Four couples dance in the Strictly Come Dancing final as the main competitors vying for the Glitterball Trophy.
The Strictly Come Dancing Grand Final features the culmination of the series, where the top competing couples perform their final routines. For the 20th anniversary series, this included the final four couples who had made it through the intense competition. These couples showcase their best dances, often including a judges' pick, their own favourite, and a showdance, to impress both the judging panel and the voting public.
Who Performs in the Strictly Final?
While four couples compete for the title, the final is a grand spectacle that involves a much wider array of performers, creating an unforgettable show. The performances typically include:
- Finalist Couples: The primary focus is on the four celebrity and professional dancer pairings who have reached the final stage of the competition. They perform multiple routines throughout the night.
- Professional Dancers: The show's professional dancers deliver show-stopping performances, often featuring special guest artists. For instance, in a recent final, the professionals joined artist RAYE for an incredible performance.
- Full Cast Reunion: A beloved tradition of the Strictly Come Dancing final is the return of the entire cast from the series. All the celebrities and their professional partners from the 2024 series return to the dance floor for one last routine together, celebrating the season's journey.
The Grand Final is not just a competition but also a celebration of the series, with reflections from the finalists, judges, and presenters like Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman on the "fab-u-lous" season.
