After months of dazzling dances, endless sparkle, and some serious fake tan, the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 champion has finally been revealed! The tension was palpable on Friday, December 20th, as the grand finale captivated audiences nationwide.
Three incredible celebrity-professional pairs – George Clarke and Alexis Warr, Karen Carney and Carlos Gu, and Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin – took to the iconic ballroom for one last spectacular showdown. Each couple performed three show-stopping routines, all culminating in a public vote for the coveted Glitterball trophy.
After a nail-biting wait, the moment arrived! The ballroom erupted as Karen Carney and Carlos Gu were officially crowned the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 winners!
A visibly emotional Karen shared her disbelief and immense gratitude, thanking supporters and her “wonderful gentleman,” Carlos. “It’s been the biggest privilege and honour.” Carlos reciprocated, expressing his love and appreciation: “Thank you for changing my life,” he tearfully shared, acknowledging their unique, challenging, yet rewarding journey.
This finale also marked a bittersweet moment, as beloved hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman graced the Strictly stage for their last live show. Having announced their departure in October, the iconic duo shared a heartfelt Instagram message, emphasizing their dream partnership and thanking everyone. We’ll miss their “keep dancing” sign-off!
What a spectacular end to an unforgettable series! Congratulations to Karen and Carlos, and a huge thank you to Tess and Claudia for years of sparkling entertainment.
