Strictly Come Dancing 2023 final songs and dances revealed as three remaining couples each take on three routines in a bid to lift the glitterball

The final songs and dances of Strictly Come Dancing 2023 have been revealed, with the remaining three couples performing three routines each.

With Annabel Croft becoming the tenth celebrity to be eliminated, Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola and Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin will compete alongside their partners to lift the glitterball trophy.

And they certainly did their job, as they not only had the judges' picks and their favorite dances from the series to perform, but also their epic show dances.

As usual, the judges can rate the performances, but their scores will not count in the final, which will be broadcast on Saturday.

Instead, it's the viewers' votes that will determine the winner, so the contestants will no doubt be pulling out all the stops to impress.

It comes as Craig Revel Horwood admitted he didn't think Layton would make it to the final of Strictly Come Dancing, despite his incredible dancing skills.

The judge, known for his harsh criticism and poker face, finally brought out his 10 paddle for Layton and his dance partner Nikita's Paso Doble performance in the quarterfinals.

And the judge, 58, has now revealed that when he first saw Layton, 29, dancing he didn't think he would go all the way because of his previous West End experience.

Craig insisted that 'usually great dancers don't do well on the show', following a backlash that saw Layton hit by vicious trolling and accused of having an 'advantage' due to his dancing background.

Speaking to Claudia Winkleman on her Radio 2 show on Saturday alongside fellow judge Motsi Mabuse, the pair reflected on who impressed during the launch show.

Speaking of Layton, Craig said: “I could tell he could dance, but he was wearing heels. I remember thinking, “Wow, I think he's good, but will he make it to the finals? Probably not.”

“Usually good dancers don't do well in the show.”

While Layton, who starred in the West End hit Everybody's Talking About Jamie, wowed the judges with his incredible dancing skills and scored a perfect 40 in the semi-final for his Charleston, he was also subjected to vicious trolling.

Over the course of the competition, critics have criticized the dancer for his West End career background.

Although Layton has wowed the judges with his incredible dancing skills, he has also been subjected to cruel trolling during the competition due to his dancing background.

But earlier in the competition, Layton hit back at the “hateful” trolls, as he urged harsh critics to 'use their energy to shower love', instead of writing hurtful comments.

Sharing photos of his salsa performance, he wrote, “Instead of coming at me with hateful comments, use your energy to shower your favorite celeb with love. We're pretty sure it will make us all feel a lot better!'

He also hinted this week that the hate could have been caused by his multiracial background and the fact that he is gay.

The artist said the level of trolling was 'shocking' and admitted that while Strictly has featured same-sex couples in the past, he is the first 'queer' contestant to fully express their 'flamboyant' personality on the dance floor.
