The final of Strictly Come Dancing is finally upon us and the routines and song choices of our remaining couples have been revealed.

On Saturday night (17th December), the final four celebrities will be taking to the dance floor for the last time to find out who will be lifting the glitterball trophy for 2022.

After a close semi-final last week, it was Hollyoaks actor Will Mellor that became the 11th celebrity to leave the competition after landing in the dance-off with Fleur East. Judges Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabue and Shirley Ballas decided to save Fleur but admitted it was a “really difficult decision”.

This means the X-Factor star joins Helen Skelton, Molly Rainford and Hamza Yassin in the grand final and each of them will be dancing three times to perform a routine chosen by the judges, their favourite dance from the competition and a show dance.

Former Blue Peter presenter Helen and partner Gorka Marquez will be performing a jive to Tightrope by Janelle Monae as chosen by the judges, their couple’s choice to Mein Herr by Liza Minelli from Cabaret and a show dance to Shine by Emeli Sande.

Fleur and her parter Vito Coppola will dance a samba to Hot Hot Hot by arrow for their judges’ pick, their couple’s choice routine to a Destiny’s Child megamix by Destiny’s Child and their show dance to Find Me by Sigma featuring Birdy.

Wildlife cameraman Hamza is in a very good position after topping the leader board last week with partner Jowita and will be performing a salsa to Ecuador by Sash! featuring Rodriguez as chosen by the judges.

He will also dance his couple’s choice to Jerusalema Remix by Master KG featuring Burna Boy and Nomcebo Zikode and a show dance to Let’s Face The Music And Dance by Irving Berlin.

Children’s presenter Molly and her partner Carlos Gu will be performing a quickstep to Love On Top by Beyonce as their judges’ choice, their rumba to All The Man That I Need by Whitney Houston as their choice and a show dance to a mix of Kiss and 1999 by Prince.

It’s going to be a tough final as all four celebrities have topped the leaderboard at some point during the competition, so it’s everything to play for!

Strictly Come Dancing: The Final will air live on Saturday at 7.15pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
