Danny John-Jules makes Strictly return after skipping exit chat

From Digital Spy

Danny John-Jules might have (somewhat awkwardly) skipped his Strictly Come Dancing exit interview, but the Red Dwarf legend will be back for this week's grand final.

Ahead of Saturday's (December 15) series closer, Danny and the rest of the Strictly gang have returned to the dancefloor to get ready for one more "epic" performance.

Despite leaving his professional partner Amy Dowden to talk through their exit alone on It Takes Two – sparking whispers of a fall-out – it seems all is well between the pair now.

There's nothing like a bit of glitter to ease tensions, eh?

Eagle-eyed fans will notice that it's not just Danny who's made a conspicuous Strictly comeback – Seann Walsh is also back for one last hurrah this weekend.

And Katya Jones' husband Neil is in the mix, too.

The gang will be back together, whether they want to be or not, for a special group performance to mark the end of this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

Battling it out in the ballroom for the chance to win the coveted Glitterball Trophy are Ashley Roberts, Stacey Dooley, Faye Tozer and Joe Sugg.

All of the finalists will be dancing one Judges' Pick, a Showdance and one Favourite Dance, and you can see which couples are dancing to what right here.

The Strictly Come Dancing grand final airs this Saturday (December 15) at 6.30pm on BBC One.
