Strictly Come Dancing fans outraged after Ore Oduba 'SNUBS' wife from final speech
STRICTLY COME DANCING fans were in hysterics last night after joking the champion snubbed his wife Portia during an emotional tribute to partner Joanne Clifton.
'This is for you': Ore breaks down as he wins Strictly 2016
The BBC Sports presenter triumphed over bookies’ favourite Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp, before giving a breathtaking speech as he lifted the glitterball trophy.
Ore, 30, earned two perfect scores on the night, and topped the judges leaderboard.
Though a downpour of tears, he turned to Joanne and sobbed: “I love you with all of my heart. I am so speechless. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for everything you’ve given me.
“You are the most incredible person, and this has been the most incredible experience of my life.
“Can't help but wonder if Ore and his wife are gonna be having a 'difficult' conversation later this evening,” teased one jester, before someone else noted: “Ore telling Jo that he loves her whilst his Wife watches in the audience....#awkward.”
A fifth asked: “Should Ore be saying he's 'fallen in love with this girl' in front of his wife? Nearly kissed her on the lips just then,” while this dismayed fan cried: “His wife is gonna file for divorce... doesn't even acknowledge his wife!!”
Last night’s Strictly Come Dancing final set a new record for the BBC series last night as 11.8 million tuned in to watch Ore’s win and Len Goodman give a teary farewell as head judge.
