One of the strongest ever years of Strictly Come Dancing is coming to a close this weekend, with the three remaining celebs competing for the Glitterball trophy.
John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington, and Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice will take to the dancefloor in the last episode of the series.
Judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton DuBeke have the unenviable job of picking the winner, and all of the remaining stars have proved their worth in the weeks leading up to Saturday’s show.
They take to the ballroom for the last time this weekend, after Rhys Stephenson narrowly missed out on a place in the finale on Sunday.
But what are the latest odds ahead of the final? Here’s everything you need to know.
Who will win Strictly?
Rose and Giovanni are the bookies’ favourite to win the series with Ladbrokes tipping them 1/6.
AJ and Kai are tipped to land second place at 10/1 with John rated as an outsider at 14/1.
Jessica O’Reilly of Ladbrokes said: ‘Rose and Giovanni look home and hosed as the 2021 Strictly champions as far as the odds are concerned.’
The celebs will perform in the Strictly final on Saturday, with the episode beginning at 7pm.
Presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will return to host the programme.
It comes after Strictly finalist John hit back after suffering cruel trolling online, slamming viewers who called same-sex pairing ‘box-ticking and fitting an agenda’.
The former Bake Off star is teamed up with professional partner Johannes, and the pair made show history as the first all-male couple.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
