And the final order of business: it\u2019s Motsi who will have the casting vote after tomorrow\u2019s three-way dance-off. <\/p>\n

Tune in to the results show tomorrow at 7.10pm to find out who leaves the competition. <\/p>\n

Things are tight on the leaderboard. Lacey and Vito are at the top with 36. At the other end, Tabby and Mark have 25, as do Graeme and Lauren. <\/p>\n

As mentioned before, there\u2019s a terrifying twist this week as three couples will take part in the dance-off. <\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:26<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

She\u2019s received a 9, 9, 9 and another 9 – a total of 36! What a way to close the show. <\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:23<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Loved that. Those lifts! I screamed. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the judges thought… <\/p>\n

Craig: \u201cLacey, that was good.\u201d <\/p>\n

Motsi: \u201cWow. Best dance of the night. Congratulations.\u201d <\/p>\n

Shirley: \u201cYou shocked me, you had me on the front of my seat. Well done.\u201d <\/p>\n

Anton: \u201cClean, clear, timing was amazing. I thought that was great. Well done you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:21<\/p>\n

Closing the show, it\u2019s Lacey and Vito. And it\u2019s Charleston time! <\/p>\n

We’re at the point in the competition where the celebs can pull off impressive Charlestons, so I’m really excited for this. And the fact they\u2019re going last suggests it could be really special… <\/p>\n

The EastEnders star and Vito are performing it to Cheryl Cole’s “Crazy Stupid Love”. <\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:15<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The audience are on their feet and I\u2019m not surprised! <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the judges have said to Dani… <\/p>\n

Motsi: \u201cWow, guys. Just wow. That was your best dance. I couldn\u2019t look away. You were so strong.\u201d <\/p>\n

There\u2019s been some discussion about a mistake too – and it was Nikita who slipped! <\/p>\n

Shirley: \u201cDani, that was a huge improvement. I saw you see him slip and you went, \u2018I\u2019m going to make that ending, get up here\u2019. I love an independent woman.\u201d <\/p>\n

Anton: \u201cYour best dance yet. All in all, footwork was good, frame was good, flair was lovely. Great performance.\u201d <\/p>\n

Craig: \u201cI can\u2019t add much to that apart from \u2018brilliant\u2019.\u201d <\/p>\n

And the scores are… 8, 8, 8 and 8 – a total of 32.<\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:14<\/p>\n

Dani\u2019s VT was very cute. Her kids are so sweet! <\/p>\n

Anyway, the dancing. Loved it. The atmosphere and characterisation! Dani\u2019s A* in GCSE Drama really did pull through. Wow, wow, wow!<\/p>\n

\"\"(BBC)<\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:10<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There are just two performances to go! <\/p>\n

It’s Viennese Waltz time for Dani! It’ll be set to “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. <\/p>\n

I’ve loved seeing Dani’s fierce side (her lift-packed salsa last week was fab) but I feel like this is the sort of routine she’ll feel a lot more comfortable with. <\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:06<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Lawrence\u2019s marks are in. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s received a 6, 7, 6 and another 7 – a total of 26.<\/p>\n

Rachel McGrath31 October 2026 20:05<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the judges\u2019 comments for Lawrence… <\/p>\n

Anton: \u201cI enjoyed that performance. This is an improvement from your Waltz. So well done.\u201d <\/p>\n

Craig: \u201cI thought the frame was a little bit too open and you had some misplaced footwork. It was sharp, staccato and very entertaining.\u201d <\/p>\n

Motsi: \u201cWhen you start to dance, I\u2019m really into it. Then somewhere it just goes a bit blank. You have gained control, you can lead now, so I need the best effort from the beginning to the end.\u201d <\/p>\n

Shirley: \u201cYou are improving. Keep working on that frame. Details and footwork are important. Keep working because you are shining.\u201d <\/p>\n
