Now all the glitter, cheering and confetti has settled – are you happy that Chris McCausland won Strictly Come Dancing 2024?

The comedian and his pro dance partner Dianne Buswell were absolutely over the moon when they were crowned on Saturday night, and honestly, it was such an emotional moment. They burst into tears, hugging it out in complete shock as the coveted Glitterball Trophy was handed to them.

Chris shared how much this win meant to him, saying: “I thought I would go out in the first week or two … We have lasted and lasted and she has got so much out of me, she deserves this so much.”

And then, in the most heart-warming moment, he added: “This is for her and for everyone out there who got told they couldn’t do something or thought they couldn’t do it. With opportunity and support and determination anything can happen.” Dianne, still in tears, shouted: “We did it!”

The final four couples had all worked so hard, but only one could take home the Glitterball, and it was Chris and Dianne’s night. They were up against Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec – all of whom had given incredible performances. After months of live shows and intense training, it all came down to those final performances, and the winning duo just seemed to have that little something extra.

The night was incredibly emotional, especially considering Chris was the first-ever blind contestant on Strictly. His journey has been nothing short of inspiring. He and Dianne have worked through so many obstacles, with the dancer constantly explaining the challenges they faced in training. In fact, during Saturday’s show, judge Craig Revel Horwood had a real lightbulb moment when he saw just how much work Chris put in. The judge even wrote Chris a poem after he saw first-hand how much effort it took for him to follow the steps and get everything right despite his sight loss.

Viewers had believed they knew who would win the series just hours before the finale. Chris and Dianne were this year’s favourites among fans to claim victory over the three other pairings.

Taking to X before the live final and before any result was announced, one fan said: “Will win: Chris McCausland.” A second viewer agreed: “Chris will win out of highest quality year yet.” A third added: “There appears to be a consensus that Chris McCausland will win,” while another fan commented of who will win: “It’s obvious Chris & Dianne will win and if they do it’ll be well deserved!”

The comments kept on coming with another reading: “Genuinely never been so assured someone is going to win strictly before then I do think Chris & Dianne will do this evening.” A further theory read: “I think Chris will pass out if they win though, and Dianne needs some sort of special award for what she has achieved.”
