It's child's play: Susanna Reid takes tips from her children ahead of Strictly Come Dancing final... and she's STILL the favourite to win

Strictly Come Dancing favourite Susanna Reid has admitted taking choreography tips from her children ahead of Saturday's final.
The BBC presenter is one of four female finalists along with former Coronation Street actress Natalie Gumede, singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and model Abbey Clancy.
She said her three sons had helped by pretending to be judges and score her routines with dance partner Kevin Clifton.

Reid said: 'They've loved Strictly. They always watch, they're always commenting on it, they're telling me about my dancing, they talk to Kevin about the choreography.'
Clifton, who is in his first year as one of the show's main dancers, said: 'They've come in and looked at the routine and gone 'You know it just needs a bit of a highlight there in the middle' and I've looked at it and gone 'Do you know what, I think you're right', and actually changed some bits of the choreography.'
Reid said she was delighted that her sons, two of whom take dance lessons, had a role model in Clifton.

She said: 'I think it's really good for them to see me doing something completely different and for them to meet Kevin and be inspired by a man who dances which is for my three boys a fantastic role model for them.'
Reid is favourite to win the show with William Hill offering odds on her taking the glitter ball trophy of 6-5. She said: 'It's an all female final but of course those four women are dancing with four exceptional, brilliant, inspiring male professional dancers and I hope that it's inspired everybody, boys, girls, adults and whatever their ability to dance'.
