However lol, as judges may say...I'm going to disagree with some of your assessment.

I do get your point of view and there will be people who share it, so I'm not going to be negative, just want to say that for me personally...well he won despite the disability and not because of it. I even forgot about the blind aspect while watching him he was that good in my eyes. It just makes him even more incredible that he had such a disability at all. You'd be forgiven for thinking he could see! The lifts, jumping off chairs, utterly amazing. I enjoyed every performance he gave.

I'm so pleased and proud he won in the end even though my votes went to JB who was also utterly off the scale.

I thoroughly loved all 4 last night, and felt any of them would be totally worthy winners.

I feel that the other finalists were genuinely thrilled with him winning, it was written on their faces. Nobody pulled a face or anything. So I don't think there are any grievances there either. I think they were all just very proud to get to the final against such strong competition this year. A truly great series.

Chris you're a hero of mine, and a graceful champion. I've loved you throughout.

Fair enough I suppose, and tbf in the grand scheme of things Chris winning Strictly Come Dancing is not the biggest press for concern that we have in the world right now, far from it.

I just miss the days when a Strictly winner happened and there weren't some big theme behind it, Ellie came close last year for me, but the whole talking like a 9 year old ruined it for me if I'm to be really picky about it with her.

Because I have had loads of Seasons of Strictly where my personal favourite didn't win, but I want to feel like the winner won because the public just liked them.

Like to make sense of what I'm saying I'll use Jay from The Wanted, when he won that was just it, there was no soundbites to make his win feel special to his fans, he just won through his actions on the Show, plus a really good Jive.

But that was it for Jay, he weren't anything out of this world being put on a huge pedestal compared to his fellow contestants.

The same can be said for other winners like Caroline Flack, Abbey Clancy, Ore, and Louis Smith.

They all won and there was never any patronizing commentary from the judges, nor did the public treat any of them like they were little kids, which does really put me off the disabled contestants on Strictly if I'm to be entirely honest. It's one of the main reasons why I was never a big fan of Tasha either in this series.

I get that you liked him though Kate, and tbf there's a lot worse that you and all of us could be doing than voting for someone to win Strictly.
