It's the Strictly final! After all those weeks of rehearsing, performing and the fear of the dance off, three celebs have made it to the final - and Louise Redknapp just proved she deserves her place in there with an amazing cha cha cha.

For the first dance, each of the finalists were asked to perform one of their previous dances from the series, as chosen by the judges. For Louise it was her Flashdance inspired cha cha to 'What A Feeling' in week 3.

While head judge Len Goodman noted this wasn't the dance she scored highest in, she was the winner of the Cha Cha Challenge, so the judges wanted to give her another shot at the dance in the final.

And after that performance, it's clear the cha cha is definitely her type of dance.

Bruno Tonioli launched straight into praise for the couple, saying: "It was like a flashback into the '80s with a feel good factor.

"The cha cha cha itself was actually extremely well placed, precise, clean, well executed, looking good, feeling great."

Craig loved the dance too, even commending Louise on her improvement in confidence too.

"I have to agree," he said. "The hip action has come on noticeably. Technically so much better."

Meanwhile, Darcey Bussell praised the singer, saying: "You fall into that style with such natural ease. It is a joy to watch."

The pair earned a final-worthy score of 38, with 10s from both Len and Bruno.

Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One.
