Strictly 2023: All you need to know about the final

Dianne and Bobby, Nikita and Layton and Ellie and Vito.

It's here. After 12 weeks of long training days, blisters on their feet and countless spray tans, the three Strictly Come Dancing contestants are hitting the ballroom for the Grand Final.

But before the glitter ball trophy is handed over to one of the couples, they have to perform, not one, but three dances for the voting public.

The judges will still be scoring the dances but they will not count towards the final result.

Here is what we can expect to see on Saturday night's final on BBC One at 19:00 GMT.

Back in September, EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier said he had his eyes set on the Glitter Ball, but can he accomplish his goal?

His partner Dianne Buswell reached the final in 2018 with her now boyfriend Joe Sugg but is yet to lift the trophy.

Bobby and Dianne's highest score of 38 is the lowest to score of the finalists, but will their La La Land themed show dance be a swinging success?

Ellie and Vito

Favourite Dance: American Smooth to Ain't That A Kick In The Head by Robbie Williams

Show Dance: Jennifer Lopez Megamix

Judges' Pick: Paso Doble to Insomnia by 2WEI

Ellie Leach, who has been gracing the Coronation Street cobbles for the last 12 years, said being part of the Strictly journey was like a dream come true.

Ellie and her partner Vito will be performing their favourite dance of the series, the American Smooth.

"It just felt so beautiful to perform. It felt glamorous and grand, and it felt [like] that's what Strictly is all about," she told the spin off show, Strictly: It Takes Two.

The pair have scored a perfect 10 a total of 14 times throughout the series, but will be hoping to get their first 40 in the weekend's final.

Layton and Nikita

Favourite Dance: Argentine Tango to Tattoo by Loreen

Show Dance: Friend Like Me by Ne-Yo

Judges' Pick: Quickstep to Puttin' On The Ritz by Gregory Porter

West End star Layton Williams said he was living by the motto, "Go hard or go home" at the start of his Strictly journey.

He and Nikita have the highest average score of all the finalists and will be hoping to secure a score of 40 on Saturday.

Their show dance will be to a Disney favourite, 'Friend Like Me' from Aladdin, so we can probably expect some magical moves from the dance genies themselves.

Are you ready for the final? Are you doing anything special for it? Perhaps a Strictly party or dressing in your finest sparkles?
