TV personality Scarlett Moffatt has been crowned the winner of the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special. The 35-year-old lifted the Silver Star trophy alongside professional dancer Vito Coppola after a vote by the BBC One show's audience and judges.
Moffatt and Coppola impressed judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke with their cha cha to DJ Play A Christmas Song by Cher, earning a perfect score of 40. They topped the leaderboard ahead of the other five celebrity contestants.
The Christmas special, pre-recorded on December 9 and aired on Christmas Day, saw six couples perform festive routines. EastEnders actor Nicholas Bailey and singer Brian McFadden each scored 39 points, while Gladiator Jodie Ounsley earned 37, singer Melanie Blatt scored 36, and comedian Babatunde Aléshe received 35.
The episode also marked the final hosting appearance of Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. Daly performed an Argentine tango with professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec, while Winkleman took part in a Love Actually parody with musical director Dave Arch.
Moffatt, who rose to fame on Gogglebox and won I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016, said: 'This is amazing. I feel like I should have prepared a speech. This is honestly the greatest gift that could have ever happened at Christmas.'
