Strictly Come Dancing final: What to expect tonight

The finalists will each perform three times later – meaning there’ll be a dozen dances to dissect over the course of the evening.

Each couple will select their favourite dance from the series, one chosen for them by the judges and a new showdance routine.

The judges will give scores for each performance but the winner will be chosen by the viewers in a public vote.

While the results of the eliminations have been shown on Sunday despite being recorded after the live show, tonight we will know the outcome with the winners crowned.

Traditionally, the final also sees the return of last year’s champion so we can expect to see Ellie Leach return to the ballroom before the baton is handed over.

Who will lift the Glitterball trophy?
