Come dance strictly crowned their 2022 champions after a competitive streak.
With Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal, Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, and Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu all dancing one last time, the Glitterball Trophy was presented to Hamza and Jowita, who won the public vote.
Upon learning of their win, Hamza said, “It’s hard to describe how I feel. Jowita you’re an angel in human disguise – it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Jowita, who triumphed in her first series, said Hamza was “proof that anything is possible”, before thanking the audience and the production for her time on the show.
This series also marked the first final for two of the other pros – Vito and Carlos.
Each couple performed a routine of the judges’ choice and their personal favorite dance from the show, as well as a showdance that has no specific format or gender rules.
Fleur and Vito danced their samba as the judges’ choice and chose their couple’s choice on a Destiny’s Child megamix as their favorite dance. Helen and Gorka performed their Jive as the judges’ choice, and the duo chose their Cabaret– themed Couple’s Choice as their favorite routine from the show.
For their judges’ choice, Molly and Carlos took their Quickstep, while their personal favorite was their Rumba. And Hamza and Jowita danced their salsa again as their judges’ choice, and decided to perform their couple’s choice again for their favorite routine.
