The three remaining Strictly Come Dancing contestants have revealed their couples' choice dances ahead of the final.

Emma Barton and Anton Du Beke will do a Viennese Waltz to Send In The Clowns from episode 4, Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowler will dance the jive to You Can’t Stop The Beat from episode 11 and Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse are doing a samba to La Vida Es Un Carnaval from the first episode.

The revelation was made in Friday night’s episode of It Takes Two.

In Saturday’s show each of the three finalists will perform three routines – one chosen by the judges, one showdance and one of the couples’ previous favourites from the series.

Emma and Anton’s judges pick is the Charleston to Thoroughly Modern Millie and their showdance will be to Let Yourself Go by Irving Berlin.
