Strictly's 'best series ever' could see anyone crowned winner in final says Tess Daly

Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly revealed this series has been the best yet and that there is no way of predicting the winner as all the contestants are so good.

The presenter, 52, made an appearance on This Morning and was interviewed by her husband Vernon Kay and Rochelle Humes about the upcoming final this weekend.

Tess was not allowed to share her thoughts on who will win, but she did state it's very unpredictable as all of this year's dances have been incredible, with lots of high scores across the series.

She told the hosts: "It's been a brilliant series this series. Honestly, hand on heart, I can say this has been the highest standard of dancing we've seen.

"We've had more 10s than we've ever had before in seventeen years of Strictly… so it's going to be dramatic I think on Saturday because in the semi final there was one point between all three couples. They've all topped the leaderboard, it could be anyone!"

She added: "I genuinely don't know who [might win] none of us do, because they are so close in ability - AJ has had perfect scores of 40, but John has had more 39s than anyone else in the competition and on the night they are all dancing three times."

Tess also confirmed AJ Ododu will be returning for the final this weekend after taking time out due to an injury.

She said: "The judges are picking a dance they think they can improve upon… AJ will be doing her jive - all being well - and she danced that week 1, so judges think 13 weeks later, she's a better dancer now, so they are picking a dance they think they would have improved upon most this series…"

Tess' doting husband then commented on how Strictly has been in the family for so long - since they welcomed eldest daughter Phoebe 17 years ago.

She smiled and said: "I was pregnant with Phoebe, our eldest daughter in series one… and the great Bruce would spin me around with my little bump…and she's 17 now!"

The Strictly Come Dancing final will air on Saturday and the winner will lift the infamous Glitterball trophy, but who will it be?
