We're down to the last four couples, as they prepare to go head to head for the final time. Who will lift this year's Glitterball trophy?
Scores: 9, 10,10,10 – a total of 39 for Helen and Gorka. Motsi thought Fleur smashed it – she’s replaced Danny Mac and is now the queen of Samba. Craig is furious because he couldn’t find anything wrong with Fleur’s Samba, and the crowd goes wild. Craig thought it was a bit rocky and underwhelming and it did go a little bit wrong, but it was classy and classic. First recap of the night! Anton acknowledges the details and the incredible transitions in and out of the lifts.
Fleur East, Hamza Yassin, Helen Skelton and Molly Rainford dance it out to win the glitterball in the Strictly 2022 final.
Don't forget it's only the public vote to win it tonight. The hot couple are doing the samba as per the judge's request. "I'm delighted' said Anton who said the singer had improved since the first time around.
