They all trained so hard in the hope of being crowned this year's king or queen of the dancefloor.
And despite being eliminated over the past few weeks, former Strictly Come Dancing contestants will have been delighted to be asked back to appear in the final - even if its just in a supporting role.
Fiesty property lawyer Nancy Dell'Olio and One Show presenter Alex Jones were among the celebrities pictured training hard yesterday for tonight's anticipated show.
Spin me around: Nancy Dell'Olio and partner Anton du Beke practice for a group dance at Pineapple Studios in Covent Garden, London, ahead of tomorrow's Strictly Come Dancing final
It will be take place at Blackpool's Tower Ballroom.
Nancy was captured being thrown upside down by her partner Anton du Beke in London's Pineapple Studios.
The 50-year-old showed she had retained her dancer figure, moving gracefully in a pair of black leather leggings and towering heels.

Attempting the cannonball again? Rory Bremner and Robbie Savage lift up stargazer Russell Grant during the group practice
Alex went for comfort over glamour in a grey jumper and skinny jeans but still opted for heels in a pair of chic boots.
Viewers will remember when stagazer Russell Grant 'shot' out of a cannonball before being eliminated.
And by the looks of yesterday's practice, he may be pulling a similar move.

Comedian Rory Bremner and footballer Robbie Savage were seen lifting him up into the air.
Recently eliminated Australian singer Holly Valance looked as though she will be bringing the sex factor to the final, as she wiggled her hips while off in a world of her own.
She then snuggled up to her hunky partner Artem Chigvintsev.
Stepping in time: Audley Harrison with his partner Natalie Lowe, Robbie Savage with his partner Ola Jordan and Rory Bremner with his partner Erin Boag

Boxer Audley Harrison may not be quite the twinkle toes but he showed he takes dancing seriously, concentrating hard with partner Natalie Lowe.
There was no sign of the three finalists and their partners - Jason Donovan, Chelsee Healey and Harry Judd.
McFly drummer Harry is this year's favourite to win.
But he isn't counting on it, saying this week: 'Chelsee and Jason are incredible so I will have to keep working hard.
'It will come down to who performs best on the night.'
If Waterloo Road's Chealsee wins, she will be the youngest winner in the show's history, at 23 years-old.
