Loose-limbed Louis Smith used his gymnastic flexibility to win Strictly again in a panto-themed Christmas special.

Oh yes he did. Oh yes he did. OH YES HE DID.

The 25-year-old 2012 champion, who partnered professional Aliona Vilani, was crowned King of the Christmas Ballroom after earning a perfect score of 40 points from the judges for a quickstep to the song Jingle Bells.

The show featured a host of stars from series past competing in a one-dance competition, voted for by the judges and the live audience.

The show also saw a return for Sir Bruce Forsyth, 104…sorry 86, who came equipped with some jokes so wooden you could have turned them into clogs.

And you seem to have thought it was better that he permanently waltzed off into the sunset.

Although some people were pleased to see him.

The other big show of the night was Craig Revel Horwood, who lived up to his nasty image by coming dressed as The Evil Queen, alongside Darcey Bussell’s Fairy Godmother, head judge Len Goodman’s Baron Hardup from Cinderella, and Bruno Tonioli as Buttons.

And it was a look for the king of camp cattery that you seemed to like.

Poor old Russell Grant. You’d think as an astrologer he’d have foreseen he would come last. He came as the Genie from Aladdin, although they only had enough blue facepaint for half his face.

But despite his poor score, it wasn’t all haters out there.

Now in second was pop princess Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who did a great American smooth to White Christmas with Aljaz Skorjanec.

Yet somehow, the Strictly viewers, male and female, only had eyes for Alijaz. You’re all suckers for muscles you lot. Go take a cold shower.

We could come in here with some of the rude tweets about Lisa Riley. But you know what, she is an easy target, so we are gonna lay off her. Maybe you should too.

It just leaves us to show some of the adulation for smooth champion Louis.
