Ellie and Vito win Strictly Come Dancing 2023
After 13 weeks of glitz, glamour and impressive routines, Strictly Come Dancing has come to an end for another year. On Saturday night fans of the BBC dance show watched as the remaining three contestants battled it out for the championship.
During the finale, viewers saw Coronation Street’s Ellie Leach, actor Layton Williams and EastEnders star Bobby Brazier take to the dancefloor one last time. However, the stakes were higher than ever as each couple had to dance three routines.
Ellie, Layton and Bobby were tasked with performing a show dance, a judge’s choice routine and their favourite dance from the series. From an American Smooth, a fast-paced Quickstep and an emotional couple’s choice, it was a finale to remember.
Along with the incredible dances from the finalists, fans were treated to a spectacular performance from pop sensation Cher. The cast of series 21 also returned to the dancefloor for one last group number.
However, the curtains have been drawn for yet another year as the champion has been named. Express.co.uk has everything you need to know about the Strictly Come Dancing finale.
