Strictly Come Dancing fans have claimed that Aljaz Skorjanec was 'robbed' of lifting the Glitterball trophy as he spoke out on his journey on the show where he was 'helped to fall in love'.

The professional dancer made a triumphant return to the ballroom for the 2024 run of the hit show following a two-year hiatus.

Tasha and Aljaz finished joint top of the leaderboard at the end of the grand final on Saturday night (December 14) alongside JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, after the four finalists - including Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell and Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola - had to perform three dances each.
