1st Celine& Anton 40.0+40.0+39.0=119.0
2nd Brooke& Kevin 40.0+38.0+38.5=116.5
so theres only 2.5 points in it but Celine& Anton are slightly in the lead with 119.0/120.0 giving them 2 points with Brooke& Kevin slightly behind on 116.5/120.0 putting them with 1 point. but it couldn't be much closer so anything could happen and either couple could win no one is safe

Hope Brooke wins! Well as long as it's not Celine.

well Brooke is the only other option left in

Yeah I do hope it's not Celine, though.

Who will it be time to find out. this is the final moment of truth what 9 weeks of competition has lead to. The champions are

CELINE& ANTON congratulations to the winner Celine Dion& Anton Du Beke and well done to the 2nd place runners up Brooke& Kevin

So there we are its the end of the series but I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. Join me again in June when a summer holiday special series 2 will commence with 11 new couples.

I kinda expected it to be them. There was so much blatant favouritism towards them. At least Brooke did well.

It was an excellent series though! Can't wait for the next

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. Whats going on with yours?

will reveal the parings for the next series around early may bank holiday for the series to start the 1st week in June I may put the averages up for this series
