BBC Strictly Come Dancing 'winner' confirmed hours before quarter-final airs

The winner of BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2024 has been revealed - WEEKS out from the final. The BBC show's quarter final airs on Saturday (November 30), with Sarah Hadland, Tasha Ghouri, Montell Douglas and Chris McCausland among those still competing.

Ahead of tonight's instalment, some viewers think they already know who will win the show, with comedian Chris and Dianne Buswell, the Australian pro dancer, the current favourites to go all the way and lift the Glitterball Trophy.

One Strictly Come Dancing fan has typed on social media this week: "Chris will win because of his brilliant relationship and trust he has with Dianne, but also because he's improving every week raising awareness and he's enjoying himself.

"Win or lose it doesn't matter for them though." Another fan said: "Chris is my winner this year," as a third said: "I wonder if Chris will win this year?" And a fourth fan also chipped in and commented: "Chris will win the Glitterball."

The latest live episode of the 2024 season of Strictly Come Dancing has a musicals theme and will air on Saturday 30 November in front of a live studio audience in London. The new episode will air on BBC One at 7:05pm and will run for seventy minutes.

An official summary of the upcoming episode states: "The professionals open the show with a routine from Little Shop of Horrors, which can only mean one thing - it's musicals week. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present as the contestants take to the floor with performances inspired by the world of musical theatre, eager to make it through to the semi-final."

Once the last couple have performed, the voting lines will open giving viewers the chance to send their favourite couple through to the semi-finals. But for one couple, it will be the end of the road and they will be sent out of the ballroom for good.
