The dance routines set to be performed by this year’s Strictly Come Dancing finalists have been revealed ahead of the live final on Saturday night.
After a very tense semi-final last week, Hollyoaks actor Will Mellor, 46, became the 11th celebrity to leave the ballroom floor when he landed in the dreaded dance-off with Fleur East.
The former The X Factor star was ultimately saved by the judges Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas in a ‘really difficult decision’, making it through to the much anticipated final.
The 35-year-old will battle it out against Helen Skelton, Fleur East, Hamza Yassin and Molly Rainford for the Glitterball Trophy, hoping to be crowned champion of the 20th series of the juggernaut series.
Each celebrity will dance three times with their professional partner to perform a routine chosen by the judges, their own favourite dance and finally a show dance.
Former Blue Peter presenter, 39, and her prof partner Gorka Marquez will perform the jive to Tightrope by Janelle Monae at the request of the judges, their couple’s choice routine to Mein Herr by Liza Minnelli from Cabaret and finally their show dance to Shine by Emeli Sande.

Singer and radio DJ Fleur and her partner Vito Coppola will perform a samba to Hot Hot Hot by Arrow as their judges’ pick.
Their favourite dance will also be their couple’s choice routine, performed to a Destiny’s Child megamix by Destiny’s Child, followed by their show dance to Find Me by Sigma featuring Birdy.
Wildlife cameraman and presenter Hamza, 32, who topped the leader board with his partner Jowita Przystal in the live semi-final on Sunday, is set to fight for the glitzy gong with his trio of dances, featuring a judges’ pick routine of the salsa to Ecuador by Sash! featuring Rodriguez.

He will also perform his and Jowita’s couple’s choice to Jerusalema Remix by Master KG featuring Burna Boy and Nomcebo Zikode, as well as a show dance to Let’s Face The Music And Dance by Irving Berlin.
CBBC star Molly, 22, and her partner Carlos Gu will perform a quickstep to Love On Top by Beyonce as their judges’ pick, their rumba to All The Man That I Need by Whitney Houston as their favourite and finish with a show dance to a mix of Kiss and 1999 – both by Prince.
Each of the four finalists have all topped the Strictly leaderboard at some point during their time on the show and will be fighting to win the most public votes on Saturday evening.

The judging panel will offer their feedback on each of the performances – but ultimately it is down to the public to decide who will ultimately be crowned winners.
