Overview
- All four judges chose to save Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin in Musicals Week’s results show, sending Cope and Katya Jones out after a closely fought dance-off.
- Viewers flooded social media with anger, calling the result a “travesty” and a “robbery,” while a PR expert cited growing fatigue with contestants perceived to have prior training.
- Katya said she was heartbroken and would need time to heal, then broke down on BBC Two’s It Takes Two as Cope thanked her for helping him “fall in love with life again.”
- Shirley Ballas appeared near tears on air, and fans questioned factors such as performance order, voting patterns and the consistency of how contestants’ experience is judged.
- Amber and Nikita advance to the semi-finals alongside Balvinder Sopal, George Clarke and Karen Carney, with two new routines per couple and musical guests announced for the weekend shows.
