He told me: “It’s a real privilege actually to have moved on and for people to make the noise and say, you know, you’ve done all right.”

On stage he added: “I started 47 years ago this month, it’s amazing I’m still standing up here. It’s been an absolute joy over the age of 60 to reinvent myself as something new.”

Collecting his extra awards later, he joked: “Now I’m looking forward to doing something else, maybe standing as President of the United States.

Maureen Lipman who plays  Evelyn Plummer, took the  Best Actor gong and dedicated it to Roy Cropper actor David Nelson.

STRICTLY  professional Michelle Tsiakkas says losing under-fire dance pro Giovanni Pernice won’t change the show. 

Celebrating with head judge Shirley Ballas, pictured with the   Entertainment award, Michelle said: “We’re sad about losing Giovanni – we are a big family at the end of the day, but Strictly has been so successful over the last 20 years – so we must be doing something right. 

“It’s the best distraction for people when they have troubles in their life and they put on the TV.”
