For their showdance, George and Alexis chose Human by The Killers, a track that allows dramatic storytelling and bold choreography.
Former Love Island contestant Amber Davies completes the final lineup with partner Nikita Kuzmin. Amber selected her Jive to Proud Mary as her favourite dance from the series. Meanwhile, the judges chose a Paso Doble to Dream On, adding extra intensity to her schedule. For their showdance, Amber and Nikita will perform to Rain On Me by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, promising energy and spectacle. Amber has joked about the physical demands of the final but says she feels prepared.
