The winners of the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special have been revealed as Kai Widdrington and RuPauls' Drag Race UK icon Tayce. Earlier this month, comedian Chris McCausland - the show's first blind contestant - picked up the Glitterball Trophy with dance partner Dianne Buswell. It wasn't long before fans of the show got to tune in again as the Christmas special returned to bring festive joy to viewers at home.
It was a big night for dance fans who had avoided spoilers after the results leaked weeks ago. The dance competition's first drag queen, Tayce, and Kai lifted the Christmas star-shaped trophy after getting a perfect score of four 10s for their cha-cha to 100 Degrees by Kylie and Dannii Minogue. Judge Craig Revel Horwood was in awe over the two and said it was "absolutely fierce, serving realness, serving fab-u-lous.".
Comedian Josh Widdicombe and Karen Hauer also participated in the special. They performed a Charleston dressed as penguins to the Glee cast version of Let It Snow. The duo received a respectable score of 36, with Anton du Beke saying: "I have to tell you one thing though, it has finally happened, the moment has come.
“Karen has turned into me. She is the longest-serving professional on Strictly and they give you a Widdicombe, congratulations, you’ve earned it. I am gobsmacked, that was totally, totally brilliant.” He was referencing when he was partnered with Ann Widdecombe in 2010.
Others in the show were Vogue Williams and Gorka Marquez, who did a jive to Rockin' Robin by Bobby Day. They received a 33 out of 40 points. Elsewhere, former EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite and Nikita Kuzmin danced a Viennese waltz to KD Lang’s version of Hallelujah.
