After 13 weeks, 150 show-stopping dances and countless bottles of fake tan, it's time for the Strictly Come Dancing final.
Fifteen sequin-adorned celebrities have been whittled down to just four, with The Wanted's Jay McGuiness, former Coronation Street siren Georgia May Foote, BBC Proms presenter Katie Derham and Eastenders actress Kellie Bright, now battling it out for the coveted Glitterball Trophy.
With the stars continuously dazzling with jaw-dropping performances, and the top of the leader board changing each week, this could be the tightest contest yet.

Along with their professional partners - Aliona Vilani, Kevin Clifton, Giovanni Pernice and Anton Du Beke - the remaining four will try and dazzle audiences with three final dances.
One will be the couple's favourite routine from the series that they've chosen to dance again, while the other is the judges' pick.
On top of this, they will perform a showdance, combining moves and steps they have learnt during the programme.
According to the bookies, Jay is 1/4 on to win the competition, after consistently impressing the judging panel.
Georgia May is the second favourite at 6/1, according to Ladbrokes, while Kellie isn’t far behind, with odds of 8/1 being offered.
Katie is the least likely to win, and fans who fancy a flutter anyway can put a bet on at 25/1.
The Strictly Come Dancing final takes place on Saturday night and is split into two parts.
The first starts at 6.35pm on BBC One.
Later, the live results show will air the same night (not on Sundays as usual) at 9pm on BBC One.
Viewers can vote for their favourite in the usual way, by phone or online, with the numbers and details given out on screen during the live show.
The official BBC Strictly Twitter page shared their excitement ahead of the spectacular: 'One great weekend of TV dancing it's way to your screens! #strictly #winnersweekend.'
But, before glamorous hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman announce who will be waltzing off with the silver wear, FEMAIL analyses the finalists' fancy footwork.
JAY MCGUINESS
Former The Wanted singer Jay McGuiness is the last man standing in the competition and is hotly tipped to lift the Glitterball Trophy, alongside professional partner Aliona Vilani
Jay's standout moment - and possible the highlight of series 13 - was when he donned a tuxedo and performed a Pulp Fiction-inspired Jive
Jeremy Vine, Ainsley Harriott, Iwan Thomas... most of this year's male celebrities failed to set the dance floor alight.
But that all changed when Jay McGuiness Cha-chaed his way into the spotlight.
The former The Wanted singer is the last man standing in the competition and is hotly tipped to lift the Glitterball Trophy, alongside professional partner Aliona Vilani.
He's come a long way since week one when he appeared like a fraught bag of nerves.
If Jay does become the Strictly champion, Aliona will be the first professional to win the show more than once
Speaking to BBC Radio 2 recently, Jay revealed the roller coaster nature of the show: 'Just being physically, then mentally, and also emotionally exhausted. You just don’t feel like yourself.'
Twenty-five-year-old Jay has slowly endeared himself to viewers with his humble, incredibly polite and slightly awkward on-screen presence.
The pop hunk also sent the nation's hearts aflutter when he chopped off his curly perm in favour of a trendy quiff 'do.

Jay's standout moment - and possible the highlight of series 13 - was when he donned a tuxedo and performed a Pulp Fiction-inspired Jive.
As he didn't want to 'ruin the memory' of his performance, the musician has chosen not to do it for his final showdance and will instead boogie to the upbeat track, Can’t Feel My Face by The Weeknd.
If Jay does become the champion, Aliona will be the first professional to win the show more than once. She scooped the title back in 2011 with another boyband star, McFly's Harry Judd.
KELLIE BRIGHT
Eastenders actress Kellie Bright was the first celebrity to take to the floor and scored a very impressive 27 out of 30 for her Tango to The Kinks' You've Really Got Me.
Could it be third time lucky for professional dancer Kevin Clifton?
Having been a runner-up twice before with partners Susanna Reid and Frankie Bridge in 2013 and 2014, respectively, he's hoping to go all the way with Kellie Bright.
The 39-year-old Eastenders actress, who opened the series, has been a strong contender since the start of the competition.

Kellie, who plays Danny Dyer's wife Linda Carter in the BBC1 soap, has had to juggle her gruelling acting schedule with learning the routines.
She has taken on the challenge with gusto, with partner Kevin telling Daily Mirror, 'She has got limited hours because of her schedule. That hinders us. The other day we did about six hours.'
He added: 'Sometimes we get three or four hours. I think she is tired but she refuses to acknowledge it. She’s a bit of a workhorse. She is a machine.'
Despite finding herself in the dreaded dance-off twice, overall the judges have been full of praise for her technique.

Heading into the final Kellie must be in high spirits after topping the semi-final leaderboard with a score of 39 out of 40 for her American Smooth.
'That was a classic, darling,' judge Craig Revel Horwood told her. 'You danced it absolutely beautifully.'
Fingers crossed, Kevin.

As the competition draws to a close, Georgia told BBC Radio 2 that her emotions are all over the place. She said: 'I've cried every day. It's exciting! I just keep getting emotional because it's coming to an end. I keep dancing then bursting into tears.'
