Head judge Shirley said: 'What a way to open the final of Strictly 2022. Motsi said: There is a lot of pressure in the final, you did choose one of the most difficult dances to dance.

Judges scores don’t count #strictly." #Strictly." The singer, 35, received widespread praise from the judges for the colourful and lively performance. The 39-year-old received standing ovations from Motsi and Shirley for the slick and fast dance. Wildlife cameraman and presenter Hazma opened the show on Saturday with his professional partner Jowita with a lively and energetic performance of the judges’ pick routine of the salsa to Ecuador by Sash! Strictly Come Dancing fans were quick to call out a 'pointless' element of the show as they tuned into the live final.

Helen Skelton has her eyes on the Strictly Come Dancing glitterball but regardless of a win, a lucrative BBC deal could be on the way.

[turbulent time at home](https://metro.co.uk/2022/12/02/strictlys-helen-skelton-now-remembers-who-she-is-following-divorce-17871298/) and now it looks like she’ll certainly have something to celebrate.

They join Molly Rainford and Fleur East in battling it out for that famous glitterball trophy.

A score of 39 (up from 34). A perfect score of 40 (up from 39). The only negative was East’s ghastly Christmas tree decoration frock, otherwise this was a sizzling sensation. Mabuse dared to compare it with Danny Mac’s all-time-great samba (danced with her sister Oti!). Du Beke (channelling Len Goodman even more than usual) said it was “as smooth as a Werther’s Original”. Neither has landed in the dance-off throughout the entire series, indicating massive audience support, and both are repeating much-loved routines (including Yassin’s [salsa](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/strictly-come-dancing-2022-week-four-live-fleur-east-does-series/) and Skelton’s Fosse-styled [Couple’s Choice](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/strictly-come-dancing-2022-musicals-week-helen-skelton-does/)) in this final. Craig Revel Horwood wanted more control in Yassin’s free arm (boo) but it was smooth as silk. But most importantly, and even more so in this fab-u-lous encore, through all the twisting armography, side-by-side sections, and of course those mega lifts, the performance was utterly seamless. A score of 39 (again). It does seem a shame to sideline ballroom to this degree – let’s just hope we get the odd glimmer in the showdances amidst those lifts and tricks. Those three dances are the judges’ pick of a previous routine, the couple’s favourite number, and the all-important showdance. But remember: the scores are just for guidance; it's all down to viewer votes tonight.

The Strictly Come Dancing 2022 final got off to a dazzling start on Saturday as both Hamza and Molly came close to getting the perfect score with their ...

Hamza says: 'I am absolutely over the moon to be joining Strictly 2022. Fleur says: 'I'm equally nervous and thrilled to be part of this year's Strictly line up. While Motsi said: There is a lot of pressure in the final, you did choose one of the most difficult dances to dance. This is also my Mum's favourite show and she's had a really tough few years so I'm doing this is for her as well. The thing I'm most impressed with is your skill as a dancer... It went wrong and it just took a few seconds, which I know felt for you like a lifetime, to get going. Observation: Commenting on the dance, Shirley said: 'It was the first time that I saw a little panic. Said he improved it and thanked them for their hard work' Said he improved it and thanked them for their hard work.' And three, slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be.' While Anton fought back tears as he said: 'I get a little emotional watching you dance because it's like the clouds part and the sun comes out. He worked hard and he made it, and I'm so proud of you.'

The Strictly Come Dacing final is on BBC1. Our final four are Fleur East, Hamza Yassin, Helen Skelton and Molly Rainford – but who is lifting the famed ...

Molly and Carlos went for their rumba as their final routine, with Anton saying "this improved" saying she had a maturity that she was able to bring to the dance that gave it "another level". Motsi could barely get a word out as the audience continued to erupt into applause and Shirley described it as "everything we need in a final dance". Molly then upped the ante for her Prince-inspired showdance, bringing all kinds of saucy as Anton praised her "attitude" and for going down a different route. The first time they danced the routine, Hamza and Jowita just missed out on a perfect score, but this time they managed to impress all the judges. The pair's first dance was their leaderboard-topping quickstep, which originally scored 34. Craig, who has judged every single showdance in Strictly history called the routine "great" despite some errors. Hamza and Jowita chose their afrobeats-inspired Couple's Choice as their final routine, and it proved to be a crowd-pleaser all over again. Their scores ended up the same, however, with Craig highlighting how Hamza could have controlled his "free arm". Their first dance of the final was their salsa, which was first danced in the fourth week, nearly getting a perfect mark. The singer is paired with Italian professional Vito Coppola, for his first-ever series of Strictly, and they've had a rocky ride, landing in the bottom two on four occasions. Plenty of tens were dished out, and even the notoriously grumpy Craig had nice things to say to the finalists. Hamza has been dubbed as "Mr.

The CBBC presenter impressed judges during gruelling 13-week series with his style, grace and rhythm.

And this year it was After the three advisory scores were given by the judges, East and Vito Coppola were top of the leaderboard with 119 points, with Skelton and Gorka Márquez coming second on 116 points. It took two and a half hours and a total of 12 dances – not including the bonus ones from the Strictly professionals and the group dance from the Class of 2022 – but in the end, there could only be one winner.

Despite Helen and Gorka finishing the show in style, Hamza has just been announced as the winners for 2022. Helen and her dance partner Gorka Marquez chose ...

Helen said: “There’s a lot riding on this dance as it’s the one the judges picked.” Motsi said she picked the best song and could see the joy in it. The judges’ choice was up first and Helen and Gorka performed their jive from week seven. Shirley said the song said to her ‘I have set myself free’ but said there were a couple of small errors. Motsi then made everyone stand up to give Helen a round of applause before she gave her comments. Helen said: “You have made me remember who I am and that’s the biggest and kindest thing anyone can do for anybody.

Hamza Yassin, Fleur East, Helen Skelton and Molly Rainford all fought to land the glitterball trophy.

She ended up with the perfect score, 40 out of 40. Molly's been in the dreaded dance-off four times in this Strictly series, but she keeps bouncing back. None of the professional dancers in this year's final had won Strictly before. They were separated by six points after the judges' scores. Hamza and Jowita did a salsa to Ecuador by Sash! But the public vote decided who took the title for 2022.

After 13 weeks, this year's Strictly Come Dancing champion has finally been revealed...
