The grand final takes place on Saturday 15 December at 6:30pm on BBC One.
Joe Sugg‘s place in the final comes despite them receiving a low score of 29 from judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli.
In a post on Twitter yesterday, the YouTuber thanked fans for their support and said: “Regardless of our scores I enjoyed dancing the two dances with [Diane Buswell] so much and loved every second of it. Laaaav ya all.”

Joe and dance partner Dianne received a total of 59 points after their two dances, placing them second from last on the leaderboard.
The pair were the first to be announced as going through to the final, with television presenter Stacey Dooley being announced as the second contestant through to next week’s show.
Singer Faye Tozer was the third and final contestant through to the final, while musician Ashley Roberts and Paralympian Lauren Steadman faced each other in the dance-offs.
The judges later voted to save Ashley, with Lauren being the latest contestant to be eliminated.
Responding to the news of his place in the final, Joe said he is “absolutely speechless”.
“Thank you all so much for getting me and [Dianne] to the FINAL!!! I still can’t quite believe it.
“I am one happy chappy right now,” he said.
