  1. What did the judges think of Kellie and Kevin's Tango?published at 19:08

    "The characterisation was phenomenal... Sharp as you wanted it, clean as you wanted it... FAB-U-LOUS, darling!" Craig cries!

    "You top line is yummy, baby! The amount of attack you gave it... That was outstanding." Darcey says

    "Excuse the pun, but you've ironed out all 'The Kinks'" Len says. (We'll forgive him.)

    "You never cease to surprise me. You put a different slant on it but the dance was exactly as it should be," Bruno says, noting Kevin's alternative Tango choreography.

  4. Kellie's journeypublished at 19:02

    EastEnders star Kellie Bright has packed her Strictly training in despite a grueling filming schedule behind the bar of the Queen Vic. She's proved to be the perfect partner for Kevin Clifton, particularly in the enthusiasm stakes - only they could turn an elegant Viennese waltz into a riot of fun, or bring hip hop to hip action in their Samba.  

    Media caption,

    EastEnders actress Kellie Bright enters the Strictly training room for the first time.

    Kellie's scores so far

    1. Tango - 27
    2. Cha Cha - 27
    3. Charleston - 32
    4. Foxtrot - 32
    5. Jive - 35
    6. Paso Doble - 28
    7. Waltz - 32
    8. Samba - 33
    9. Quickstep - 37
    10. Salsa - 34
    11. Viennese Waltz
    12. 32 (Rhumba), 39 (American Smooth), 73 (total score)

    We always expect entertaining routines from Kellie and Kevin, and they never fail to deliver - particularly during their larger than life Quickstep in Blackpool's Tower Ballroom. And they topped off everything they've achieved so far in last week's shimmering Semi-Final with a stunning American Smooth that span them straight to the top of the leader board.

  5. Georgia and Giovanni's Rumba - the judges' scorespublished at 19:01

    Craig - 9

    Darcey - 9

    Len - 9

    Bruno - 9

    That gives them a total score of 36 - 9 more than they earned in Week 3 with the same dance.

  6. What did the judges think of Georgia and Giovanni's Rumba?published at 19:00

    "Ooooh, totally smitten by the sex kitten! She was made of spandex! I loved the extended line.... There was a little issue with balance though," Bruno enthuses, noting that Georgia has definitely improved.

    "You were using those hips beautifully... Back bend absolutely delicious darling! It was beautiful!" Craig says.

    "You have grown into this beautiful, sensual lady," Darcey gets flustered!

    "Lovely. Lots of content, which is what I asked for! The proof is in the pudding... Double O heaven!" Len exclaims.

    Jay reckoned the first dance was "the best it's ever gone". Do you agree?

  8. Georgia's journeypublished at 18:55

    Actress Georgia May Foote is the youngest celebrity dancing this series, and her aptitude for learning lines has evidently been handy for learning the moves taught to her by partner and new professional dancer, Giovanni Pernice. Together, they've frequently topped the leader board, and entertained us with their adventures in Manchester  - between training sessions, of course!  

    Media caption,

    How did actress Georgia May Foote find her first day of Strictly training?

    Georgia's scores so far

    1. Jive - 27
    2. Waltz - 25
    3. Rumba - 27
    4. Quickstep - 31
    5. Salsa - 31
    6. Tango - 35
    7. Samba - 35
    8. Charleston - 39
    9. American Smooth - 28
    10. Paso Doble - 33
    11. Foxtrot - 36
    12. 33 (Cha Cha), 38 (Viennese Waltz), 71 (total score)

    Georgia and Giovanni danced their hearts out in Week 8 and were the first couple rewarded with the highest score of the series so far - 39 - for their Charleston. And as this pair has been consistently among the highest scorers each week, we're definitely going to see some incredibly fancy footwork from them in the Final!

    Craig - 9

    Darcey - 9 

    Len - 9

    Bruno - 9

    That gives them a total score of 36 - 11 points higher than their initial score for the dance.

  12. What did the judges think of Jay and Aliona's Quickstep?published at 18:51

    It's the first dance of the Final, so will the judges be kind to Jay and Aliona?

    "I honestly didn't want him to put a foot wrong, but there was a couple of..." Len gets interrupted by boos from the audience! He continues to say that there was a 'vast improvement' on the last performance.

    "You really are incredible out there," Bruno says, complimenting Jay's dance ability.

    "You maintained your top line throughout and your thumb was down!" Craig says, getting very enthusiastic about Jay's hands!

    "Top grade... You're under so much pressure tonight. I have to say, it was divine... You were in charge," Darcey says, drawing whoops from the audience.

  14. Jay's journeypublished at 18:44

    The Wanted star Jay McGuiness had appeared on Strictly before - but only ever as a singer. Pairing up with Aliona Vilani, we've seen him come out of his shell week-on-week and inhabit the spirit of the dances he's gamely taken on. Jay's sharp attention to detail has delighted and stunned in equal measure - as well as leaving him as the last man in the running for the glitterball trophy.  

    Media caption,

    Check out this exclusive clip of Jay and Aliona in training!

    Jay's scores so far

    1. Cha Cha - 27
    2. Waltz - 31
    3. Jive - 37
    4. Quickstep - 25
    5. Paso Doble - 33
    6. American Smooth - 34
    7. Argentine Tango - 34
    8. Foxtrot - 30
    9. Salsa - 36
    10. Tango - 38
    11. Rumba - 39
    12. 34 (Viennese Waltz), 37 (Charleston), 71 (total score)

    Although they scored their highest score of the series for their musical-inspired rumba in the Quarter-Finals, Jay cemented his place in the competition way back in Week 3, earning the first 10 of the series for his breathtaking jive, which will surely be talked about for many series to come.

  15. What's coming up in the first show?published at 18:44

    First up, the final four will perform the dance the judges have asked them to perform again. The vote will then open and the four will each perform their Showdance.
