The three Strictly Come Dancing finalists are preparing to battle it out to be crowned this year’s winner.

Countryfile presenter Matt Baker is the favourite to take the glitterball trophy ahead of former EastEnder Kara Tointon and psychologist Pamela Stephenson.

Baker said on Friday an ambulance could be needed if his athletic final routine goes wrong.

The programme starts on BBC One at 1900 GMT, with the results show at 2105 GMT.

The presenter also paid tribute to his dancing partner Aliona Vilani, who has followed him around the country while he films Countryfile.

“We’ve trained from here to the Outer Hebrides in the most ridiculous situations,” he said.

“It has been an incredible challenge for us. We have come up against an enormous amount. We’ve trained in barns, in community halls, in tiny little car parks – everywhere to make it happen every Saturday.”

Stephenson, who described herself as “chronologically advanced” and is the oldest contestant to ever reach the final, said she was proud of her performances which have seen the judges give her perfect scores twice.

“It’s perfectly possible to be athletic and enjoy dancing at this age but I suppose I was one of the people who thought that couldn’t happen and I’m very glad to be proving it wrong,” she said.

For their final performances, Baker and Vilani will be performing to the Bodyrockers hit I Like The Way You Move, while Tointon and Artem Chigvintsev will dance to Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now and Stephenson and partner James Jordan are entering the floor to (I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life.
