He survived thirteen weeks and three dance-offs. But tonight Simon Webbe fell at the last hurdle, coming joint second in the Strictly Come Dancing Grand Final. The Blue singer and Eurovision 2011 star impressed the judges, earning 118 points over three dances. However, the public had the final say, and they opted to crown tv presenter Caroline Flack their Strictly queen. The one-time Eurovision commentator was a deserving winner; she didn’t drop a point all evening and was the first ever celebrity to receive three 40s in one show. Popstar Frankie Bridge of the Saturdays shared second place with Simon. Former TOWIE cast member Mark Wright came fourth and was eliminated earlier in the evening.

Well done Simon, but Flackers deserved it.
