Shirley Ballas Instagram – What an epic @dancingwiththestars finale last night. An absolute pleasure watching the show this year. 💛 it’s been fantastic getting a double dose of dancing after @bbcstrictly on a Saturday. A huge congratulations to @valentin and @_xochitl.gomez for winning the Mirrorball. You were both outstanding. Well done to all who took part from the very very beginning. It takes courage to sign up and stamina to complete a show like this. To all the finalists, every one of you was a winner in your own right. You all put forward something unique and very very special. It was just unbelievable to watch the dynamics between the teams. I couldn’t have been prouder of each and every one of you. Of course a big shoutout to @markballas and @charlidamelio for returning and doing an honour dance. It was epic. Shout out to all the judges @brunotonioliofficial @derekhough @carrieanninaba, the hosts @juleshough @therealalfonsoribeiro, the real stars of the behind the scenes team and to Conrad Green for getting the show to such a high standard. Thank you for all the pleasure that you give to so many. Wow. Xxx 🔥
