Here is the result in plain text:
After weeks of intense competition, the Strictly Come Dancing finalists are primed to take to the dance floor one last time. Four celebrities are vying to get their hands on the glitterball trophy, in the show’s 20th anniversary year: Chris McCausland, JB Gill, Sarah Hadland and Tasha Ghouri.
Comedian McCausland, who is Strictly’s first blind contestant, has emerged as the bookmakers’ favourite to win after impressing both audiences and judges.
Ahead of the final, McCausland said training had been “relentless”, but that he had also found he had “a lot more resilience and determination” than he knew.
“It’s been exhausting, and it’s been the scariest thing I’ve ever done, but I think it’s certainly been the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” he said.
Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola are also in the running for the glitterball trophy. Hadland, 53, has won praise during the series for her strong messages about women believing in themselves.
Tasha Ghouri, 26, and Aljaž Škorjanec will also enter the final in a strong position. Ghouri is Strictly’s second deaf contestant, three years after Rose Ayling-Ellis won the contest.
Ghouri said her time on Strictly had been “an absolute dream, especially bedazzling my cochlear implant”.
