What time is the Strictly final on tonight?

The Strictly Come Dancing 2018 final has a start time of 6.30pm on BBC One.

The final of Strictly will run for two and a half hours and will end at 9pm.

Ashley, Faye, Joe or Stacey will be announced as the winner and lift the Glitterball Trophy about 10 minutes before the end of the episode if last year’s timings are anything to go by.

Unlike previous years, none of the contestants will be eliminated half-way through tonight’s competition.

WHAT SONGS AND DANCES ARE THE CONTESTANTS DOING IN THE STRICTLY FINAL?

The official BBC synopsis gives us more information of what to expect from tonight’s Strictly final.

The summary reads: “Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman host the final of the pro-celebrity contest.

“Ashley and Pasha Kovalev, Faye and Giovanni Pernice, Joe and Dianne Buswell, and Stacey and Kevin Clifton are the remaining couples and they must all rise to three challenges – a routine of their own choosing, one set by the judges and finally a show dance.

“However, while Shirley Ballas, Dame Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood will be reviewing their efforts, only viewers’ votes will count to determine the winner. Michael Buble provides the music.”

Buble should be performing around 8.35-40pm if the timings are the same as last year when Ed Sheeran sang at 8.38pm.

WHO ARE THE STRICTLY COME DANCING 2018 FINALISTS?

Who will win the Strictly final?

The overwhelming bookies’ favourite is Stacey Dooley to win Strictly Come Dancing 2018.

Betfred and Coral are offering odds of 4/7 that the BBC Three documentary journalist will lift the Glitterball Trophy with partner Kevin Clifton.

This is a probability of over 63% that Dooley will win tonight.

Harry Aitkenhead of Coral said: “In our eyes Stacey has one hand on the trophy already.

WHO LEFT STRICTLY COME DANCING LAST WEEK?

“The public have been on her side throughout the series and she’s backed that up with some splendid displays on the dance floor which leaves her as the odds on favourite to win.”

Second favourite to win is Joe Sugg at 9/4, followed by Faye Tozer at 11/1 and Ashley Roberts at 50/1.

However, anything can happen in the Strictly Come Dancing, so fans will have to tune in from the start time to see what will happen.

Strictly Come Dancing concludes tonight at 6.30pm on BBC One
