Bill and Oti win Strictly 2020!
Bill Bailey is known for his musical prowess, but he surprised us all from the get-go with his passion and hidden talent for dance. Now it’s taken him all the way to the top spot as he lifts the Glitterball trophy with Pro partner Oti Mabuse!
The pair performed three fantastic routines in the 2020 Final, including a dramatic Showdance to the Show Must Go On by Queen and a Quickstep to Talk To the Animals by Bobby Darin as their Judges’ Pick. They finished up with their own favourite from Week Four – a Street/Commercial routine to Rapper’s Delight by The Sugar Hill Gang.
All three performances dances dazzled the Judges and the audience at home, bagging them the winning title of Strictly 2020.
Their win has also created a piece of Strictly history, making Oti the first ever Pro dancer to win the competition two years in a row, and the second Pro ever to win more than once!
Bill and Oti couldn’t be more grateful for their victory, with Bill saying: “It feels surreal, it feels extraordinary, it feels wonderful. I never thought that we would get this far, I never thought we’d get to the Final, but I have the most extraordinary teacher, most extraordinary dancer, someone who believed in me right from the beginning, and she found something in me and turned me into this, into a dancer. Thank you Oti."
It really was a fantastic Final, with brilliant performances from fellow Finalists HRVY and Janette Manrara, Jamie Laing and Karen Hauer, and Maisie Smith and Gorka Marquez.
Congratulations to all of our Strictly stars, and to your 2020 champions Bill and Oti! It’s been such a special year and an absolute joy to bring you more Strictly magic in these challenging times.
But it’s not over yet. We’re back with our Christmas special on 成人论坛 One, Christmas Day at 4.45pm. We’ll see you then for a festive and fab-u-lous show, and until next year…
Keeeeep dancing!
