The last episode of Strictly Come Dancing was a very moving experience as Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola walked away with the prized Glitterball trophy.

The top spot was secured by a pair who outperformed Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin, as well as Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell in a dance-off. However, some viewers were not pleased with the outcome.

Craig Revel Horwood, a judge who is known for his grumpiness, was heavily criticized by fans on Twitter for his scoring.

Craig, who is an influential figure, refused to allow unhappy viewers to affect his mood as he responded with witty replies to the criticisms.

"How great is it that you had the ability, PeterPumpkin?" he retorted to a detractor who was upset that the judge awarded Layton a score of 10, while Ellie received a score of nine.

Naturally, Ellie was declared the winner according to the viewers' vote, so Craig's score had minimal influence on the outcome.

One of the women named Pamela commented that Ellie's training was unfair since Layton already had dance experience and Ellie had to start from scratch. Pamela believes that their training was biased in favor of Layton.

Craig replied with a witty comeback, saying "That's incorrect, Pamela. You should check your information, my dear."

A commentator named Charlotte Rose criticized the judge using offensive language, and in response, the judge retorted by telling her to watch her language and adding a remark about her name.

Peter, a troll, stated that Bobby's dance deserved a 10, which caused Craig to reply with a blunt "No."

Craig became emotional and teary-eyed after watching Ellie Leach's impressive show dance. He reflected on how much the show had progressed since it first aired in 2004 and gave a heartfelt display of his emotional state.

He expressed his disappointment that their previous lift didn't go as intended, but he had great admiration for the Jennifer Lopez medley.

Feeling a sense of nostalgia, the judge who usually maintains a serious demeanor remarked, "When I ponder upon the first season, I envisioned Natasha Kaplinsky taking on that challenge. It's amazing to see how much this show has progressed since then."

Ellie, who used to be a soap opera actress, was left without words after achieving a record-breaking victory, becoming the youngest person to win Strictly.

"This is truly unbelievable," she exclaimed while Vito, who is usually very vocal, covered his face with his palms.

Ellie joked, "I've never seen him cry before and now, surprisingly, you're shedding more tears than I am!"

Ellie proudly showed him her shiny trophy and said, "This is all for you!"

"This is specifically for you. You have been exceptional," appended Vito.
