When it’s been such an honour @bbcstrictly and such a wonderful journey @Mrs_katjones you have to out on a high after thankfully a mistake free final dance. And so Lets go and celebrate the last moments on the iconic floor @BBCBreakfast albeit getting stuck under the dress.
Now that's how you leave #Strictly on a high! RT to give it up for @mikebreakfast and @Mrs_katjones. 👏

Very excited to be alongside (socially distant) the fabulous @OwainWynEvans on his @BBCBreakfast debut. We know he won’t miss a beat and it promises to be one of those “man of the match” debut performances.

Great topic Dan. The answer is no way. I’ve watched Leeds for decades and seen cup and league titles won. Never have I been more excited to watch @lufc whatever the result. Better to entertain and win some lose some than bore draws. Will never park the bus @andrearadri.
“Leeds United must change the way they play”. Discuss.

Thanks so much for wonderful ride. Of course I wanted it to go on +contrary to some reports i wasn’t relieved or had had enough, but as always the judges decision is totally fair and wanted joy at the end and delighted that @Mrs_katjones and i will be on the @SCD_Live_Tour.

One of my favourite days since first meeting Billy when he helped me find my feet on the Breakfast sofa was a day out to watch him commentating on his beloved @wwfcofficial against @lufc 2009. He was brilliant at everything he did and most importantly the most wonderful company.
Former BBC Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull has died. He was 66. He was loved by our viewers. He was loved by his colleagues. Bill will always be remembered for his warmth, humour and being a brilliant journalist.

This is heart breaking. Hope those involved have woken up and come to their senses and show remorse . So mindless and our thoughts are with Tony.
When the toe rags who vandalised the #MiAmigo memorial in the early hours finally wake up today I hope they are thoroughly ashamed & think about how they can repair the damage. Tony is devastated. They have smashed pots and ripped all the flags. Truly pathetic.

Thanks Caroline. I totally agree. I wldalways accept the decision of the judges and advice or when I play football the referee. The judges on @bbcstrictly are the best in the world and love the comments of the likes of @CraigRevHorwood @ShirleyBallas @MOTSI_MABUSE @BrunLabCaulo.
