The two couples who will go 'head-to-head' in the Strictly Come Dancing final have been named - according to their body language. There are currently four celebrities and their professional dance partners left in the competition instead of the usual five.
The remaining couples were put straight through to the penultimate week of the BBC One dance contest following Nigel Harman's sudden exit from Strictly 2023 alongside his professional dance partner Katya Jones after he suffered a rib injury that saw him end up in A&E.
If a normal elimination had taken place, it would have meant only two couples would have made it to the upcoming grand final of Strictly 2023 on Saturday, December 16, due to the group already being a couple down after Amanda Abbington's exit due to 'personal reasons'.
