As the couples returned to the Elstree Studios ballroom, Karen Carney and Amber Davies both scored perfect 40s. A chaotic Instant Dance challenge shook up the leaderboard but who will fall before the quarter-final?
Wasn’t that a gloriously bonkers show? Anyone’s guess on the dance-off but Balvinder vs Alex is my prediction, probably with Alex to go.
That concludes Saturday’s liveblog but please feel free to carry on commenting, my sequin-spangled pals. Meet you right back here for the results show, which airs at 7.15pm Sunday on BBC1. I’ll spark up the blog at 6.45pm for build-up, so please rejoin me then. In the meantime, I’m @michaelhogan on Twitter/X and @michaelhogan100 pretty much everywhere else, so please feel free to give me a follow or say hi.
Thanks for watching along with me. See you tomorrow but in the meantime, you know full well what to do: keeeeeep dancing! Goodnight and stay safe.
Finally, JWT1976 says: “The instant dance took some getting used to. I’ll admit, but Bal was on fire in that. She just will not give in.”
