Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 final.
Back in September, 16 couples entered the ballroom, with one being eliminated almost every week. Now, only the final three remain.
Karen Carney, Amber Davies or George Clarke. One of these three celebrities will be holding aloft the glitterball trophy at around 21:00 tonight.
Don’t forget, Amber nearly wasn’t here at all. The Love Island star was a last minute replacement for Dani Dyer, who had to pull out due to injury before the series even started.
History could be made tonight if former Lioness Karen lifts the trophy – she’d become the first former footballer (and let’s be honest, a fair few have tried over the years) to rule the ballroom.
And what about George? Described by the judges as an “early front runner”, he’s certainly proven them right throughout the series.
But whoever wins, we know it’s going to be an emotional night. After 21 years for Tess Daly and 11 for Claudia Winkleman, our hosts will appear in the Strictly final for the last time.
It really is the end of an era.
Three couples. Three dances each. One trophy to be won.
It’s going to be a special night, so stay with us.
