All contestants returned for the night, except for Amanda Abbington because she apparently couldn’t stand to be in the same room as Giovanni for even a minute. There were more tears, tens and a whole lot of “we’re going to be friends for life”, which felt more or less convincing depending on the pairing. Overall a worthy final, with everyone bringing their A-game.
Also Cher was there with her new Christmas bop that will undoubtedly make my 2024 Spotify Wrapped.
