Viewers will have the chance to phone or text in their votes, and they can also vote online a set number of times.

Hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will tell viewers what time voting closes for counting on Saturday night.

What will happen in the Strictly 2022 final?

There are four couples taking part in the final - Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal, Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, and Fleur East and Vito Coppola.

Each couple gets the chance to dance three routines - a previous dance that the judges have picked for them to try again, their favourite dance from the series, and a brand new show dance.

Although the judges will score each performance, Saturday night's result is based on viewer votes alone for the only time in the series.

Strictly Come Dancing's 2022 final airs on Saturday at 7.05pm on BBC One.
