So naughty (did you see his "promise" in my arts pages last Friday to strip off if he wins the live show at the Echo arena next month?) Austin Healey was right.
Chris Hollins and Ola Chops did lift the Strictly crown on Saturday night and the 'entertainer' beat the 'dancer'.

I voted for the first time in this 2009 competition, and it was for Ricky because I felt he was the better dancer.
But I have to admit I was disappointed with the choreography of his showdance, all that flinging Natalie around in her leotard and barely any proper dancing.
So I say bad luck Ricky but congratulations Chris and Ola, and we'll see you in a month when you trip the light fantastic at the Echo arena
