PHIL Barnett will soon find out if he's done enough to impress the public and be crowned the Strictly People's Champion for Comic Relief.

It's been a dream come true to be part of the show for the 54-year-old from Goldthorpe, who he is a massive fan of Strictly Come Dancing and has watched every show since it started.

Phil spent weeks rehearsing the American smooth foxtrot with partner Janette Manrara, which was shown on Wednesday, and the rollercoaster of sequins and sparkles come to an end on Friday when the winner is revealed live during Comic Relief.
