Strictly Come Dancing Denmark’s Winners Are A Same-Sex Couple
Jakob Fauerby and dancing partner Silas Holst won both judge's opinions as well as the viewers at home with their magnificent dance routines and secured their place in the next phase of the show.
“It’s a whole new experience. It is quite overwhelming. So many [people] write to me on social media with their own stories. I feel pretty privileged,” Jakob said, explaining that he was “speechless” over the results.
Jakob, who is openly gay, said he wanted from the start to be paired with a man, and thankfully the judges agreed to his request.
He took to Instagram after winning to call it a “totally crazy” and “absolutely amazing” experience.
“Thank you so much to all of you for your wonderful messages and great support over the last 12 weeks,” he wrote.
“I am so proud that my daughter, her big brother, and all other little boys and girls can go out into the world and love the way they want and dance with whomever they want.”
