STRICTLY Come Dancing’s final has taken an emotional twist as one contestant was renuited with a family member from the other side of the globe.
Tasha Ghoirui had just finished her show dance alongside professional Alijaz Skorjanec, with a Fred and Ginger inspired performance before things got emotional.
Speaking to host Claudia Winkleman in the Clauditorium she told Strictly viewers how grateful she was for their support and for her family’s.
The former Love Island star explained: “I’ve had my dad, my mum, Andrew….everyone. I’ve been so lucky to have everyone.
“This is for them, and for everyone who has voted for us thank you.”
She was then asked about her brother, who lives in Australia, as she added: “He’s in Australia right now.
“My brother is so supportive and I really miss him. He can’t be here today.”
Yet then as she got emotional Claudia revealed that her brother was in fact here to see her dance, as Neil Jones brought him out for an emotional reunion.
The pair hugged each other, with viewers at home left moved by the family reunion.
One Strictly fan wrote: “God I’m sobbing the dances are amazing, Tasha‘s brother flying over, Chris is brilliant, so are Sarah and JB.. what a final!!!!”
Another shared: “Tasha’s brother flew over from Australia to surprise her at the final!!! I am sobbing.”
“Tasha and her brother. Sibling love personified. Love love love,” said a third.
A fourth added: “HOLY MOLY, TASHA‘S BROTHER CRASHED THE PARTY FOR THE FINAL DANCE-OFF!!!!!
“WHAT A MAGICAL, GLITTER-BOMB OF A SURPRISE!”
“Tasha’s brother surprising her into Chris and Dianne’s video oh god I’m emotionally ruined,” said a fifth.
Tasha has already been earmarked as one of the potential winners for tonight’s final, with Anton du Beke calling her “the best dancer we’ve ever had on Strictly”.
The star, who was born deaf, has inspiringly vowed to raise awareness of her disability, which she calls her “superpower.”
Speaking about the chance she’s had to raise awareness on Strictly, Tasha said: “The messages I’ve got from younger women, younger children, teenagers, have said ‘I felt represented because I’ve seen you on TV, I started decorating mine as well’.
“I feel like it’s just been such a special year to be a part of because representation is so important to have and I feel so passionate about it, honestly.”
Strictly first kicked off back in 2004, and over the years has crowned 21 winners.
