What time is Strictly Come Dancing the results on tonight as finalists are revealed?

There's now less than a week to go until the Strictly Come Dancing 2021 final.

And it's not long until fans will find out who will be competing for the Glitterball trophy.

On Saturday night Rhys Stephenson, AJ Odudu, Rose Ayling-Ellis and John Whaite all performed twice in a bid to secure their place in the final week.

AJ and professional partner Kai Widdrington and Rose and her professional dancer Giovanni Pernice placed joint top of the leaderboard in the semi-final after both secured a perfect 40 and a score of 39 for their two routines.

At the halfway point, TV presenter AJ took the lead with her quickstep to Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman with her partner Kai Widdrington, which was awarded the top mark of 40.

EastEnders actress Rose and Giovanni received the perfect score for their Argentine tango to A Evaristo Carriego by Eduardo Rovira, which judge Craig Revel Horwood said belonged in the final.

For their second dance, AJ and Kai, who landed in the dance-off last week against BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker, performed a rumba to Show Me Heaven by Maria McKee – and received a score of 39 out of a possible 40.

While it was Rosie's first dance that received a 39 when she performed a waltz to How Long Will I Love You by pop star Ellie Goulding, the highest score for that dance of the season.

John Whaite and Johannes Radebe, Strictly’s first all-male pairing, placed third after scoring two 39s, one for their emotional couple’s choice routine to Adele’s Hometown Glory and the other for their jive to Higher Power by Coldplay.

CBBC host Rhys Stephenson and pro partner Nancy Xu came fourth after they received a score of 36 for their tango to Queen’s One Vision and 38 for their samba to It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera), sung by Michael Buble.

The results will be revealed on Sunday night (December 12) on BBC One at 7.20pm.

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present the final results show of the year, featuring a guest performance by Mabel and a special routine by the professional dancers.

The final three will be revealed following the last dreaded dance-off of the series.
