Strictly Come Dancing 2022 Final songs and dances revealed

The Strictly Come dancing 2022 final songs and dances have been revealed, with the remaining four couples set to take on three routines each.

With Will Mellor and Nancy Xu having narrowly missed out on a place in the grand final, Fleur East, Hamza Yassin, Helen Skelton and Molly Rainford will battle it out alongside their partners to lift that covered glitterball trophy.

And they’ve certainly got their work cut out as they’ve not only got the judges’ picks and their favourite dances of the series to perform, but their epic showdances too.

As per usual, the judges will be able to score the performances, but their score won’t count in the final – which airs on on Saturday December 17.

Instead, it will be the viewers votes that will determine the winner, so the contestants will no doubt be pulling out all the stops to impress.

Viewers will be in for a treat and they’ll get the chance to have another look at some memorable performances from this year’s series including Hamza and Jowita’s incredible Salsa to the song Ecuador.

And while three of the four couple’s will be performing their Couple’s Choice dances as their favourite routines, Molly and Carlos will perform their Rumba to All The Man That I Need once again.

Here’s the full list of the songs and dances for the 20th Strictly final.
