Watch Strictly Come Dancing Final 2024: Preview
It’s showtime! For three months we’ve watched as fifteen celebrities performed their socks off every Saturday. There have been tears, stress fractures, and jaw-dropping triumphs. Now the BBC dance competition reaches its thrilling conclusion as our four finalists hit the dancefloor one last time. Find out who takes home the Glitterball trophy with our guide below, which explains how to watch Strictly Come Dancing 2024 final and 100% free on BBC iPlayer with a VPN.
The twinkly-eyed Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly are back to bid farewell to a truly remarkable season. We’ve seen 10s across the board as our celebrity contestants and their pro partners have consistently wowed the judges with their passion, creative choreography, and, of course, their fundamentals. And, for once, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke unanimously agree that this year's contestants have been some of the best in the show’s history.
That was evident in last week’s smoking semi-final. JLS singer JB Gill and Lauren Oakley scored a perfect 40 for their sensational samba to Basement Jaxx song “Red Alert,” something that hasn't been achieved by a male contestant in 18 years. Tasha Ghouri and fan-favorite Aljaž Škorjanec maintained their hold on the leaderboard’s top spot with their breathtaking routine to “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” while Chris McCausland – who lost his sight at 22 – and partner Dianne Buswell were overcome with emotion after delivering a magical waltz set to Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters.”
After the judges opted to eliminate Pete Wicks, the show's four finalists were confirmed. JB and Lauren, Chris and Dianne, Tasha and Aljaž, and Sarah Hadland and Vito Copolla will now go toe-to-toe in Strictly’s grand final as they perform three dances each. Some anticipated highlights? JB and Lauren's funkadelic Motown medley showdance, for starters, and a special musical performance by Brit award-winning songwriter RAYE.
Who will be crowned this year’s cha-cha-cha champions? There’s only one way to find out. Scroll on below where we explain how to watch the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 final online for free wherever you are tonight!
