A public vote has meant that Rose and Giovanni have been crowned the winners of Strictly Come Dancing 2021 after wowing the judges and viewers with their impressive final dance routines.
For weeks Strictly has entertained the nation with today (December 18) marking the final of the 2021 series.
From romantic Rumbas to quirky Charlestons, we can't believe how fast this season has gone and how incredible all of the Strictly stars have been.
Celebrities have joined their professional dance partners in a bid to win the series and of course the glitterball trophy.
Last weekend, the BBC show saw four couples compete for their place in the live final with three couples making it through.
Thirteen weeks, two couples, one incredible #Strictly Grand Final!

Rhys and Nancy were sadly voted off after finding themselves in the dance-off against John and Johannes during Sunday's results show.
Earlier this week AJ and Kai had to withdraw from the final due to an injury that AJ picked up.
This meant the show on Saturday saw just two couples, Rose and Giovanni and John and Johannes, compete for the glitterball trophy in the final.
Happy #Strictly Final Day everyone! Time for our two couples to celebrate how far they have come. 🎈
