Finally, the much-awaited finale of Strictly Come Dancing 2023 has arrived, featuring three talented actors namely, Bobby Brazier, Layton Williams, and Ellie Leach. They will be battling it out to win the prestigious Glitterball Trophy.
Following a highly entertaining semi-final showcase that included plenty of glitz, glam, and perfect scores, the supremely ostentatious program of BBC One is set to return for its grand finale. The remaining competitors will be putting on the performance of their lives in a bid to win over the panel of judges - consisting of Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke.
Before the nailbiting event, Vito Coppola, who is a professional partner of Leach, provided fans with a glimpse of their rigorous rehearsal schedule.
Jeff, the father of Brazier, has been posting emotional messages for his son, who is a star in EastEnders, and his dance partner Dianne Buswell. Williams from Bad Education, who is partnered with Nikita Kuzmin, has been receiving negative comments about his past experience in dancing.
However, the identity of this year's show champion remains unknown to us. We shall have to exercise patience for a bit longer until the revelation.
Stay tuned to our live coverage of the ultimate match below...
"Bobby Brazier, Three Months Back"
In September, I had a chat with Bobby Brazier about his upcoming appearance on Strictly 2023. He was very excited and said that it felt like he had been preparing for this moment his whole life (which is only 20 years so far). During our conversation, he made me laugh by comically leaning into the Zoom screen to get a better view of the cookbooks in my kitchen. When he saw one titled "Ottolenghi," he jokingly exclaimed that it sounded like a pasta dish.

Dame Rantzen, who participated in the eighth season of Strictly in 2004, expressed her dissatisfaction with BBC's decision to hire Layton Williams. According to her, the BBC bosses made a mistake as they were not considering the bigger picture, particularly his background in musical theatre.

Strictly Final: Only 2.5 Hours Left!
Greetings and a warm welcome to The Independent's live blog for the Strictly final. I am Ellie Harrison, your host for the evening.
