The Strictly cuties: Before the sparkles and sequins, four fresh-faced finalists... Can't decide who to vote for in tonightâ€™s Strictly final? Well, while you mull it over, let us indulge you with these photos of the contestants from years gone by. Natalie Gumede was beaming as she posed for photographs during rehearsals yesterday but it seems she can also show some attitude â€" if this photo of her aged two is anything to go by. Indeed Miss Gumede, who has gone from being the odds-on favourite to the 10-1 outsider after being forced into the dance-off round last week, has criticised dressmakers on the show for making her costumes too revealing. Girl power: Natalie Gumede, Susanna Reid, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Abbey Clancy at rehearsals yesterday for the first all-female Strictly final The former Coronation Street star, 29, revealed this week how she has had to ask to have her frocks lengthened throughout her time in the competition. Miss Gumede said: â€˜I turn up on Friday and see how much material is in the dress and nine times out of ten I get some added. I prefer to be modest.â€™ BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid looks like a model pupil aged three, and yesterday she was the 5-4 favourite to win the Strictly title according to one bookmaker in the first-ever all-female final. This was despite Tory MP Deborah Dunleavy, who sparked controversy after tweeting about how she wanted to â€˜slapâ€™ Miss Reid, receiving growing support on the social networking site. Messaging in support of her â€˜flippantâ€™ remarks, one Strictly viewer tweeted: â€˜Anyone wanting to give Susanna Reid a slap gets my vote.â€™ Mother of three Miss Reid, 43, this week hit back at Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman who said his colleagues needed their â€˜heads examinedâ€™ for appearing on Strictly. Twinkletoes: Natalie Gumede aged two (left) and Susanna Reid aged three Sweet! A baby-faced Sophie Ellis-Bextor, left, and Abbey Clancy as a teen model, right Miss Reid suggested he should consider the competition in the future. â€˜I would say to anybody who is offered the chance to go on Strictly that they should grab it with both hands because it is the most fantastic, intense, enjoyable, wonderful experience,â€™ she said. Gazing into the camera as she chews inquisitively on her finger, Sophie Ellis-Bextor betrays none of the glacial poise she has shown performing on the show. The 34-year-old daughter of former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis, who now has three young sons of her own with her musician husband Richard Jones, is currently on odds of 10-3 to win. Meanwhile Abbey Clancy, pictured here as an aspiring model of 15 or 16, is now Miss Reidâ€™s closest rival after her odds her slashed to 9-4 from 4-1, The 27-year-old mother of one who is married to former England footballer Peter Crouch, said the 13 weeks of Strictly training has been â€˜intenseâ€™ but said she would miss her dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec. She said: â€˜Iâ€™ll miss Strictly so much. Itâ€™s not real-life, is it, really? Youâ€™re learning how to dance so many hours a day and completely covered from head-to-toe in diamonds and tan every weekend and dancing with one of the best ballroom dancers in the world â€" itâ€™s fabulous!â€™ â€˜But Iâ€™ve got no regrets and have loved every minute.â€™
