Louis Smith King Of The Dance Floor!

Gymnast Louis Smith wins Strictly Come Dancing

On Saturday night (the 22nd) it was the live final of Strictly Come Dancing 2012, this took place in two half's the first half was at 6:30, and the second half was at 8:50 (after Merlin).

In the first half the four remaining couples took to the floor and performed two dances each, one that they had already performed earlier on in the competition and a new dance that they hadn't already performed. Louis Smith performed his second dance without his t-shirt on which was a nice sight for all the ladies.
The judges gave them their honest opinions and votes. After each couple had performed both dances and received their scores the phone lines then opened.
The first half finished at 7:50 so that BBC1 could show Merlin. The results half of the live final started at 8:50.

When the second half started all four couples were lined up in the middle of the dance floor because the lines had closed and votes had been counted. It was out of Denise Van Outen, Dani Harmer, Kimberly Walsh and Louis Smith. And the fourth place went to Dani Harmer. Now the remaining three couples were on the home straight, so close to the glitter ball trophy. Each couple had one more dance just one their favourite dance, out of all the dances  that they have performed on Strictly they had to chose their most favourite. Denise danced her Egyptian Charleston, Kimberly danced her Tango and Louis danced his funny doctor Charleston. After each couple had performed their last dance they had a special performance of Robbie Williams singing his new song. Then while the three finalists sat and watched from up in the balcony the other Strictly Come  Dancing contestants took to the floor for a last group performance.  The lines had closed and all the scores had been added together including the votes from the first half. The glitter ball was in the middle of the floor and the three finalists were lined up behind it. the building went silent while Bruce announced the winner "And the winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2012 is............ LOUIS SMITH" Everyone was on their feet and I bet that everyone at home was on their feet as well I know I was, as soon as Bruce said Louis Smith I took off, of the sofa screaming because I was so happy right from the beginning I wanted Louis to win and it maid my day when he did.

Now Louis has won two silvers and from this a GOLD!!! in 2012.
In this years competition Louis was the youngest competitor as he is 23-years-old.
In the beginning weeks of the show he did struggle and suffer several injuries throughout the series.
And if your a strictly fan then be sure to watch the Strictly Christmas special at 6:15 on Christmas day.

Who Is In The Strictly Come Dancing Final?

The Strictly Come Dancing finalists; Louis Smith, Kimberley Walsh, Dani Harmer and Denise Van Outen


The final four have been revealed but only one of them will be crowned King or Queen of the dance floor.


Dani Harmer

Dani Harmer

The CBBC star Dani Harmer has performed constantly well during the competition so far. She's never had the highest score on the leader board, however she has never been in the last two either. With the right dance in the final, the Tracy Beaker star might have a chance of taking home the Strictly Come Dancing glitter-ball; trophy!

In the semi final Len said:"The more I see you dance, the more I like what I see!"


Louis Smith

Louis Smith

In this years Strictly Come Dancing final the Olympic silver medallist Louis is the boy standing. The gymnast has topped the judges scores three times and like Dani Harmer he has never been in the bottom two.

In the semi-final, Bruno said: "Your improvement as a performer in the past few weeks really is incredible."


Denise Van Outen

Denise Van Outen

Denise is no stranger to dancing - during her time working in the West End she wowed them when she performed in Chicago and Legally Blonde - but until she joined Strictly she had never trained in ballroom dancing. Denise has topped the judges' vote the most tomes - but unlike Dani and Louis she has been in the bottom two.

In the semi-final, Darcey said: "You have the feeling right to your fingertips and that's so unusual to see."

Kimberley Walsh

Kimberley Walsh

Pop star Kimberley has had a lot of performing experience so isn't afraid to strut her stuff in front of an audience- her group Girls Aloud sang this years Children In Need song 'Somthing New.' and are celebrating 10 years of hits. She topped the judges scores in week 10, but like Denise Kimberley has been in the bottom two.
In the semi final Bruno said: "The way you interpret the music is absolutely fantastic to see. It runs through your body... you become one with it."
