Week 6
Join Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly at BBC Television Centre as the 11 remaining celebrities step up their game to stay in the competition. Each couple will dance either a sensational samba or a sophisticated American smooth, where they will be able to perform lifts without fear of reprimand from the judges. By the end of the show, the two couples with the lowest combined judges' score and viewers' votes will perform again in the dance-off. But who will the judges save this week and who will be bidding farewell to the competition for good? While the couples anxiously wait for the result, the world Latin champions Michael Malitowski and Joanna Leunis will perform a special rumba.
