Blimey, poor Kelly, her schedule has been crazy, I guess it all caught up with her this final week. At an earlier stage of the competition I was worried she'd do a Scott Maslen and almost crash out on the dance floor, but thankfully that didn't happen.
Incidentally, I don't get the dislike for her and Kevin. I understand that different personalities appeal, their dancing wasn't to everyones taste (not always to mine if I'm honest) and yes they were very excitable on occasions. However I felt that they put their all into it, were genuine, friendly and encouraging to others and had a really great partnership. There were far better candidates to label insincere, 'show offs', 'precious about their work', or 'ungracious in defeat' etc Not that I would (here) but still.. |

Wow, how come the Cliftons didn't make sure we knew this? Probably because it would have had the same impact as Georgia's illness. other words: what is the relevance?

If I didn't know better I would think Kellie and Kevin had won. It's an unpleasant world when people cannot enjoy Jay and Aliona's win without trying to destroy another celeb and partner.

Just because people can say good for her and praise her has no implication on the fact he and Aliona have already won the trophy. |

Worth noting it's a small minority of Jay and Aliona fans saying anything.
I just hope Kellie's alright now. What I don't get is why did they (EastEnders) pile on her workload as she was trying to do something as mentally and physically exhausting as Strictly? Ashley Taylor Dawson had similar issues but Hollyoaks isn't even on the same channel. Surely there is some responsibility there for the well-being of the cast? I suppose the EastEnders production team may have warned her she had a few heavy months coming up and she decided to do Strictly anyway.And she threw herself into it, gave it everything and finished credibly. And considering she was unwell prior to the show... well, no one would know! She put in a brilliant performance. |

If there was anybody who ran themselves ragged it was Matt Baker.
At the time he was doing Countryfile and Strictly Matt was all over the country and Aliona would have to travel with him. And you never heard a word from him about his work load.

Is mentioning Kellie having fainting and doing a great job in-spite of that in any way taking it away that Jay won?

I initially read this as Kellie farted before the final .
Must have been nerves - understandable really

How mean, why are people always mean about the Clifton's, they work hard and are talented and give their all to their partners and make sure they are always patient with them.
This shows that Kellie did something very amazing last night and neither her nor Kevin even mentioned it, yet still people don't want to give them any credit. She is the epitome of the business, no matter what you think about her, she never made one mistake from day one and she went out there as the show must go on. No matter what, she deserves massive respect. Hope she gets some good time to recover with her cute little boy and hubby. |

Jay and then Georgia were my favourites - but really agree with the above. I really like Kevin and Kellie was fine - friendly, enthusiastic, keen, very hard working, encouraging. Didn't always altogether like their routines and found Kellie a bit over the top, but can't understand anyone actively disliking them? |

I agree with all of this. I did feel that the judges tried a bit too hard to push Kellie as their winner but that's not her fault, nor is it Kevin's. Both of them seem like thoroughly decent, hardworking people who give so much to entertain us. I was very impressed with Kellie last night (and across the series generally), but even more so now! Still glad Jay won as he's my favourite, but massive respect to Kellie as well.

If you read the article through it actually sounds she had a dizzy spell rather than actually fainting. The papers talk so much sh*t. She has been pushing it and the nerves etc. just got a bit much. She gathered herself and put a super energetic performance. Good for her.

It's got worse over the years - it used to be positively genteel in the days when it was pink (and fluffy). There was always a bit of controversy of course, but not the really personal, spiteful stuff. The degree of venom directed at the Clifton family is mind boggling.

They offered to decrease her workload but she said no. Towards the end of SCD, she did get a bit of a break.
I sense she's someone who likes to be busy all of the time - my best friend's like that!

Actually I read somewhere that Kellie did say that she knew the time on Strictly would be crazy work wise, and family wise but she went for it anyway, because she knew it would be three months at the most. |

So have the Cliftons galvanised something here?
Whether that's fair or not is being discussed on every other thread at the moment! |

Prior to the final I don't think it was any worse than any other year. Since the final... I swear it wasn't even this bad in series 6 and that was a bad year!

Hope Kellie's okay now - must have been a bit of a scare for her.
She wasn't my favourite, but I did admire her work ethic, and the amount of energy she put into everything, and she did deserve to be in the final IMO. |

I also think a lot of the spleen directed at Susanna Reid - and believe me, some of the stuff written about her was truly vile - was dumped on Kevin out of convenience. Made a nice little package of hate objects. Jo got hammered when she joined last year simply because she's Kevin's sister, and so on.... |
