Several of Strictly's seasons have produced some really close final finishes so I want to shed the spotlight on the runners-up by asking you to vote for the best of those who fell at the final hurdle.

Colin Jackson #stillbitter

Poll up soon guys!

Voted Matt and Lilia, adored their partnership and ballroom dances.

Matt and Lilia, Simon and Kristina, Georgia and Giovanni.

I would imagine had I watched Series 3 I'd have had Colin included too

Matt and Aliona definitely created some of my all time favourite routines plus I loved their partnership!

Colin Jackson.

Also enjoyed Denise Lewis, Chelsee Healey, Ricky Whittle, Matt Baker and Natalie Gumede

(Ricky & Natalie Gumede should have won)

Enjoyed Denise and Ian too but was still too annoyed at Aled not making the final to really appreciate them.

Matt Baker and Aliona Vilani.
Colin Jackson and Erin Boag.

Matt & Flavia

Alesha was a very worthy winner but Matt & Flavia a very close second,

I second this, still my favourite series for me

Wow this poll made me realize a lot of my favorites or 2nd favorites were runners-up on their series.

Top faves (of their series):
- Rachel Stevens & Vincent Simone
- Ricky Whittle & Natalie Lowe
- Chelsee Healey & Pasha Kovalev
- Kimberley Walsh & Pasha Kovalev
- Natalie Guemede & Artem Chigvintsev
- Georgia May Foote & Giovanni Pernice

Second faves (of their series):
- Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani
- Denise van Outen & James Jordan

I haven’t watched the first 4 series though. I don’t know who to choose as my top favorite as it’s close between Chelsee/Kimberley/Natalie.

Georgia, Natalie Gumede & Ricky Whitte for me!!

I clicked Simon by mistake ment to click Frankie

Colin Jackson and Erin. This is one occasion when I can say "they were robbed"

That list shows that there have been a lot of very good runners up.

Ones I particularly liked/supported were:

Rachel, Matt Baker, Matt Dawson, Matt D'Angelo, Chelsee and Denise Lewis.

Natalie and Artem. So, so robbed.

In terms of dance ability, then undoubtedly Colin & Erin, Rachel & Vincent and Ricky & Natalie.

My favourite runners up were Matt & Aliona though, but I couldn't argue with the winners that year, Kara absolutely deserved it.

Agreed. Best winner the show never had.

Natalie & Artem 💃

Chris and Hannah& Simon& Kristina

Colin & Erin

Rachel and Vincent obviously

Yes without a doubt the most talented celeb since I started watcing Strictly!! Absolutely robbed by Abby Clancy!!

Wow what a close poll!

Rachel & Vincent took their time getting off the mark but they have now stormed past early favourites Colin & Erin to jump into third place!

Funny how Natalie was a very obvious ringer, as was Denise but they bookend this poll with the latter failing to secure a single vote.. Why is that - was Natalie more honest about her status... is Denise suffering from the 'James Jordan factor'?
