Tonight is the night – Strictly Come Dancing is set to crown its newest winner.
Following another memorable series, Saturday night’s show will see one of Fleur East, Molly Rainford, Helen Skelton or Hamza Yassin become the next dancefloor champion.
There’s everything to play for as each of the four reprises their best routines of the series as well as presenting their showdances – but what will all the hard work and cha-cha-challenges be for?
Here’s a reminder of what the winner gets to take home…
What does the winner of Strictly Come Dancing get?
First and foremost, the couple that wins Strictly Come Dancing gets to take home the Glitterball Trophy.
Or at least, a small replica of the glitzy one we see on TV.
Ore Oduba who scooped the trophy in 2016 told This Morning ‘I only got five seconds with it to lift it and then they just whisked it off.’
They do get a smaller trophy though, which he says he put ‘somewhere loud and proud but inside the house.’
When it comes to money, it’s been reported in the past that each celebrity is paid a cool £25,000 for signing up to the show – although this has never been officially confirmed.
If they make it to the end of October, they reportedly get another pay increase.
It’s understood that contestants get another bump as they hit the quarter-finals, and again if they reach the semi-finals.
It has been reported that the winners get £100,000 for their time on the show.

On top of these fees, any participants in the Strictly tour will be able to use their time in the line-up to bring home even more proverbial bacon.
Meanwhile, according to the Daily Mail, the professional dancers reportedly get paid a £50,000 flat-fee per series.
