Last week’s Strictly Come Dancing result was certainly a shocker as Emmerdale’s Lewis Cope was booted out of the competition after facing West End star Amber Davies in the bottom two, despite both of them being at the top of the leaderboard.
Joining Amber in the bid to make it to the all-important final are EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, who has set a record after surviving five dance-offs to make it this far, as well as Lioness Karen Carney, and social media star George Clarke, along with their professional partners. Much has been made of the surprising elimination, and at this point, it really could go either way.
This week will be an intense one as each couple will have to showcase two separate routines to impress judges Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas. Viewers will also be treated to performances from pop legend Kylie Minogue and 1990s legends Five, but it really is all to play for in the ballroom, so keep dancing!
George scores 39 after sizzling Samba
The YouTube star had the judges in stitches as he entertained the nation with his sparkly red outfit, and viewers at home were quick to praise him as well. One wrote on X: “Touch of the Elvis reaction to those hips I think George made a real impression his partner & he are so suited Could be in the final!” and another said: “Okay George, I was not expecting that!”
