Strictly Come Dancing has reached its final for another year. In just a few hours, the BBC will be handing out the Glitterball Trophy to the next winner.
Just three celebrities remain in the competition and will be hitting the ballroom floor one last time. It is expected to be a fiercely fought battle between two of the finalists in particular, at least according to the bookies.
Back in September, 15 stars originally entered the competition and that has been slowly whittled down over the weeks. Between eliminations and injury exits, you might have forgotten some of the stars who took part in this year’s edition.
But what was the order of eliminations on Strictly Come Dancing in series 23? Here’s all you need to know.
Remind yourself who the three finalists are this year. Plus learn who is the current favourite.
