Melvin Odoom Wins The 2016 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special

As revealed in the highly talked about Christmas Special Strictly Spoiler, Melvin and Janette have been vindicated from the controversial manner in which they were eliminated from the 2016 series and have won the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special.

You can relive their festive routine in the video below:

Did the right couple win the Christmas Special? I’m writing this post prior to seeing their routines so I can’t say but when the spoiler came in I was absolutely delighted that they had won, especially given I was quite opposed to the manner in which they were eliminated during the main series. Do you agree? Let me know in the comments section or over on Facebook or Twitter.

Once again I’d like to just take the opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas (what’s left of it) and a Happy New Year. I will see you all in 2017 for more spoilers, more chances to win and more Strictly Come Dancing!

Strictly Come Dancing 2016 – Christmas Special Discussion

We may already know the results thanks to the most talked about spoiler this site has ever run (as featured in The Daily Star, The Daily Mirror, The Sun, The Daily Mail and much much more) but the Strictly Christmas Special is finally here.

Who was a Christmas Cracker? And who was a Turkey? Most importantly did the right person win? You can let me know your thoughts on anything to do with today’s Christmas Special right here in the comments or over on Facebook or Twitter. It’s Christmas so I’ll probably be too drunk to read your comments but post them anyway ?

As I’ve said on Facebook and Twitter, I won’t be working (yes this is actually becoming a part time job for me believe it or not) on Christmas Day so there won’t be a tweet or Facebook along to the show and this post has been set up to automatically post before the start of the show.

No polls today either, there doesn’t seem to be any point in polling you on something you already know the outcome of.

I’d like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Obviously things will now start getting quiet here at the home of the Strictly Spoiler for a while now (unless the BBC take on my April Fool idea of running a year long series) but I’ll be back sometime around August next year with the pre series build up and may post strictly news from time to time if I get chance.

Until then, keeeeep dancing!

The BBC last night revealed the 6 participants to be participating in this year’s Christmas Special and they are all Ghosts of Strictly Past. So just who is participating? Here is the list:

Denise Lewis – Denise was a runner up to Jill Halfpenny way back in series 2 of Strictly

Ainsley Harriot – Ainsley was one of last year’s “comedy” contestants before being eliminated in week 5

Pamela Stephenson – Pamela has the honour of being the oldest contestant to make the final which she did in the 2010 series eventually finishing in 3rd

Gethin Jones – These days he is a reporter on It Takes Two but Gethin also took part in the 2007 series taking 3rd place

Frankie Bridge – Frankie was a runner up in the 2014 series losing out on the glitterball to Caroline Flack

Melvin Odoom – First to be eliminated this series after losing out in one of the most controversial Strictly moments ever when he was eliminated on public vote alone without a chance to save himself after Anastacia was unable to Dance Off, Melvin has now been given a 2nd chance to show the public his moves

Which pros the participants will be partnered with and the dances they will be performing are still to be announced.
