The grand finale of Strictly Come Dancing is set for December 14, featuring four finalists competing for the Glitterball Trophy
London: The hit show Strictly Come Dancing is wrapping up after 13 weeks of amazing performances. The competition has narrowed down to the final four couples after Pete Wicks and Jowita Przysta left in the semi-finals.
Now, we have Tasha Ghouri with Aljaz Skorjanec, JB Gill with Lauren Oakley, Sarah Hadland with Vito Coppola, and Chris McCausland with Dianne Buswell ready to hit the dance floor.
This Saturday night, December 14, they’ll each perform three routines, hoping to impress the audience. The judges—Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood, and Shirley Ballas—will score the dances, but it’s really up to the viewers to decide who wins.
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be back to host the finale, leading us to the moment when one couple takes home the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
So, when does the final kick off? The last episode of this series starts on Saturday, December 14, at 6 PM on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. It’ll run for two hours and 35 minutes, wrapping up at 8:35 PM when the winner is announced.
Unlike other weekends, there won’t be a results show on Sunday, December 15. Instead, the winner will be revealed right after the public vote on Saturday night.
As for the finalists, they’ll each perform three dances: a Show Dance, a Judges’ Pick, and a Personal Pick. JB and Lauren will groove to some classic Motown hits, while Chris and Dianne will dance to ‘You Get What You Give’ by New Radicals.
Tasha and Aljaz are set to perform to ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’ by Benny Goodman, and Sarah and Vito will showcase their Show Dance to ‘Cabaret’ by Metropole Orkest.
In addition, JB and Lauren will revisit their Musicals Week number with a Viennese Waltz to ‘Let’s Go Fly a Kite’ from Mary Poppins, and a Samba to ‘Mas Que Nada’ by Sergio Mendes.
Chris and Dianne will bring back their Couple’s Choice from Week 8, dancing to ‘Instant Karma’ by John Lennon, and finish with a Waltz to ‘You Will Never Walk Alone’ by Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Tasha and Aljaz will also perform their Couple’s Choice routine to ‘What About Us’ by P!nk, along with an American Smooth to ‘Someone You Loved’ by Lewis Capaldi.
Finally, Sarah and Vito will showcase their American Smooth to ‘Proud’ by Heather Small, and their last dance will be a Cha Cha to Madonna’s ‘Like a Prayer’.
