The 20th anniversary of Strictly Come Dancing came to an unforgettable end this weekend, leaving the nation in a state of both glittering and emotional overload. As comedian Chris McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell lifted the coveted Glitterball Trophy, the entire studio, and let's be honest, the whole country, couldn't help but shed a few tears. This historic win also marked the first time a blind star has not only participated but emerged victorious in the competition.
But the question remains, who will be the real winner beyond the ballroom? While Chris is set to embark on a massive tour next year, he's not the only one predicted to rake in millions. Love Islander Tasha Ghouri is also expected to earn a hefty six-figure sum as lucrative deals keep pouring in.
Throughout the series, Tasha, along with her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec, consistently wowed both the judges and audiences, earning perfect scores and topping the leaderboard. Although she didn't take home the Glitterball Trophy, PR experts believe she may have won in the long run.
Kayley Cornelius, speaking on behalf of Betfred Lotto to Daily Star, predicts that Tasha's marketability and ability to connect with a wide range of audiences will make her the real winner of Strictly. With her content centered around lifestyle, beauty, and fashion, she's highly appealing to brands in those sectors, known for being big spenders in online advertising.
Since announcing her participation in Strictly, Tasha's Instagram engagement has doubled, proving her immense popularity. With 1.4 million followers on the platform, her posts showcasing her outfits and giving an insight into her life with a cochlear implant have captivated her audience.
This surge in popularity means that Tasha can easily command a five-figure sum for sponsored posts and long-term collaborations, potentially pushing her over the six-figure mark. She's also expected to receive offers for TV and radio appearances, as well as podcast interviews.
But it doesn't stop there. Tasha may even have a future in another reality show, such as I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! With her boyfriend Andrew Le Page by her side, Tasha has the full support of her loved ones as she continues to reach new heights in her career.
As for the rest of the Strictly finalists, Sarah Hadland and her partner Vito Coppola, JB Gill and his partner Lauren Oakley, gave us the highest-scoring final ever, with a total of 472 out of a possible 480 points awarded. And with a peak viewership of 9.3 million and an average of 8.6 million, it's safe to say that Strictly Come Dancing 2024 has been a massive success.
