Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing - the Grand Final!
Thank you to our amazing studio audience and you at home for joining
us on what we hope will be a spectacular night in the ballroom.
For 20 years, we ve been crowning champions, and tonight, either JB,
Tasha, Chris or Sarah will join that prestigious list.
Together they ve trained for over 1,000 hours,
scored 51 tens and entertained us all for 12 weeks,
but only one of them can lift the Glitterball trophy.
Who that will be is entirely your decision as tonight, the judges'
scores are purely for guidance.
But we still couldn't do it without them.
Please welcome...

CHEERING
Congratulations, Chris, Tasha, JB and Sarah.
Lots of luck to you all.
Our first round of dances is the judges' pick and this
performance saw our first couple top the leaderboard with a near
perfect score of 39.
It's JB and Lauren.
I wonder which judge it's going to be?
Hey!
My, loves!
Yay!
Anton Du Beke, the King of ballroom.
I don't think there's any better person to come through that door.
The judges have decided that we'd love to see
again your wonderful Viennese waltz.
Yes!
JB and Lauren.
I'm delighted for him that he's in the final.
We got a 39.
Yes, we did.
One point from...
his Lordship down the end.
I've come in today to give them a pearl of my wisdom and see
if we can get them a 40.
The week we were working on the Viennese waltz,
the pivots were the thing we couldn't quite get over the hill.
This side has to be long at all times.
If this gets short at any stage, my head comes in, the arm drops.
Anton actually made it really easy.
What he was saying is just, if everything's aligned, it makes
the movement so much smoother.
Do you see how much space I've got between my ear and her head?
Lean that head.
I love it.
All right, relax.
That's the only thing I'd like you to focus on really.
Bring back all the other things that you do so beautifully.
Go on.
And the thumb.
Oh, God, I forgot about the thumb.
LAUGHS.
It is an important thing.
I mean, we joke about it but if it's stuck up in the air,
you can see nothing but the thumb.
As my old teacher used to say, that looks like proper ballroom dancing.
I think the dance is beautiful.
He's been flying and it's been a joy to watch.
To be able to focus on a few nuggets of information to make this dance go
to the next level is just invaluable and I can't wait to do it again.

We re heading back to Week 7 now, when Tasha shared
what dancing meant to her.
She told a beautiful story with her Couple's Choice,
so it's not surprising that the judges wanted
to see it again.
It's Tasha and Aljaz.
We did it.
Tasha Ghouri, the Strictly finalist.
I'm really excited to see who's going to walk through the door.
I know, the same.
Yes!
It's Motsi!
Welcome to the final!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
How are you feeling?
I feel excited.
So you will be dancing your Couple's Choice.
Yes.
We got a 39 on this, but if we actually want to make that
a 40, I think all that emotion you felt in the Dance-Off,
I want us to put it in the dance and I want each and every person
at home to feel that.
Open your heart and put it on the dance floor.
Let's get to work!
Come on!
I would want that reaction to be much faster.
Here I am.
Boom! Ah!
Wow. Nice!
There's one thing getting your steps perfect but actually being able
to transport that emotion in your body and then
share it with everybody, that's something that we've
been working on.
He takes you in and you kind of react.
Every time he touches you, you kind of put an emotion into that
interaction with him.
I really want to take Motsi's advice about just being at one with him,
let go and just go for it.
Good girl!
Beautiful!
Good girl!
Thank you!
Just live the moment.
Live the dance.
You've fought your way through and you so deserve
that space in the final.
So we leave it behind, the moment is now.
Let's go!
Dancing their Couple's Choice, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec.

Our next finalist Chris has not only warmed our hearts
with his new found love of dancing and entertained us with his
wonderful routines,
but has also kept the judges on their toes, especially
one in particular.
This week, they finally spent some quality time together.
What judge do you think is going to walk through those doors any minute?
Hello.
Come on, Craig, bring it in.
The judges have chosen your couple's choice.
Woohoo!
I am here to help make it absolutely stunning.
Amazing.
This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
It could actually!
Let's do it.
Come on, I'm ready.
Yep.
Through here.
Yep, good.
Things that I thought could be better were all
into lifts, make those look a little prettier.
You need to make that look cuter.
Lovely.
And I also wanted a little bit more showmanship.
If you left your little finger up, that says Fred Astaire.
You have to have a certain finesse.
If you splay this hand so it's just on the hip.
Yeah, that's better, I think.
Craig is quite hands-on when he's teaching, which is good for me.
It's been a lot of fun.
He's a sweetheart really.
Nice line!
I've been practising, Craig.
I can tell.
Chris responds really well to the criticism.
If you feel my shoulders and we're doing the crossover thing.
He's very, very quick.
He'll feel it in his body.
Turn them in?
Yeah, a bit of shape.
And then suddenly it's set like concrete.
Which I adore.
Beautiful!
I'll kiss your hand.
Come on, a group hug.
Everything Craig said just feels within grasp.
Little tweaks that should make a lot of difference.
So I'm happy with that.
We are doing this for you, Craig.
Oh, yeah, you just remember that.

What would Shirley do?
Well, they found out this
week, when she paid them a visit in training.
Let s see what valuable advice our head judge
gave to Sarah and Vito.
Chasse.
Down.
We are waiting for one of the judges to appear.
We don't know who it's going to be.
Do you know who it's going to be?
No, I don't know yet who it's going to be.
You really don't?
I swear.
I really don't.
I hope they're nice to us.
Oh!
Oh, Shirley!
How are you?
It couldn't have been better for me that Shirley Ballas
walked in that door.
My motto this whole rehearsal period, "What would Shirley do?"
The purpose of this masterclass today is to go
over your American smooth.
The reason why the judges have picked this dance
for you is because we see so much potential.
In the American smooth, it's a licence to thrill.
There you go.
Yes, good girl.
There can be a lovely neckline, there can be flow in the arms,
This
there can be neater feet.
Every step forward on a heel.
Oh, OK.
I love being a student. Yeah.
It was very, very helpful and we will definitely apply
everything in our dance.
And up and over and...
breathe.
And you can exhale because we can't hear you.
Are you with me?
Oh, yeah!
And breathe.
Well done.
We are going to be looking for those finished extensions.
Look down your arm so it's like...
I'm bringing those people to me.
You need to have soft knees and absorb.
I've lowered the knees but just don't get lost
inside your own clothing.
Yeah.
She's just got to bring it all together and sell it.
Thank you so much.
It's such a privilege.
Look, you've ended up in the final.
I'll bet you didn't think that for a New York minute, did you?
You represent, of course, all the women over 50.
I'm 64.
You get out there and you show women, you know what?
You can do this.
Oh!

MUSIC: A Little Less Conversation.
Our couples have two more dances to impress you tonight,
their showdance and their favourite routine of the series.
You can vote now, or you can wait until you have seen
all of the performances to make up your mind.
It is your votes alone that will decide our winner.
To help you, here is a reminder of their first dances.
It s time now for the Showdances.
Four brand-new routines from our Strictly Finalists.
First up, it s JB.
He has demonstrated his ability to overcome any challenge -
having topped the leaderboard six times, survived one dance-off
and changed partners after Amy's injury at the halfway point.
So before we see his Showdance, this is JB's Strictly Story.
Being part of Strictly Come Dancing, I don't think I was prepared for it
to be as joyous and uplifting as it has been.
This is going to be an epic partnership.
Your technique is coming on beautifully.
You are becoming our showman.
I have had a partnership with Amy throughout this experience.
I've also had a partnership with Lauren.
I reckon it's the first time it's ever happened
on Strictly Come Dancing, so it's definitely one
for the history books, but I owe them both an incredible
debt of gratitude because they have helped me to be sat here today.
Amy has been instrumental and we were on a roll.
The week one waltz, I felt like I was dancing
with somebody I've danced with for ever.
He literally threw himself in and I was so proud of him.
And then Lauren coming in and giving me the confidence,
the reassurance necessary to keep going.
Allowing me to continue to be myself.
I was able to build on that foundation and really
live those moments.
I am proud of JB every single day.
His ability is amazing.
His work ethic is incredible, he is such a hard worker
and he always brings it on a Saturday night.
This experience, it's a new lease of life.
Having sort of that extra grace, that extra kindness to yourself
and just saying, do you know what?
No matter what happens, we're going to go out
there and we're going to give our best.
Amy and Lauren are more than just dance teachers.
They have helped to establish a new connection with a love
of dance, not just dancing but a love of dance.
The show dance will bring out his emotion when he dances,
which brings everyone along on a journey with him as well.
Strictly Come Dancing, it's just, it's magical.
You can't explain it, it really is...
It has been tough but I can honestly say it is something that
I would absolutely do all over again.
Dancing their Showdance, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley.

Our next finalist has never scored below a 30,
has had two perfect scores and topped the leaderboard more
times than any other couple.
There is no denying she has earnt her place in the final.
To tell us about her time on Strictly, it s Tasha and Aljaz.
vts
This has been the best experience of my whole life by far.
Living my dream is just...
I can't even put into words how special it really is.
When you get out there on a Saturday night, you do your dance,
you're connecting with people.
There's no feeling like it.
I'm so glad that I'm the one that got to dance with Tasha.
From day one, I always felt that excitement from her.
Getting the first 40 of the series was just a moment I'll never forget.
It was like an out of body experience.
We've gone through perfect scores, we've gone through Dance-Offs.
She should be so proud of herself, she's been my winner
every single week.
Come on!
Yes!
Having the support from my family has just been amazing.
My dad's in Spain.
My mum's up north, my brother is in Australia.
Every week I've been dancing for them and we are
all in this together.
So many people have been sending me lovely messages, like,
"I wore my hair up today because I saw you with a cochlear
implant on TV, I wanted to show mine off as well."
That's what I've always wanted to do, was kind of show you can
embrace your disability.
I feel emotional because I don't want it to end.
You know, I've found...
I've found so much self-confidence.
I've found like the Tasha again.
I've learned how resilient I can be, how strong I really am.
I've never felt so happy.
I am so excited to do our show dance.
We are going to be doing quite like an old Hollywood classic.
Our show dance is fun, uplifting, upbeat, it's everything my Strictly
journey has been about.
You know, I want people just to smile and just
have a good time with us.
It's going to be special.

Back in the launch show, our next finalist told us he had no
idea how Strictly was going to work, and warned his partner
to lower her expectations of getting to the Final.
Three months later, here they are about to
perform their Showdance.
Before that, let's see what this journey has meant to him.
It's Chris and Dianne.
APPLAUSE
Being a part of Strictly this year has been...
It's been a real joy.
Going into that first episode, that is the scariest
thing I've ever done.
Which is why the high felt so amazing at the end of the dance.
The reaction afterwards, just astonishing.
They've all felt like moments.
I'm really, really proud.
He's done the most incredible things on that Strictly floor that actually
even as the teacher I'm still, like, how has he done that?
It's been incredible to do this with Dianne.
I've been very lucky to just have a really good
friend at the end of this.
He's come into my life, and I can't...
Imagine him not being there now.
He genuinely is like a friend that I never knew I needed in my life.
I think what we've done has really connected with a lot of people.
I hope it will make a difference in terms of people's attitudes
towards people who are blind or disabled people.
When I started this, my daughter was really nervous,
because she's 11, and I think she fed off my fears and my worries,
but she's really enjoyed watching me on it.
And she's really proud.
# Beautiful, the beautiful...
It feels good, you know?
# Started to say, I wouldn't change anything...
I've learned that I'm more resilient.
I think it'll take a lot more to scare me in the future,
and things don't have to be perfect to be a success, you know?
So we are going to be dancing our Showdance
to Get What You Give by the New Radicals,
and I think this song really sums up our time on Strictly.
We've had to be creative and had to find ways of doing things.
We've reaped the rewards in many ways, really,
of that effort that we've put in, because we're here in the final.

Our next star was only aiming to reach Halloween
when she entered the competition.
Tonight in the Final after topping the leaderboard twice
and scoring ten tens, she will perform her Showdance.
Before that, Sarah and Vito took time to reflect
on all she has achieved so far.
# So it starts...
Being part of Strictly Come Dancing, you do feel like you're
at the centre of something really magical.
Strictly is beloved.
You're part of something that brings people joy,
and that's really special.
# Say it loud...
We've had so much report from friends and family.
My mum loves Strictly, and to be able to see my mum in the audience
has just been amazing.
It was really special to be able to dedicate one
of our dances to my little one.
To get that opportunity to do something for my child that will be
there forever was amazing.
# Light up...
I think Vito has believed in me from day one.
He would say, "I think you can do that."
And I would be like, "No, I can't."
And he's really challenged that.
So I owe him a lot, because he kind of believed in me and pushed me,
and he has never once looked at me and gone, "Yeah, I don't think
you're going to be able to do that."
His phrase is, "She will do".
I'm like, if Vito thinks I can, I can.
Trilly looks a very powerful and independent and confident,
but she is also very, very hard on herself, and she told
us she was not good enough.
And I constantly was reminding her that "You are good".
Our Showdance, this is going to be everything Trilly's
learned in one dance.
I hope that when people watch me dance, they can see that this
is somebody that maybe thought they would never be able to do this,
and I would love it if people watching would think,
"I'm going to go for something", however small, in their life,
and have a bit of faith in yourself.
To be in the Strictly final, I never dreamed I would get this far.
When there is such a beautiful journey, you really
don't want it to finish.
But at the same time, there is a part of my heart
which is really attached to Trilly's heart, and this is going to be
our journey for ever.
You feel like you're living in Technicolor,
and now everything's going to be black and white, because nothing
is going to be as exciting as this ever again.

First up, JB and Lauren, who are hoping this Samba
could prove them worthy of lifting the Glitterball trophy.
APPLAUSE
What a dance to do for the last time on the Strictly Come
Dancing floor, the Samba.
For me, it was a no-brainer to revisit this.
It just seems to fit my body.
Yeah, there is technique underneath, of course,
but there is a looseness about it.
It was more about feeling the dance for me than it was of learning
steps, and I think that came across.
It is just going to be a party, which is what I feel
like our journey has all been about.
Yeah.
Having fun, bringing the energy.
I cannot wait.
I can't wait to see your face doing it.
It's going to be the best.
I would just like to say an incredibly heartfelt thank you.
I know this is going to set you off.
Again!
In week six, I had no idea what was going to happen.
And you stepped in and you've just helped me to go
from strength to strength.
You're amazing in your own right, but you've helped to transfer
some of that onto me, which I've just loved.
It special, it genuinely is.
Thank you for trusting me and letting me share my love
for what I do, and just being a sponge and absorbing it
and taking it and bringing it to everybody else,
because it shines out of you, honestly.
Come on, then.

You made Strictly for me one of the most joyous times ever.
I can't put into words how grateful I am to have built this beautiful

I remember when we first got paired up, you walking through the doors,
and I just remember seeing the biggest smile on your face.
Straightaway, I just felt at ease.

There has just been so many laughs.
Oh!

I'm really going to miss just having the best day together.
You believed in me.
You believed that I could.
I thank you for that, because there's been times
where I didn't believe in myself.
But you picked me up and said, "you can do this".
Our third dance is our favourite dance, which is the American smooth.
The lifts, the song, the meaning behind it,
everything was just beautiful.
That's going to be our last dance together.
I don't want to think about it.
I don't want that feeling to ever go.
So I just need to hold onto it, and...
Yeah, take it with me when I leave.
No one can take it away from you.

Time now for our next couple's favourite dance of the series.
They've chosen their Waltz, to You ll Never Walk Alone.
This song means a lot to Chris as a proud Liverpudlian, and also
represents the strength of their partnership.
Dancing for one last time, it's Chris and Dianne.
APPLAUSE
When I walked in and said, "Chris!
"It's Dianne!"
I hope my enthusiasm stayed that strong.
Unfortunately, yeah, it did.
It did?
Chris!
I have learned a lot doing this and I don't mean about dancing.
I have learnt that I am more capable than I thought I was.
I am going to look at myself differently moving forward.
It's been the best experience of my dancing career.
You have made me feel I can be exactly who I am as well.
Your belief and your trust in me has been
incredible and this, for me, has
been full of so many joyful, joyous, celebratory moments.
You make me feel at ease, even though I know you are so scared.
Everyone at home that has watched you has felt every emotion with you.
Yeah.
Well, I mean...
It has been life-changing.
Come here.
Let's go and enjoy our final dance together.
Our favourite dance is going to be the waltz that we've done
to You'll Never Walk Alone.
It is such an emotional song and a beautiful
dance to finish with.
Oh, God!
I'm going to be a mess on Saturday!

MUSIC: You'll Never Walk Alone
# When you walk through the storm
# Hold your head up high
# And don't be afraid of the dark
# At the end of the storm is a golden sky
# And the sweet silver song of the lark
# Walk on, through the wind
# Walk on, through the rain
# Though your dreams be tossed and blown
# Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
# And you'll never walk alone
# You'll never walk alone

Tess.
Back in the beginning, Sarah, our Strictly superfan, had one
partner in mind, and over the last 12 weeks he's not only helped her
to become a beautiful dancer but also brought
out her inner confidence.
For the final time in the series, it's Sarah and Vito.
I think this entire journey has been memorable since the beginning.
When I saw you and you came through the door, I was like, "Yes!"
I think this is why we are a good match as well, because look,
we're both quite bouncy, aren't we?
To see you and all your friends, these amazing people, I just think,
if they are around you, it's because you are
a beautiful person.
Oh, Vito!
Our team name...
BOTH: Team Tiramisu.
Team Tiramisu!
You were like, it means, lift me up, pick me up,
and it's like, that's perfect.
How excited are you to dance our cha-cha-cha?
That dance was quite a big turning point I feel like for me.
A part of the jump and the trust in the jump.
I wouldn't have done that in Week One.
People think that usually in this Strictly journey,
it's just a way of learning for you but I do believe that this
is an exchange of life experience.
I think I have learnt from you as much as you have learnt from me.
Aw!
As an actor, I always have the ability to just use
the character and then, doing Strictly, you've
just got to be yourself.
So it's quite a vulnerable situation to be in.
You think you're masking things but I think you've been really good
at seeing me for who I really am.
You want to make everyone proud, and mostly I want
you to be proud of yourself.

Tonight
Tonight has been the highest scoring
Strictly
Strictly final ever.
There are under nine minutes left to vote for your favourites.
Remember, it is all down to you.
You get to choose your Champions.
Tonight may be the final, but we still have more Strictly
for you over the next two weeks, including a very special
tribute to our 20 years.
Is this my partner?
Hi, I'm Kevin.
I wanted Vito.
We're really lucky, aren't we, to still be friends 20 years later.
Boo!
This is nice, isn't it?
Boom, bam, you know, right, left, diagonal, up, down!
Oh, yes!
I feel very proud that I was the first person
to lift that Glitterball.
And I think back to series one, and how far this programme has come.
Strictly - 20 Fabulous Years, next Saturday at 7pm
on BBC One and iPlayer.
Tonight is a celebration not only of our finalists,
but all the cast that made Strictly 24 such a special series.
One, two, three...
Being on Strictly is an incredible privilege.
The most magical experience of my life.
Strictly is like no other thing ever do.
There's some kind of magic about it.
We laughed from beginning to end, and we just had the best time.
I shared a dressing room with Merse.
He still doesn't know my name.
Gwyn.
The name's Wynne.
Oh, is it?
I'd better change my phone.
LAUGHTER.
# The sweetest pleasure...
I'll never forget just the nerves I had
on the day that your partner was being revealed.
Being partnered with Katya was the best thing.
Getting to be with Johannes every day was the
highlight of my Strictly experience.
You can't imagine!
The first week in the training room was just crazy.
Absolutely mind blowing.
How am I ever going to remember all this
dance?
But you do.
I actually got to open Strictly Come Dancing 2024.
The very first dance of the very first
day.
The whole thing was just a joy to do.
I will never forget just standing on the floor and seeing
everybody just dance, and the joy in their face, and also
the fear in all of our eyes, like, this is live!
I wore some naughty costumes.
The Elton John one was naughty.
Oh, Tomb Raider!
I loved the Beatles, and the fact that they were my own
handlebars.
The tango was brilliant.
It was just incredible.
I adored the jive.
Doing ballroom to Vindaloo, I don't think anybody's ever done
that.
Getting to Blackpool was brilliant.
Being at the iconic Tower Ballroom is just...wild!
The buzz from the fans is incredible.
The crew, the designs of the costumes,
the hair and make-up.
Every aspect Strictly is world class.
# Because I couldn't leave you if I tried...
One word to describe Strictly?
Special.
Exhilarating.
Unforgettable.
It's just magical.
I don't think there is one word to describe Strictly.
There's not enough superlatives to describe the
impact it has on so many people.
Strictly really has helped me just...
Feel that, yeah, I belong.
That's very emotional!
To feel happy as the greatest release you can ever
have.
Dancing does that.
It hits you in places you never thought dance
and music could.
It's just one of the most amazing experiences.
It's just amazing for the way that it
makes everyone feel, and I feel alive.
If I could do Strictly again, I would in a heartbeat.
People talk about, like, Strictly family, do you
think, what a load of waffle?
But actually, it's true.
# No, I can't let go...
# I just can't let go...
If I'd carried on doing that, I think I
probably would have gone on and won it.
LAUGHTER.
What are you laughing at?
We loved having each and every one of them
on the dance floor this year.
There are only four minutes left to vote.
But now it's time for a very special performance.
Please welcome back our cast of 2024.

Hello, everyone.
How are you doing?
# Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell you 'bout
# One of the many men
# Name is irrelevant, height is irrelevant
# He was a one out of a ten, I wish that I knew it then
# I'm still recovering (Uh)
# Truly I'm vulnerable, I love a sentiment
# Quickly I opened up, I learn?d my lesson then
# Thought I was safe again, thought h? was innocent
# I was so wrong
# I can't deny, I was stuck in a daze
# A terrible phase
# You was convincing though, very believable
# The role that you played
# So I'll take this front row seat
# And baby, baby, you can go ahead
# Cry those Oscar winning tears
# Popcorn and I scream
# Baby, baby, you can go ahead
# Cry those Oscar winning tears, baby, hmm, mm, mm
# Oh, what a tragedy, it didn't have to be
# Look how you talk to me, cursing and blasphemy
# Cinematography, get this on camera, please
# Or no one gon' believe this here
# I can't deny, I thought you were the man
# But you had a plan
# What you lying for?
# What you crying for?
# You did it again
# So I'll take this front-row seat
# And baby, baby, you can go ahead
# Cry those Oscar winning tears
# Popcorn and I scream
# Baby, baby, you can go ahead
# Cry those Oscar winning tears
# Tears, tears baby
# You can miss me with those
# I can see right through your tears (Tears, baby)
# Nine o'clock entertainment
# Oh, man, I wish I could tape it
# Sit down, no tissues
# No string section, no tiny violin
# For the last time, I'm your audience
# I'll take this front-row seat
# And baby, baby, you can go ahead and cry those
# Go ahead, cry those Oscar winning tears baby.#
