Strictly Come Dancing: The Final

7pm, BBC One

Brace yourselves: this one’s going to be a waltz of emotions. Our three finalist couples – energetic Karen Carney and Carlos Gu, flawless Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin, and a hip-shaking George Clarke and Alexis Warr – take to the floor one last time, with songs including a Texas classic and a Killers banger, before the winner lifts the glitterball trophy. But then it’s time for Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly to sign off. After more than a decade presenting the show together, there are bound to be some tears and shared memories for the send-off of all send-offs. Don’t panic, though, as they’ll be back for the special on Christmas Day. As they always say: “Keep dancing!” Hollie Richardson

Westlife 25: Live at the Royal Albert Hall

5.30pm, ITV1

They may be down to three members (Brian McFadden left; Mark Feehily is on a break due to health issues) but Westlife still sent the audience wild at this Royal Albert Hall concert. Expect all the hits, performed with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. HR

Blankety Blank Christmas Special

6.20pm, BBC One

This reboot of the gameshow is hard not to like in its low-rent way. No huge money prizes here and the losers still walk away with a Blankety Blank chequebook and pen. Bradley Walsh keeps things rolling with guests Charlotte Church, Motsi Mabuse, Jack Dee and Alex Brooker. Phil Harrison

Sandi Toksvig’s Great Riviera Rail Trip

8.10pm, Channel 4

Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel

9.10pm, BBC One

And on it spins … This week’s topics on the quiz include showtunes, boxing champions, spa treatments and Australian men. The contestants’ celebrity assistance comes from the likes of Tony Bellew, Judi Love and Jason Manford. Alexi Duggins

Madness: Radio 2 in Concert

9.10pm, BBC Two

Sharing more DNA with Ian Dury than their two-tone peers, but with a slapstick surrealism entirely their own, Madness occupy an almost unique place in pop, Nutty-dancing from music hall (House of Fun) to English romanticism (the Nick Drake-alike One Better Day) without ever losing their identity. Recorded last November at Broadcasting House in London, here’s a joyous raft of hits. Don’t watch that; watch this. Ali Catterall
