Fans were quick to comment on the post, with one writing: "You look amazing," while another wrote: "I'm so excited for the finals, can hardly wait!" A third added: "You look joyfully gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finals!"

The post also confirmed that Carrie would be taking part in the final show, although it is unlikely that her co-judge Derek Hough will be, given that he tested positive for Covid last week.
