The stars of Strictly Come Dancing were pictured leaving a London hotel early on Saturday morning ahead of tonight's grand final.
It's the last time they will head to rehearsals as the 2024 BBC series comes to an end later and whoever is crowned this year's winner will get to lift the famous glitterball. Though it was dark as it the sun hadn't come up yet, the celebrities and their pro partners seemed on fine form.
Comedian Chris McCausland - who is the show's first blind contestant and favourite to win - threw his hands in the air alongside pro partner Dianne Buswell and whopped as they left the building.
While a fresh-faced Tasha Ghouri, who is partnered with Strictly pro Aljaž Skorjanec, was spotted in her fluffy slippers on the way to final rehearsals which she paired with a cream hoodie and long brown coat.
Other couples who have made it to the Strictly final include former JLS turned TV presenter JB Gill and pro dancer Lauren Oakley. JB was first put with Amy Dowden and they did really well in this year's competition until Amy had to drop out of the show due to a foot injury last month.
Lauren has since stepped in to take Amy's place and her and JB have made it all the way to the final.
Looking a bit unrecognisable with her glasses on, Lauren cut a casual look in a grey tracksuit, Dr Martens and a black puffer coat. Lauren, Chris and Dianne were joined by pro dancer Nancy Xu for a cheeky snap.
Head Judge Shirley Ballas was also papped leaving the hotel in a car. She couldn't contain her excitement as she flashed both hands in peace signs as she was whisked off to get ready for tonight's show.
The four finalists are Chris and Dianne, JB and Lauren, Tasha and Aljaž and Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola. Each couple will dance three times, including a spectacular showdance, in a bid to be crowned champion.
Then the entire cast from Strictly 2024 will return to the dancefloor as they perform a dance as singer RAYE takes to the stage for a special performance.
Other Strictly 2024 stars spotted heading to the studio included Shayne Ward, Sam Quek, Jamie Borthwick, Tom Dean and Wynne Evans. While Toyah and Montell Douglas were also pictured.
If Chris and Dianne win tonight he will make history as the show's first ever blind winner. It comes after EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis became the show's first deaf winner when she was partnered with Giovanni Pernice back in 2021.
The pair are set to dance the judge's pick - their couple's choice dance to Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon. They will also do a show dance to You Get What You Give by New Radicals and perform their favourite dance, a waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers.
JB and Lauren will dance their iconic Viennese Waltz to Let’s Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins as their judge's pick dance tonight, along with a samba and a Motown Medley show dance.
Tasha and Aljaž will strut their stuff to What About Us by P!nk as their judge's choice, as well as a show dance to Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman. And their couple's favourite is their American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi.
While Sarah and Vito will perform their judge's pick American Smooth to Proud by Heather Small, the song made famous through Sarah's character in Miranda. The pair will also do a show dance to Cabaret by Metropole Orkest and their couple's favourite is their Cha Cha to Like A Prayer by Madonna.
*The Strictly Come Dancing final airs on BBC1 tonight from 6pm
