Strictly Come Dancing final 2023: Which couples are through?

The dancing competition known for providing all the glitz and glamour will end next week with one couple scooping the glitterball trophy.

Annabel Croft has become the latest celebrity to be eliminated from the show following two dances and a dance-off performance in last night’s semi-final episode.

The former tennis player and her professional dance partner Johannes Radebe found themselves in the bottom two but their dance-off performance wasn’t enough to secure them a place in the 2023 final.

Here are the Strictly Come Dancing finalists for 2023.

Which couples are in the Strictly Come Dancing 2023 final?

Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell found themselves in the dance-off with Croft and Radebe in semi-final week but managed to do enough to get through to this year’s final.

Craig Revel-Horwood voted to save Croft but the other three judges, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and head judge Shirley Ballas, opted to save Brazier.

Ballas said: “The semi-final 2023, I thought both couples were absolutely extraordinary, I felt that both couples lifted their performance, I thought there was technical qualities on both sides, improvements galore, but again one tiny mistake coming out of a pivot turn and therefore my decision would be to save Bobby and Dianne.”
