dance off On the wrong week .. like Pixie .. she could have easily gone home.

Absolutely brilliant result. Well done Caroline and Pasha

A standing ovation for her. Dancing is easy. Dancing to music that is not of your choice is a challenge. Dancing to someone else's choreography in front of a live audience is brutally hard, especially with the likes of CRH watching. She did brilliantly.
