Strictly Come Dancing fans furious at judges' dance choices for the final show as they claim it 'shouldn't be allowed' after Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell won the show


Chris McCausland and his professional partner Dianne Buswell were crowned 2024's champions after the comedian made history as the show's first ever blind contestant.

The final, which was the highest-scoring ever, saw all the couples each perform three dances for the judges before hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announced Chris as the winner of the much sought after Glitterball trophy. After being announced as the winner of the 2024 show, the funnyman broke down in tears as he was embraced by his fellow celebs before throwing Dianne triumphantly over his shoulder while the audience went wild. Chris gained his first perfect score of 40 points for a waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers, which was his final dance of the series and left the judges and viewers in tears.
