The Strictly Come Dancing celebrities have been bringing their best moves to the ballroom for the past 13 weeks, and one couple will finally be crowned this weekend - but who do Mirror readers want to lift the coveted Glitterball?

Tennis professional Annabel Croft left the glitzy competition following a tense dance-off last Sunday, meaning Bobby Brazier, Ellie Leach, and Layton Williams will be battling it out for the top spot in Saturday’s final. Strictly has lifted the lid on the dances for the grand final, and viewers can expect some dazzling displays as the stars will be performing three routines each.

Ellie will take to the floor with a Showdance to Jennifer Lopez Megamix, Judges' Pick of Paso Doble to Insomnia by 2WEI, and their Favourite Dance of American Smooth to Ain't That A Kick In The Head by Robbie Williams. Keeping up with the impressive routines, Layton will perform a Showdance to Friend Like Me by Ne-Yo, Judges' Pick Quickstep to Puttin' On The Ritz by Gregory Porter, and Favourite Dance Tango to Tattoo by Loreen.

Meanwhile, Bobby’s Showdance will be to La La Land Medley, Judges' Pick is Samba to Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton, and Favourite Dance Couple's Choice to This Woman's Work by Maxwell. Ahead of the highly-anticipated final, we asked Mirror readers who they think will win the BBC One show, and 58 percent have voted for Ellie.

Around 12,551 people took part in our poll, and 7,215 are convinced the Coronation Street star will be crowned Queen of the ballroom, alongside her partner Vito Coppola. The couple have been receiving high praise on X, as one user penned: "If Ellie and Vito don’t win the glitter ball it’ll be a travesty."

Another gushed: "Woo hoo! So pleased Ellie is in the final. So well deserved, she's come a long way. All you have to do is win that glitter ball now." While a third shared: "Yes Ellie is in the final, my favourite to win."

Despite landing in the dreaded dance-off last weekend, Bobby is second favourite to win on our poll, scooping around 22 percent of votes. Posting on social media, one fan expressed: "I really think bobby should win, he'd be the youngest winner if he did." "Bobby Brazier has won peoples hearts just as his mum did on big brother. I hope the lad can win the show," wrote a second.

Following closely behind is Layton, who secured around 20 percent of votes. The Everybody's Talking About Jamie star has received huge support online, as one viewer stated: "I want layton and nikita to win strictly so bad, but for once i genuinely love everyone in the final and would be happy for any of them to win." A second posted: "Totally rooting for Layton and Nikita to win Strictly 2023."

Coral Bookmakers have revealed the latest predictions for this weekend’s final, and Ellie is favourite with odds at 1-10. Layton Williams is the 8-1 second favourite, while Bobby Brazier can be backed at 12-1. Coral's John Hill said: "Ellie Leach is the shortest-priced Strictly finalist in history. We make her long odds-on to lift the Glitterball Trophy this weekend."
