LIVE: Strictly Come Dancing final latest updates

Love Island legend Amber Davies, 29, YouTuber George Clarke, 26, and footballer Karen Carney, 38, will battle it out on the ballroom in the Strictly Come Dancing final.

The celebrities are the last three standing as the series draws to a close tonight with the winner lifting the Glitterball Trophy.

EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal, 47, last week narrowly missed out on a place in the final after becoming the tenth star to be eliminated after losing to Amber in the dance-off.

Tonight will also see hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman bow out of Strictly after the hosts confirmed earlier this year they would be leaving the show at the end of the series. The pair had co-hosted together since 2014.
