Overview

• Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon survived a second consecutive dance-off against Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova after reprising their paso doble.
• The judges split their decisions, with Motsi Mabuse saving Sopal and Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke backing Robshaw before Revel Horwood chose Sopal under the new rule.
• La Voix avoided the bottom two despite a week-low 14, including a 2 from Ballas, prompting viewers to post 'fix' complaints on social media.
• Saturday’s scores put Sopal on 28 for her paso doble and Robshaw on 24 for his salsa to María, while La Voix’s Cha Cha Cha trailed the field.
• Robshaw shared a post-exit apology to Bychkova citing 'sleepless nights' early on, and Sopal called it a 'tough week' as the show moves to Icons Week on October 25–26.
