It's that time of year again, Christmas is just around the corner and the final couples are taking to the dancefloor one more time, fighting to be crowned the winner of Strictly Come Dancing.
This evening, millions will be tuning in across the country to see whether it will be George Clarke, Amber Davies or Karen Carney who gets their hands on the coveted Glitterball trophy.
And while the judges will be scoring each of their three chosen dances, it is the public vote that will decide the winner of Strictly 2025.
Here is all you need to know about how to vote and choose your winner this year.
How to vote in the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing Final
Strictly Come Dancing bosses made a major change to this year's vote, with it being the first series where viewers will no longer be able to vote via calling in, with all voting done online.
The BBC said that phone voting is an "outdated system and also expensive to run".
A spokesman added: "Online voting has become the go-to choice for most viewers. In fact, the overwhelming majority of votes for the last Strictly series were cast online.
"And earlier this year, BT, the company that provided these phone services for the BBC, announced it would stop offering them in early 2025."
With phone voting no longer possible, here is how to vote online in the Strictly Come Dancing Final for 2025.
Before you vote, you will need to create a BBC account, which can be done on the BBC website. If you already have one, ensure you are logged in.
To vote, head to the Strictly Come Dancing homepage on the BBC website.
Another option is scanning the QR code that will appear during the show alongside voting information, which will take you directly to the voting page.
Once the vote is open, it will appear at the top of the Strictly homepage.
To vote for your winner, select your favourite dancing duo by clicking the plus (+) icon next to their name.
You can cast up to eight votes in total, either all at once or one at a time.
Once you have finished your voting, click submit.
Voting will open once each finalist has performed their second dance.
What does the winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2025 get?
In this year's final, it is George Clarke and Alexis Warr, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin and Karen Carney and Carlos Gu dancing to be crowned the winner.
According to a previous report from Hello!, the winner of Strictly reportedly receives a £100,000 prize.
Other reports suggest that celebrities taking part in the BBC dancing show earn a minimum of £25,000, which increases depending on how far they get.
It is rumoured that celebrities earn around an extra £40,000 after week four, and if they make it to the semi-finals, they can get a further £15,000.
