Strictly's Bobby earns praise from judges after emotional final dance

Their performance previously scored 37 points and this time round the judges scored them an impressive 39, which all three of his dances have scored during the final.

An emotional Anton Du Beke told Bobby: "An incredible moment, you're a gorgeous boy, I wish you the best and hope you have magical career."

There wasn't a dry eye on the judging panel, with Craig telling the pair: "That's what the arts is all about."

Brazier blew the judges away earlier in the competition with his performance and earned praise from head judge Shirley Ballas, who dubbed him as "The King of Latin".

"Your joy of dance is not like any other," judge Motsi Mabuse said.

While Craig Revel Horwood scored the dancing duo a nine, the rest of the judges awarded the pair with 10 points, which saw Brazier earn his highest score of the series to date.

Much like Strictly finals in the past, the judges points do not hold weight and are only guidance for viewers.

The actor previous told RadioTimes.com and other press that he felt "lucky" to have made it to the final.

He said: "I feel lucky. Being in the dance-off, I was watching Annabel and I thought it was flawless. So I feel lucky.

"This is what I wanted, I wanted to experience all of Strictly. So to know that I'm not going to miss out on a dance and I get to do as many dances as I possibly could have with Dianne. That's what I wanted."

Brazier found himself joint second on the leaderboard with Ellie Leach following their Judges' Pick, with both of them just one point behind Layton Williams who scored a perfect 40.
