Strictly Come Dancing's semi-final already kicked off with a twist this evening.
Usually, all the celebrities have a clean slate when each week starts off but this weekend, the four remaining pairs - Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe, Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell and Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin - all have some points on the board already, after they earned a string of points last week.
No one was eliminated last week as Nigel Harman and his professional dance partner Katya Jones were forced to pull out of the competition after Nigel was injured and left unable to dance at the last minute.
Tonight, Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell will perform two routines - the Paso Doble to 'Run Boy Run' by Woodkid and the Quickstep to 'Mack the Knife' by Bobby Darin. Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola will do a Cha-Cha to 'Mambo Italiano' for their routine as well as a Couples' Choice dance to a Dua Lipa medley.
Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe will do sa Salsa to 'You'll Be Mine (Party Time)' by Gloria Estefan and also perform a Viennese Waltz to the Slow Moving Millie version of 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want'. Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin will dance a Rumba to 'Lift Me Up' by Rihanna and the Charleston to 'Fit as a Fiddle' by Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.
