Congratulations Chris!!

Wow, what a final! I thought both Chris and Ricky were amazing on Saturday, and it is so incredible to see the journey they have taken from the start of the series till now. It was a close one, but congratulations to Chris, and ofcourse Ola who took him on the journey. It was good to dance with Joe again in the final, and to see all of the Celebrities back with their partners. I thought Jade also looked fantastic, after she had to pull out due to her knee injury. When I look back, I still cannot believe how quickly this series of Strictly has gone. It seems like only yesterday when the line up was announced, but I know time flies by when you are enjoying yourself. I have had a great time this year and it was so good to be back. I am lucky to work with some incredible people, and love going in every day, but I know the experience would not be the same if it was not for you all. It means so much to have your support and votes, I really do appreciate it so much. I am touched, and grateful as you help to keep my dream alive, so once again thank you all!!! x

There is not long to go until the tour starts! Once we are into 2010 the rehearsals begin. I look forward to travelling over the UK, and ofcourse after the tour I will be touring with Brian. Some of you have sent me some messages saying which events you are going to watch, so I hope to have the chance to meet you all. Keep checking my official website, for dates and ticket information as we are still confirming at different venues.

Christmas Day is only 3 days away, but I think I am just about done with my Christmas shopping. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas! I know it has been snowing alot over the past few days, so I am feeling in the festive spirit! I am now staying in the UK, but I hope to go back to LA at some point over the holiday season, so I am now unsure of my New Year plans. If I do not blog before the New Year, I hope you all have a very happy and successful 2010...but I will be in touch again very soon. I am looking forward to a good rest.

Time to sign off, speak soon and sending lots of Christmas wishes.
