What does the Strictly Come Dancing 2024 winner get? Prize money explained - and Glitterball Trophy

• One Strictly Come Dancing star will lift the Glitterball Trophy
• It comes after 13 weeks of competition.
• But is the trophy the only prize the winner will get?

The winner of Strictly Come Dancing for 2024 will be revealed very soon. The final of the BBC competition airs tonight (December 14) and the result will be announced in the episode.

After 13 weeks of intense competition and demanding routines, just four couples are left standing. The bookies have named a clear favourite - and offered odds on the rest of the finalists ahead of voting.

But as we prepare to wave goodbye to another series of Strictly Come Dancing tonight as another star has their name etched into the history of the show, you might be wondering what awaits the winner. Especially as rival autumn reality show I’m a Celeb was revealed to have no cash prize.

What does the winner of Strictly Come Dancing get?

It has been reported in recent years, including by Hello! Magazine in 2023, that there is a cash prize for the winner. The celebs reportedly get a flat fee of around £25,000 for participating in the show, with the money upping to £40,000 if they make it past week four and £60,000 for reaching the quarter-finals.

But the winner will walk away with an even bigger prize of £100,000, according to reports. And of course they will also get to lift the Glitterball Trophy.

Why is the trophy called Glitterball?

It is rather simple, the Glitterball Trophy gets its signature name from the fact it looks like a glitter ball (also called a disco ball or mirror ball). It is circular and sparkly in a way that invokes being on a dance floor.
