One Strictly Come Dancing finalist could cause an 'upset' for Chris McCausland, despite him being the favourite to win the hit dance show this year alongside his professional dance partner Dianne Buswell. Alongside Chris and Dianne, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec will compete in the 2024 final the BBC One dance contest on Saturday night (December 14). Ahead of the final, it was revealed what each couple will be dancing and which songs to in the last episode of the series as they take on their three routines each - their favourite dance of the series, the judge’s pick and a spectacular show dance.

(We All Shine On) by John Lennon and a Waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers. And after capturing the hearts of Strictly fans, the pair remain favourites to be crowned champions this year. Comedian Chris, who is the show's first-ever blind contestant, remains the overwhelming favourite at 1/20, but it's then JB who leads the chasing pack at 14/1 to cause an upset and win the Glitterball Trophy.
Elsewhere, Sarah Hadland is now 25/1 to win the series, while Tasha Ghouri will head into Saturday night as the rank outsider at 33/1. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "One name has completely dominated the betting from Week One, and Chris will head into this weekend's final as one of shortest-priced contestants we've ever seen. If anyone if to cause an upset, the odds suggest it'll be JB.
" Ahead of the final, it's been confirmed that JB and Lauren will perform a Show Dance to a Motown Medley, a Viennese Waltz to Let’s Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins and a Samba to Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes..
