ZOE: All the contestants are in a bid to be in the final, but sadly it's time up for one. The results are in.

Our first FINALISTS are....

Also in the final are.....

And now the first couple in the bottom two are.....

ZOE: I am here with F I N A L I S T S! Tristan, what do you have to say?

TRISTAN: My gosh, what do I say! I can't believe I made it- and with no dance-offs! It's an incredible feeling, and good luck to everyone next week!

ZOE: What about you, Kylie?

KYLIE: Well, a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who has votes, it reall means the world. If you told me in Week 6 when I was in the bottom two that I would be in the final, I would've pickled me walnuts! Thank you so much everybody!

Two remain.......


The coupple in the bottom two is.......


Richard and Oti, you are finalists!

The judges will each name the couple they'd like to save. In the case of a tie, we will go back to the public vote.

CRAIG: I would like to save Fearne and Kevin.

KAREN: Both couples are amazing and could both potentially win, but I would like to save Fearne and Kevin.

LEN: Look, it's tough deciding and it's hard to leave just before the final, but I am saving Fearne and Kevin.

IAN: Yes, I'm sorry Jim, but I am saving Fearne and Kevin.

JIM AND NATALIE OUT

Predictions?

What a fantastic final 4! Really love all 4, gonna be tough to choose a winner!

Jenna AND Jim, both out against Fearne.

Get that b**** out now.

(I dislike all 4 of the Final 4, but the game's still been fab, Nic).

Jim was fab, but I probably love him least out of the final 5

I myself hope Jim Chapman never does the real Strictly; just imagine what I'd be like on here...

(That but even more for Florence Welch, and even more even more for Susie Dent).

(Watch all 3 be in Series 14, and me turn into a pillar of salt).

If Florence is on Strictly, does she not sing for 13 weeks?

That's awesome!

Oh no! Yeah, I just realised Fearne knocked both out. I still hope you stay tuned and vote on the final!

So, in the final we have the ringah, the people's favourite, the journey.....and gold hot pants....

I trust they are on my Trissybabes

SANTA: Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

TESS: Merry Christmas to you too, Santa! Now, last week we lost Jim Chaoman as he faced Fearne in the dance off!

ZOE: This week is the final! We will first see a judge's choice, then the showdances!

TESS: Then the voting will open, and whoever comes bottom of the votes will finish in 4th place. The remaining 3 will dance their favourite dance in a bid to become your Glitterball Champions! Up first is The Vamps Drummer, Tristan Evans and his partner Camilla Dallerup!

For the final, our judges have chosen Tristan's Cha Cha Cha from Week 5. Tristan originally scored 32, but can he improve on that? Here is the judges overview of Tristan and Camilla.

Tristan and Camilla- Cha Cha Cha to "Cha Cha Slide".

KAREN: That's the Tristan we wanted to see! You corrected every single mistake, and actually looked alive instead of like a robot! You made no mistake; but I could mistake you for a proffessional! Well done, that was incredible!


Tristan says he's delighted, but it's only down from there!

ZOE: Next up is Queen of Pop Kylie Minogue and her partner Aljaž Skorjanec!

The judges have chosen Kylie's Quickstep to repeat in the final. Here's what the judges think of Kylie and Aljaž.


CRAIG: Kylie, there was gapping. You could almost fit another person through you. That said, you kept your frame throughout, footwork spot on, and those Charleston sections were excellent. Good job!


Kylie said she's over the moon and that she's excited for her showdance.

TESS: Now we have CBBC Actor and Presenter Richard Wisker and Oti Mabuse!

The rest will be up later, just need to pop to my Granny's

The judges want Richard to repeat his Week 1 Jive in the final. Here's what our judges think of Richard and Oti.


LEN: Land of 1000 kicks, that's what it is! Look, you've improved but your still a bit all over the place. You were, unfortunately out of time throughout and your free arm was just hanging there, unfortunately.


Richard says he's glad he's improved and did his best, which is all he can do.

Up next is DJ and TV Presenter Fearne Cotton and her partner Kevin Clifton!

The judges have chosen Fearne's Waltz from Week 1 to repeat in the final. Here is their opinion of Fearne and Kevin.

Fearne and Kevin- Waltz to "Clown". Original Score: 6,6,6,6 (24)

IAN: Oh, Fearne that was magnificent. You had grace, you had the hold, you had the footwork, everything just clicked together and was amazing.


Fearne is delighted, but slightly annoyed at Craig's 9.

TESS: A-MAZ-ING! That was incredible already! Let's look at the leaderboard so far.


ZOE: What improvement! Tristan went from 32 to 40, Fearne went from 24 to 39, Kylie went from 28 to 37, and Richard went from 21 to 31.

TESS: Now, Santa, are they on your nice list?

SANTA: Ho! Ho.......No.

TESS: Oh dear!

SANTA: Ho! Ho! Ho! Joking!

TESS: Phew! They might be on your naughty list after they throw away the rulebook and dance the showdance!

ZOE: No rules, which allows everyone to do as crazy as they want! Up first is The Vamps Drummer Tristan Evans and his partner Camilla Dallerup.
