The three Strictly Come Dancing finalists and their partners got a good look at the trophy they all want to win - but were too superstitious to touch it.
They posed with the glitterball at BBC Television Centre in west London during a break from the final round of rehearsals before tonight's final.
A show insider said: "None of the contestants would touch the trophy due to ongoing Strictly superstition that anyone who's touched it before the final hasn't won."
Matt Baker is hot favourite to win the BBC1 ballroom show ahead of Kara Tointon and Pamela Stephenson.
