An epic showdown awaits this Sunday as the grand finale of Dancing with the Stars will see the final four couples give it their all on the dancefloor in one last bid to bring home the Glitterball trophy.
Each couple will dance two routines on the night as they battle it out for the winning title. Firstly, they will each perform a routine from a previous week, as requested by the judges.
This can be a routine that the judges feel the couple could improve on, or one that they would just love to see again.

Olympic gymnast Rhys McClenaghan will don the spandex once again to reprise his Movie Week role of Spider-Man , as he and his professional partner Laura Nolan dance Charleston to the iconic theme tune. The performance will be extra special for judge Loraine Barry, who missed the original performance, which scored the first two tens of the season, due to the passing of her mother.
Fellow Olympian, Taekwondo athlete, Jack Woolley and his pro-partner Alex Vladimirov will throw it back to week five with their Dedicated Dance to Jack’s friend Kellie Harrington. Their American Smooth to Grace by The Wolfe Tones was a stand-out moment for the couple and one that scored them their first tens of the season.
Mrs. Brown’s Boys actor, Danny O’Carroll and his partner Salome Chachua will dance the Charleston to Don’t Blame it On Me by Michael Bublé. The performance, which was danced all the way back in week two, scored the couple four nines and remains Danny’s highest-scoring dance to date.
Social media personality Kayleigh Trappe and her partner, Ervinas Merfeldas will dance their routine from Love Week back in week seven. The pair have high hopes that their Salsa to Christina Aguilera’s Let There Be Love will recapture the judges’ adoration a second time round.
Each couple's second routine will be a ‘Showdance’ – a freestyle performance that allows them to combine different dance styles in order to showcase the creativity, skills and storytelling abilities they each developed throughout their Dancing with the Stars journey.
Rhys and Laura will dance to Beautiful Things by Benson Boone, Jack and Alex will dance to Years & Years’ version of Lady Gaga’s anthem The Edge of Glory , Danny and Salome will dance to Rock This Party by Bob Sinclair, while Kayleigh and Ervinas will dance to the R3hab remix of Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams.
