Stop crying, Kevin, Don't just me out there.

When I got back to Grimsby, I'm gonna get such a hard time about how you screamed.

He tried.

You couldn't really couldn't believe it.

I'd review.

I think we're kind of accepted that we weren't gonna win one quite honestly.

Honestly thought about it in the bag.

I was like, when we were coming down the stairs, I took Joe.

And I said, Just enjoy it.

Soak it all up because it won't happen again.

So sort of pep talking him.

So I felt really calm.

And then you feel the same.

You didn't think you'd got it?

I think we definitely thought that we're expecting Joe and dying to win.

And then when Craig kind of killer is a bit with the with the scores in the show dance and then didn't give us the 10 for for paso eso were bought with the leaderboard, I thought, Yeah, there's no chance.

And I looked over at my mom and dad just before the results and I said, you know, Andre made the same face.

It was complete shock when they called.

You mean you haven't Fiesta Craig then didn't you.

You had to get that off.

Your chance Doesn't.

Yeah, because they really turn.

It seems to always be really hard in the final and like the few funds have been.

And he always seems to, like, come down on me and my partner in the final cells like No, no.

Again, Again.

But I saw him at the wrap party afterwards.

Sounds like Craig, man, you're killing us.

They're just, like, five times.

You've bean in the finals.

This is your first win.

And your sister.

That means your sister.

And you have both won, cause she's lovely picture of the 32 of you with your with your winning vegetables going.

We've done it.

Mom and Dad.

Yeah, the picture of those those little kids.

And what about you?

What about you when you started No dance training, Atal, You know, to do think ever in your wildest dreams think you would be sitting here.

The winners science.

I know.

It's just I know it's ridiculous to say because everyone always says it all.

I never thought it would be me, and they play it.

Really, Earnest, you know me.

But I really truly didn't.

And there were so many brilliant answers.

I thought I just didn't want to look like a total idiot.

I don't want to embarrass myself on Week two was such a write off.

I remember saying toe, Kev, I just sat any fucking got hat.

I feel like such a plonker just got poor wee hours because I had to let the world, you know, like the what he knows literally where the weak one.

I thought I was gonna faint way part with them for when you When you sit on it when you feel really sick, then you've done it produces the nerves.

Did you find the notes really bad that they get better as you enter?

Unbearably nervous.

Was I?

There were a couple of weeks where I felt better fix I thought would go in.

Yeah, in the house.

Or broadly speaking, I wasn't riddled with anxiety.

I felt quite used to go quite quiet in the couple of minutes before our dance.

Yeah, I could tell that that's that's when it kick in.

If you want my dough and left, right, right, because the remembering the choreography, I I think it's really difficult.

You have no experience of love.

I tell you about looting early on in this whole journey, I find myself in Luton on dhe.

Um, people said, Well, you know, on talent.

You know, Stacy do nice.

I've never met her, actually.

But you know, no one one of our own local girl dined Earth.

Everybody loves her.

We're all rooting on.

The conversation started in the shop Everybody talking about No, I don't know No on all mostly the idea that people of Luton really bought into And they really felt very seriously you were representing them because no one ever really represents them.

And there was there was a very big forward was palpable.

People like you, you know, I I love home.

You know, that's what my crowds of from that's where I grew up.

You know, that's that's where your shape.

So yeah, of course.

You know when people say how Lupin Lupin low and it is You know, you're you're fiercely protective and you're proud of what you've What do you think they live, major?

You flashing your knickers?

What I say I mean, you know, real surprised to be fly on its way.

I think Bridget Jones are far.

They're not even fancy.

They're not even laces.

Like explain to people what that they were.

It's like a bill in body so that you'll know the Esso.

Actually, they weren't really my actual knickers, but I didn't even realize bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

And when it went into wardrobe.

But the girls, like, stay some sad story, but you were showing you're a quick flash.

I know what happens next.

You're going to be broken up.

You two, she's going to do the tour.

I do another big musical project.

Yes, yes, I'm going into rock of ages.

The musical from January And I'd agreed to that a while back side I knew that I couldn't do the strictly tour.

Um, yeah, but I'm leaving her in the very capable hands of Mr Alaska.

Leon E.

So she'll soon forget all about me, No doubt.

Well, he will you be doing the dance is that you did with Kevin, but with Allie Ash, I think don't quite make I'm allowed to say what I get in trouble in the past because that was my faith.

And I would say a ballroom was so brilliant at the ballroom you should learn lows of anyone's gonna do once you've done.

If you get a 10 from Craig dancing with the way I was 10 and throw it Kevin, which I thought was really lovely I mean, both of you and your kind of closing speeches.

And I know you were very, very emotional, But you said about Stacy that how she trained so hard and clearly.

But she did it with a smile on her face and having done strictly, I know that training is relentless.

Yeah, and hours and hours that that must have been very lovely for you.

To have somebody that threw herself into it and always had a smile in effect is when When when you get us to the start is now or even before anyone's announced, People go, Oh, who's your ideal partner?

Who would you love to dance with?

You know, and they start suggesting people that they think would be amazing dancers.

It's never really the priority for us.

You always think you just want to have someone that you're gonna get on with.

Andi, who's gonna throw themselves in?

Andi is gonna be fun, and it's not gonna be over serious.

So overdramatic or or intense.

So Stacy was, like, just the ultimate dream partner.

She I wanted to work hard on what wanted to embrace it all rude in 14 hour days, especially after the chatter didn't go so well.

We were up two hours eight in the morning till 10 at night.

But she was so much fun just to be around and just to dance with them.

I've done most brilliant.

Seriously, C I would imagine things are gonna change for you quite a lot.

A lot of people mightn't even have heard of you before the journey started on on strictly Those of us who watch telly.

No, but your investigative programs, whatever.

Do you see life changing for you in terms of who you are on telly after this nose?

I mean, I suppose I've never I've never been adamant that it's only current affairs specifically that I want to focus on.

That's my passion.

I love making documentaries, but I do like sort of factual entertainment as well.

And I like doing the light staff.

Listen, I think the office, they're gonna be coming.

Everyone's been so kind.

I can't begin to tell you that you don't You don't assume that people are gonna take to your sort of, you know, I don't know.

I feel very, very lucky we listen, we've absolutely watching.

How is the wrap party, By the way?

That was a good night.

I left at five on.
