Soap fans have the power
Soap fans will once again play a crucial role in deciding the winner of this year's Strictly Come Dancing, as EastEnders' Bobby Brazier and former Coronation Street actress Ellie Leach battle it out in the final. Soap devotees have proven their loyalty and voting power in the past, with six out of the show's 20 winners coming from popular dramas.
Bobby calls on EastEnders fans
Bobby Brazier has called on his loyal EastEnders fanbase to help him secure the Glitterball trophy. The 20-year-old actor, who only joined the soap last year, has already won over viewers with his performances and is hoping they will continue to support him in the final.
Ellie seeks support from Corrie fans
Former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach is relying on her Corrie fans to vote for her in the final. The 22-year-old actress, who left the soap earlier this year after a decade on the show, has consistently impressed the judges and topped the leaderboard on several occasions.
Soap stars' track record
Soap actors have a strong track record on Strictly, with previous winners including Jill Halfpenny, Kara Tointon, Rose Ayling Ellis, Tom Chambers, Joe McFadden, and Kelvin Fletcher. Soap fans have shown their dedication by voting in large numbers, and tonight's final is expected to be no different.
Who will come out on top?
It's anyone's game in the Strictly final. Both Bobby and Ellie are aware of the power of soap fans, but ultimately, it will come down to who impresses the viewers and the judges on the night. Will Bobby's natural dance ability or Ellie's consistent high scores secure them the Glitterball trophy?
Don't forget about Layton
While all the attention may be on Bobby and Ellie, fans of Layton Williams should not be forgotten. The actor, paired with Nikita Kuzmin, has faced criticism for his professional dance background but has still managed to make it to the final. Will he be able to surprise everyone and take home the trophy?
