After an exhilarating 12 weeks on the dance floor, the winner of Strictly Come Dancing will be revealed on Saturday 16th December.

Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola and Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell make up the final three and their weeks of hard work will finally come to a head this weekend.

As the final commences, the dancing duos will be performing three different routines, including an iconic show dance, a judges’ pick and their favourite dance.

Some of the dances include a Showdance to a Jennifer Lopez Megamix, the Judges’ Pick Samba to Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton and a Favourite Dance Tango to Tattoo by Loreen.

In this week’s episode of Strictly Between Us, Entertainment and Factual writer Katelyn Mensah and self-professed “Strictly super-fan”, Katie White, talk all about the upcoming final as they give their predictions on who they think will win and look back on a glorious 12 weeks.

Over the course of the competition, viewers have been delighted with each and every performance, with some notable ones including Annabel Croft‘s touching tribute to her husband who sadly passed away and Krishnan Guru-Murthy‘s Strictly journey being nothing more than utter perfection.
