Strictly Come Dancing fans were in for a treat as singing superstar Ed Sheeran performed in the final.
The singing superstar performed his hit song Bad Habits as viewers waited to find out if Rose Ayling-Ellis or John Whaite had been crowned 2021 champion.
But as fans enjoyed Ed's guest appearance the spotlight was grabbed by the return of Strictly favourite Janette Manrara, who has been absent from the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing while she presents its spin-off show It Takes Two.
