[mrjanu100]

i think jill and darren were the best couple ever on the show. we should see more of them on the current shows

[dguri]

Gorgeous, she was bloody good from day one!

This clip just reminds me of how ANGRY I am when the producers give Darren and Lilia rubbish contestants. Fantastic pros, great choreographers. Give them a decent partner so I can see more this is magic. I demand!!!!!

'clearly a few pounds heavier' Yeah, she just had a baby nevertheless a great performance....thnx

Definitely one of my top 10 favourite Strictly moments. Len said to Alesha she was the best female contestant ever - after this he sure would've liked to take it all back! Yes, Alesha's modern vibe is great but Jill is so amazing in every respect as a dancer, and shows you can be curvey and still pull tight moves!

By far Jill Half Penny the best dancer ever to emerge from SCD - she looks like a professional :)

[hicm1of12]

Jill & Darren's was not only the best dance of the competition, but one of the greatest I've ever seen on Strictly.

She looked as though she had lost nothing....despite being away from Darren > the ballroom for so long.

Even though she was clearly a few pounds heavier (but well girdled up?), she moved around the dance floor with the jaunty ease; grace, and flexibility of a ballerina, together with the dazzling style; pizzazz, and effervescent personality of a top showgirl.

I have to say even thuoght the song is not an official christmas song it still a wonderful dance and Gill and Darren are amazing together after all those years away and have a baby she has still got it. Go for it Gill!

[josar22]

Can't stop watching this, love Jill and Darren they are my all time favorites !

[musicgeeeky]

me too, she just has the magic that most of the others dont... i wouldnt mind being that energetic, flexible and dance-y so soon after she had her baby :D

[badgirlsisace]

A-MA-ZING :)

[firestartertwistedfi]

making that comment on a clip of jill halfpenny dancing is frankly bizarre

[26mae1987]

natural dancers all of them but this is not a christmas song its a xmas show but she was very good i wanted alesha to win but they where all fab xoxo caTT

[peterbix123]

well sound of music is a traditional christmas film (its always on at christmas)!

[queenoftheoutlands]

A great dance. I didn't start watching Strictly until series three, but after this dance I am officially a Jill and Darren fan!

[Vampirewithvenom]

Jill is amazing, for me she is probably my favourite of the celebrity dancers in all the series. She's got the personality AND the technique.

The only criticism I have is that I felt the dress wasn't very flattering and didn't make the dance look entirely smooth. I am glad she won.

[REG1430]

Jill still has the magic!

[MzMauritius]

i missed this one on xmas day. It was pretty amazing...good to see jill still has it in her ;-)

[CuriousGeorge1991]

you know how she only had 5 training sessions? how many do the dancers and celebrities usually have?

[bill2893]
