BBC Strictly's Tasha Ghouri moved to tears over unexpected family ...

This Saturday night, Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts will be glued to their screens as one contestant follows in Ellie Leach's dance steps to become the latest victor of the BBC sensation. After a series of dazzling performances and elegant moves, either JB Gill, Tasha Ghouri, Sarah Hadland or Chris McCausland will lift the coveted trophy.

Despite JLS's JB Gill topping the leaderboard with an impressive score of 79 from his semi-final dances, it's comedian Chris McCausland who is tipped by many to win.

Bookmakers BetMGM have placed Chris at the forefront with staggering odds. Sam Behar, UK Director at BetMGM, commented: "The betting suggests it would be a huge shock if Chris McCausland didn't take home the Glitterball Trophy.

""He might not have scored the highest with the judges in the semi-finals but that hasn't perturbed punters as the comedian is just 1/18 to emerge victorious. JB Gill is 10/1, Sarah Hadland 20/1 and Tasha Ghouri 25/1 – but the betting does suggest it's a one-horse race."

In a touching moment during the final, after delivering a flawless performance, Tasha Ghouri received a heartwarming surprise from host Claudia Winkleman. Awarded a perfect score of 40, Claudia inquired: "I have to ask you about your family because they've supported you from all over the world, tell me about them."

Tasha warmly responded: "My dad, my mum, Andrew, everyone. Thank you for supporting me. I'm so lucky to have such a great circle around me who truly love me, uplift me, keep me strong, keep me going and keep me motivated. This is for them."

During the show, Claudia Winkleman prompted contestant Tasha to share a few words about her brother. In response, Tasha admitted missing her sibling, believing him to be in Australia, she said: "My brother is just so supportive, I really miss him. He can't be here today, but I miss him a lot."

However, Claudia unveiled a heartwarming surprise as she revealed that Tasha's brother was actually present in the studio. Beaming with joy, Claudia announced: "He wanted to watch you dance tonight, here he is."

Leaving Tasha astonished, she covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief. Tasha's brother made his way through the studio, sharing a heartfelt embrace with his sister, who couldn't contain her tears amid the unexpected reunion, reports the Mirror.

Overwhelmed with emotion, her brother admired her, remarking, "She's just, you can't describe it. Watching your little sister dance and following your dreams. You're just so special."

Ahead of the programme's grand finale, Tasha opened up to the BBC regarding the opportunity to vie for the coveted Glitterball trophy.

Expressing her sheer delight, she reflected, "It is going to be lovely to finish off the whole journey with Aljaz in the final. Every week has been so special, but to be able to be in the final and experience it with Aljaz is so magical and amazing. One thousand percent this is a career highlight it's the biggest highlight of my whole life."

Will Tasha be the person to lift the Glitterball this year?
