And the judge with the casting vote in the dance-off this week is… Craig!
I feel like it’s going to be an intense one so best of luck to him with having that responsibility. Eeek!
The results show airs on BBC One at 7.15pm tomorrow night.

That’s all of the dances done! We just have a quick recap to come and then the voting will be open.
Leaderboard wise, things are tight. There are three celebrities – Graeme, Lacey and Will – tied in last place on 27.
At the top, it’s Cach with a phenomenal 39!

Have I mentioned that I love a Charleston? Considering they had to modify the steps due to Jaime’s injury, that was brilliant.
Here are the judges’ comments…
Craig: “I did love it, actually. The only thing I saw that was slightly off was your turns going upstage. Otherwise, it would have been almost perfect.”
Motsi: “I have so much respect. You are a courageous, strong woman and that was stunning.”
Shirley: “It was coordinated, it had some great dynamics. You threw caution to the wind, which I know Craig loves. The kinetic energy between the two of you was sensational.”
Anton: “I loved it. Great job, well done.”
And Jaime’s scores are in… 8, 8, 8 and 9 – a total of 33.

It’s time for our final dance! Jaime and Carlos are closing the show.
Jaime’s had a tough series, hasn’t she? After three dance-offs, she was unable to perform last week due to injury and it’s fab to see her back.
Now, if there’s a dance made for Jaime I think it could be the one she’s performing tonight: a Charleston. And it’s set to “I Can’t Do It Alone” Chicago, a truly inspired choice.

Will’s scores are in. He’s received a 6, 7, 7 and 7 – a total of 27.

The capeology! The drama! The eyeliner! Will brought a new energy there and I’m living for it.
Here are the judges’ comments…
Shirley: “It’s a marching dance and you did march. some good oval shapes. I loved your beginning with the cape. Generally, I think you’re one of our consistent dancers.”
Anton: “I quite enjoy a march. I would have liked a bit more shaping through the body. When you got rid of the cape, you lost the shaping. Concentrate on adding more layers to the dancing.”
Craig: “The shaping was a big problem actually. It lost its Spanish quality, it was a bit up and down and that’s why it looked plonky.”
Motsi: “We’ve had a few numbers where you are the happy guy, and that was a different dance that needed a different you. I just think if you comimt slightly more to the character, you’d have got it.”

It’s time for our second paso of the night!
It’s Will and Dianne’s turn to perform theirs to “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat.

Don’t they look amazing!

I loved that. But did the judges?
Anton: “That was a thing of beauty. I like the performance enormously. But that looked like an American Smooth to me. There was a lot gapping and your frame was breaking down a little too much.”
Craig: “It wasn’t a Foxtrot so I don’t know how we’re meant to judge it. You could have saved this for an American Smooth.”
Viot is defending himself! “It says 30% Foxtrot and there was,” he says.
Motsi: “In the start, I felt you hold back a little bit but I can feel you opening up. When it came to the Foxtrot, I saw you close a little bit.”
Shirley: “You are one of the most musical ladies we have in this competition. Everything you do, you do well. I like Vito that you said you take responsibility. This could have been a freestyle in the final, that’s how good it was.”
