Watching back the glitterball moment, one of the things that makes it for me is Layton and Nikita's delighted faces in the background. I know he didn't mean it probably, but Gorka's RBF last year slightly detracted from Hamza's win. Nikita taking Vito's face and shaking it made me emosh, when you think they've known each other for 15 years.

Also emosh: Vito's family with his two nonnas on the sofa, his mum immediately opening the wine, the sparklers!

I love that Craig's maintained a professional silence all season but is now just letting it rip 😅

Craig really let rip on the show last night massively I thought and fully in the direction of Layton.

Twice he hit him with 'Well Layton your ballroom has NEVER actually ever been any good at all throughout this whole series' and then 'Well ok it was a better AT than last time, because I actually didn't like it all last time so yeah just better'

Nikita looked slightly stunned, the audience did a gasp but Craig was just like well it's not down to me now So....

Then when he visably cried at Ellie's achievement we were watching like yeah this is where the truth comes out now the power is out of there hands they can speak their minds..... I found it quite thrilling 😂

No, Nikita is not allowed to dance with any other men.

I just found this very subtle understated gift for Vito fans.

Jesus christ Vito

Vito’s family are just the sweetest. The thing I don’t get about Gio and his obvious dislike of Vito which is actually unprofessional is that mutual friends like Pasquale get on really with Gio. Gio doesn’t even try to hide his disdain for Vito - his face has always looked like thunder when Vito was talking throughout this series and then not even bothering to go on the dance floor and celebrate.
Feel that the powers that be need to either bench Gio or get rid of him - he clearly doesn’t enjoy strictly anymore and is just there for money which is unfair on any celeb that could be partnered with him in the future.

Gio likely sees Vito as a threat, the new Italian star male pro. Graziano didn't really have the same effect and the likes of Kai/Nikita/Carlos/Johannes fill different roles so aren't of any threat to Gio's role.

Omg the clip in the last slide of Fleur and Vito hugging and him weeping uncontrollably 😭😭

(Also, for Fleur body-watchers, the difference between the first pic and now is..)

Even though they had no chance of winning, Fleur and Vito got all my votes in the final last year and it’s lovely to see how much they still adore one another. I suspect Vito is going to be one of those pros who ends up with lots of previous partners who adore him.

(Unlike Gio who by this point in his Strictly run had dumped Georgia and given us the passive-aggressive “Congratulations on your spins” partnership that was him and Laura.)

I think it would take a real horrible celeb (Jayde/Lulu levels) for Vito have a not so good partnership. Similar charm to Aljaž & Nikita.

I found Craig really odd last night: the back-handed comments towards Layton were quite uncomfortable, the choking up whilst critiquing Ellie was somewhat out of character, and the online clap-backs are amusing but weird. I wonder if he is actually planning to leave?
