I can reveal that for the six finalists your tasks are as follows ......

You must now pick a song choice for a dance of your choice for the final. It cannot be a dance you've done already. This means the dance you did initially and the dance you got given to you by your saboteur

As well as this the 6 of you have been divided into three pairs. You will again all be voted for individually but as a pair you will both liaise with each other to come up with a Fusion dance. The pair of you will decide on a song choice and the two dance styles for that song.

Remember there are judges now so they will judge your individual routines and they will also rank the fusions.

The couple with the best fusion will gain 2 public vote points. The second placing fusion will gain 1 extra vote point and the losing fusion will stay the same.

Pairings will be announced shortly They will be decided by random.org

Nice twist

Do the 2 styles in the fusion have to be different from our other final dance and the first round dances?

Well deserved Ethan - Delighted for you.

Congratulations Ethan.

I'm sure an extended stay with Oksana will be a massive disappointment to you.
On the other hand I'm quite happy to be rid of Joanne.

The individual dance has to be different. But the fusion dance can be whatever you both decide

thanks Nick, really appreciate it I expect I'll be out first in the final but I'm looking forward to it.

I was a massive fan of Joanne at the start of the series. Now I can really see where you're coming from.

For the contestants who haven't made the final, you will now be judging the finalists performances

I can also reveal that as well as this that does of course mean we will have a leader board for this round. This leader board will count towards the public vote. So choose wisely finalists

Final routines are with the judges. (They've been sent to the judges anonymously )

Thanks to the judges that have sent marks in already. Please don't hint at your marks before the final if you wouldn't mind

Nick, I can only send half of them to you cause your inbox is full

As I've had issue with the final judges marks, you will all receive three marks per performance. So a total score of 30 is at stake

The final will take place later today with the results tomorrow evening

Welcome to the GRAND FINAL of this series of Christmas Twists & Glitter Baubles

12 have now become 6 in a bid to take the 2016 crown.

Lets welcome back your Christmas Finalists

Chris (captain_cherub) & Oti Mabuse
Danny (Damahepa) & Natalie Lowe
Ethan (EthanE) & Oksana Platero
Izzie (IzzieStar) & Gorka Marquez
Queenie (dancing.queen) & Aljaz Skorjanec
Ross (Monsieur23) & Chloe Hewitt


After surviving a sabotage routine each and dancing an individual dance each in the first round, the remaining 6 couples will also be performing another individual routine in which they had to choose a song choice and dance style which they had not performed before in a bid to be crowned your Christmas CHAMPIONS

As well as this individual routine, the couples worked in pairs to put together a Fusion in which they both had to come up with a suitable song choice and two dance styles to fusion together for that choice. The winning fusion will gain the two couples in that partnership a 2 point head start on the public vote. The second placed fusion will gain 1 extra vote point and the third placed fusion will remain exactly the same.

The couples for the fusion routines were

Chris & Oti and Queenie & Aljaz
Danny & Natalie and Ross & Chloe
Ethan & Oksana and Izzie & Gorka


And please welcome our judges for the final ..........

East (StrictlyEastend)
Mitch (pothuthic)
Nick (winter99)
Riley (RileyHollyoaks)


The marks the judges give will be crucial to the finalists as the judges leader board will be combined with the public vote

So with that lets get the final on the road

Opening the show with an American Smooth to 'You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch' by Jordan Smith, it's Izzie & Gorka

Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5Y0lVM-44k

East: 10
Nick: 10
Riley: 10

Nick: Wow - Loved this dance, loved the orchestra as it really provided a lovely American Smooth jazzy vibe, I can imagine a great dance and the song itself was lovely to listen to. A great choice - Well done.


What a way to open the grand final with a perfect score of 30 and a flawless routine well done to you both
