BBC Strictly Come Dancing a 'battle for second place' after fans' U-turn on star ahead of final

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Strictly Come Dancing's 2024 series is now just days away from coming to an end with the four finalists currently preparing for their last stint in the famous ballroom.

The final of the BBC One dance contest will take place this Saturday (December 14) and the couples who have made it through to the last week of the competition this year were recently confirmed following Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal's gutting exit in the semi-final last weekend.

As they became the eleventh couple to leave Strictly's 20th anniversary series on Sunday night (December 8), it meant that Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec are this year's finalists.
