What does the winner of the Strictly Christmas special get?
The Strictly Christmas special started back in 2004 .
Like the winner of the main show, the champ gets a trophy.
But instead of getting the famous Glitterball, they get a star shaped award.
The show has already been pre-recorded, and on December 12, 2021 fans were in uproar when someone leaked who won the show.
