Strictly Come Dancing final air time and Christmas special cast

Strictly Come Dancing will crown a winner this weekend and another festive champion for Christmas.

The celebrities are just one back Charleston kick step away from lifting the Glitterball trophy. What started out as a star-studded lineup of television's most familiar faces, the ballroom has been widdled down to just four.

Amongst those still battling out is singer Fleur East, photographer Hamza Yassin, presenter Helen Skelton, and singer Molly Rainford. Coronation Street's Will Mellor bit the dust this week after he and his partner were voted out by the judges in the semi-finals.

For their last attempts to lift the trophy, the celebrities and their partners will hit the floor in the most gruelling routines they've faced so far. Performing three back-to-back showstoppers, it is set to be a big challenge for the celebs.

The final airs this Saturday, starting at 7.05pm but that's not the last of the ballroom for the year. The annual Christmas special is just a week later with another lineup of brand-new celebrities.

The spin-off show will see podcaster and presenter Rosie Ramsey paired with professional Neil Jones, BBC Radio 1's Rickie Haywood-Williams dance alongside Luba Mushtuk, and Coronation Street's Alexandra Mardell partnered with Kai Widdrington.

Rounding out the Christmas stars is beloved actor Larry Lamb who is paired with Nadiya Bychkova, Girls Aloud superstar Nicola Roberts alongside Giovanni Pernice and presenter George Webster partnered with Amy Dowden.

Just like the main show, the special will see the celebrities take to the floor in a bid to be crowned Christmas Champion. Tess Daley and Claudia Winkleman present the show alongside the regular panel of Craig Revel Harwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton du Beke and head judge Shirley Ballas.

The Strictly Come Dancing 2022 Final airs Saturday, 7:05 pm on BBC One
