What time is the Strictly Come Dancing final on TV?
Not long left until we discover who will be lifting that Glitterball Trophy for series 17…
It’s safe to say it’s been a hugely eventful series of Strictly Come Dancing– with injuries and shock exits making 2019 one of the most unpredictable years yet (seriously, not even our stats piece could have predicted the outcome).
But for all the surprises, there’s been some real frontrunners that found themselves become water-cooler moments – no-one will be forgetting Kelvin Fletcher’s eyebrow-raising hip-action from week one in a hurry.
So when will we finally find out who will be grabbing life by the Glitterballs for 2019? Here’s all you need to know.

What’s the format of the Strictly Come Dancing final?
Our remaining three dancers (it’d usually be four, but after Will Bayley was forced to withdraw from the competition following an injury, we now have a slightly smaller final) now have to perform three dances each.
The dances are comprised of recreating a dance from earlier in the series that they enjoyed, a “showdance” of their choice and a brand new dance.
For the final, the judges scores are purely advisory – the winner is decided only by votes from viewers.
