Motsi Mabuse chooses to save…
Balvinder and Julian, saying “their musicality and rhythm was better”.
Verdict time
Let’s hear from the panel whose decision counts. They all scored both dances the same last night – sixes from Craig, sevens from the rest – so we’re talking about tight margins.
Remember One True Voice, the winning boyband from Popstars: The Rivals? And their debut single Sacred Trust? Me neither. Ahem.
Vicky takes her turn
Vicky Pattison and her pro partner Kai Widdrington now have another go at their jive to Sound of the Underground by Girls Aloud. The judges said last night that her weight got too far back, while she needed to work on her standing leg and retraction.
It scored 27 points, the same as Balvinder. All about the details and improvements now.
Balvinder goes first in dance-off
Balvinder Sopal and her pro partner Julian Caillon reprise their American smooth to My Guy by Mary Wells. The judges said last night that it was a little cautious in hold and she needs to work on her upper half. It scored 27 points, the same as Vicky, so this could be a close call. Can Balvinder raise her game and hope Vicky doesn’t?
He’s like a Pearly King with mumps.
That is quite some coat that Mr Murs is wearing. And not in a good way.
Olly Murs runs this town
This town being Borehamwood in Herts, presumably. Musical interlude now from Olly Murs, performing Run This Town – his recent ska-inspired single, co-written by Preston from The Ordinary Boys. Yep, him of Celebrity Big Brother showmance with Chantelle fame.
Choreographic accompaniment is provided by Amy Dowden, Luba Mushtuk, Michelle Tsiakkas and Nancy Xu #justicefornancy (I’m going to keep this hashtag going until it catches on and you can’t stop me).
George and Alexis are dancing a Blackpool salsa to Bob Sinclar and Cutee B, via C&C Music Factory. SPICY.
Karen and Carlos are dancing a paso doble in Blackpool to the Old Spice song (yes, I know it’s not called that). THE MARK OF A MAN.
Which means Karen and George are safe
The last two pairs mop their brows and progress north to Blackpool.
Neither of them wants to eliminate each other, sweetly. But sadly, they will have to.
Balvinder faces Vicky in the dance-off
Again, no great surprise. Balvinder Sopal and her pro partner Julian Caillon are in the dance-off for the fourth time.
Vicky Pattison in dance-off for first time
Well, she was joint bottom of the scoreboard so perhaps’s that’s no surprise. Vicky Pattison and her pro partner Kai Widdrington are in their first dance-off. But who will they be up against?
Crunch time again
The dreaded red light is back to do its dastardly thing. Let’s find out who else will be heading up the M6 – and who might suffer hard shoulder heartbreak.
