Oh well done Mark   best Strictly winner ever 

Just received an MBE from The Queen. Very proud! She asked 'does being retired from cricket give me more time to dance?!' :-) #scd    

Thank you VERY much to everyone who sent such kind messages re MBE. much appreciated!

The palace & Queen were everything you would hope for.

Derek Hough sparked speculation that he may be in line for a role on Strictly Come Dancing today (June 11) after tweeting: "Had some great meetings in London with the BBC for the future

Ola and James are on Mr & Mrs tonight.

I like Ola bit not James ,there was a rumour that they had split. Going on Mr &Mrs usually results in a split some months later

I think he was a bit too cosy with Denise VO IMO.

But I'm not one to gossip 

Ohhhh.... and the Daily Mail are desperate to have us believe her marriage to Lee is on the rocks.  

Not that I'm one to gossip either.  

When was she dropped?  I thought she was in the last series partnering Colin Salmon.  God, I've lost a year haven't I..?  

I don't think so - I didn't think she's been dropped either tbh - but I might have lost a year too.

I didn't know about Kristina and Vincent I thought she was with Joe Calzaghe!

She was (still is as far as I know).  Vincent was before Joe by a couple of years, I think.

You should see my Paso Doble.

Kristina looks like she'd eat Vincent alive

Hands up who's been to a tour.

I had the telescope out for Vincent and Rachel somebody. I know it wasn't Roberts.

They're toattie.

I'd love to! 

I bet you'd kick Ramps into touch with your Argentinian too
