Strictly Come Dancing viewers emotional seeing stunning Caroline Flack dance

Strictly Come Dancing viewers have gotten emotional seeing a stunning Caroline Flack dance on the Christmas special.

The Love Island presenter tragically took her own life at the age of 40 earlier this year.

However, Caroline's stunning performance with professional dancer Pasha Kovalev as they danced the Showdance to Angles by Robbie Williams in a moment that still managers to fill viewers' souls with joy.

The dance was described as "beautiful" by the usually sharp-tongued Craig Revel Horwood as he remembered Caroline's stunning 2014 performance in a ranking of the show's most memorable dances of all-time.

Caroline went on to win the Glitterball Trophy in the twelfth series of Strictly and her talent clearly knew no bounds.
