Russell Grant to make dance return in 'Strictly' final

Russell Grant will take centre stage in a pro routine in the Strictly Come Dancing final, it has been revealed.

The TV astrologer, who was one of the most popular contestants on this year's show, will perform with pros Artem Chigvintsev, Robin Windsor and Anton du Beke, reports The Sun.

Grant will apparently be lifted aloft by the trio, before later being swung around by fellow returning celebrities Rory Bremner and Robbie Savage.

The '80s TV star's previous highlights on the show included an entrance from inside a giant shell in week one and being shot out of a canon during the Wembley Arena special.

Harry Judd, Jason Donovan and Chelsee Healey are the three finalists battling it out this weekend at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

Strictly: The Final: launches at 7pm on BBC One on Saturday (December 17).
