Shirley then told Bobby: “I don’t know how you’re feeling right now but I have been watching you papa over there, and your brother, and I don’t think there is a dry eye in the place”. The camera then flipped to Jeff who could be seen crying and shaking his head.
The head judge continued: “So any people including your family, I know that you love your family, I know with all your heart, and that’s why I felt that you danced that today. Loss is such a personal thing and I know you were a young boy when that happened, but it’s forever here in your heart.”
At the end of the episode, Ellie Leach alongside partner Vito Coppola was crowned champion, lifting the Glitterball trophy.
