Get ready for the 2023 Grand Final!

It's the moment we've all been waiting for... it's time for the Grand Final!

For the past 13 weeks, our couples have been working incredibly hard in the hopes of making it this far, and tonight one of them will lift that Glitterball trophy. How exciting!

Our Strictly stars will perform their Favourite Routine, Judges' Pick and a brand new Show Dance for a spectacular evening of dance. They'll show off everything they've learned throughout the series in one last bid to be crowned the Strictly 2023 Champions.

So, who's ready to find out who the winner is? The decision will be entirely yours to make tonight, as the Judges' votes will be for guidance only - so every vote counts. Listen out for when Claudia announces that the vote is open during the live show and make sure you head over to our homepage.

The vote will open after everyone has performed their first routine. All the information you need for voting can be found here.

We'll see you at 7:00pm on BBC One for a FAB-U-LOUS Final with some incredible routines! Make sure you follow us on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for all the backstage action throughout the night. And remember, don't forget to vote!

    Is it just me or does anyone else love Dianne as a brunette hair rather than a red head ? 😊

    If Ellie is marked down 1 for taking the greatest risks - those that don’t take the greatest risks should be marked down more. I thought that was FABULOUS Ellie!

    That 40 was long overdue for Ellie

    WOOF. On my sister's sofa with my Mum. Niece decorating the Christmas tree. Mia, my sister drinking tea in her kitchen. She signed up for a brand new Myeloma (blood bone cancer) treatment trial starting 2 to 4 weeks. They profile the genes of the myeloma cells first which tailors the subsequent medication you get.

    We are all gathered here for the Strictly Come Dancing Final. I'll be off to cook tea after I post this. I think I am certain who will win tonight and the rest of it is just enjoying the show till they do.

      Really hope the treatment will be successful for your sister Dfer. Hope you & your family all enjoy the final.

    Just wanted to make clear to the BBC that though I am enjoying Laytons dancing, I won't vote for him as he is a professional. It might be an idea to launch another show with contestants of similar experience so every one is competing on a level playing field.

      I totally agree
      I would pay to watch Layton dance
      I just don’t think he belongs in this competition

    As dear Annabel was knocked out I am now firmly for Ellie. She is everything I admire in a dancer. Excellent technique, sincere expression and authenticity.

      Agreed I love Ellie and vitos partnership and relationship so so so much

    Ellie has my votes! Judges can give their 10s elsewhere but they count for nothing tonight 😊

  • Comment posted by Fair Play, at 19:22 16 Dec 2023

    Strictly is about the journey so I want the winner to be someone who has improved so much from the first dance.

      Unfortunately, Annabelle was removed in the semi. When Craig votes to save someone, that's a sign of class and progression from week 1.

    What a terrific American Smooth from Ellie. 10s for me. Best of the night without question. She gets my votes for the Glitterball.

    Ellie Leach you are one courageous, stunning young woman. You are my winner.

  • Comment posted by Trevor S, at 19:24 16 Dec 2023

    Ellie was so strong in her first dance, if she does as well in next two she’s the obvious winner for me.

    God bless Amy - so pleased to see her on ITT this week and at the final. Hope 2024 is a good one for her.

    Yorkshireman has posted that “all the hate has made him vote for Leyton!” I think he’s confused as I haven’t seen any hateful posts, just those reiterating the unfairness of a professional dancer competing against novices. Please vote for whoever you wish, Sir, but don’t castigate others for expressing genuine opinions. Happy Christmas, Everyone 🥂

    Well there is no surprise from Craig again. I guess the 10 paddle will come out for Layton.

    Not before time giving Ellie 4 10s

    Not terribly excited about the final - first time for many years. So sad that Annabel is not there. Hope Ellie wins as she has been outstanding from very early o.
