Strictly Come Dancing will crown its 2020 champion this weekend, with the dances for Saturday’s (19 December) episode already having been revealed.

Following a nail-bitingly tense semi-final, HRVY, Bill Bailey, Maisie Smith and Jamie Laing will go head to head this weekend as they perform three routines apiece.

Among these are two dances from earlier in the season – one chosen by the couple, one chosen by the Strictly judges – and the Showdance.

Social media star and singer HRVY will be repeating his Jive and his American Smooth to “One (Singular Sensation)” from A Chorus Line. His Showdance will be to “Boogie Wonderland”.

Bill Bailey will be looking back at some of his earliest dances in the final, recreating his Street/Commercial routine to “Rapper’s Delight” by The Sugarhill Gang and his Doctor Doolittle-inspired Quickstep. He will dance to Queen’s “The Show Must Go On” in his Showdance.

For EastEnders actor Maisie Smith, it’s her Samba to Gloria Estefan’s “Conga” and the Quickstep that we’ll be seeing again. She’ll be paying homage to the festive season in her Showdance, which will be to “We Need a Little Christmas” by Idina Menzel.

Having made it to the semi-final after surviving four dance-offs, Made in Chelsea’s Jamie Laing will be fittingly dancing to “I’m Still Standing” for his Showdance. He’ll also be bringing back his Movie Week Charleston to “Zero to Hero” from Hercules and his Street/Commercial routine.

Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 19 December at 6pm on BBC One.
