Overview
- Five couples remain: Amber Davies, Balvinder Sopal, George Clarke, Karen Carney and Lewis Cope.
- The leaderboard has Amber and Nikita on 40, with George and Alexis, Balvinder and Julian, and Lewis and Katya tied on 35, and Karen and Carlos on 34.
- Balvinder achieved her highest score of the series with 35 after previously surviving five dance-offs, drawing emotional praise from the judges.
- Musicals Week opened with an unscored five-minute relay and aired in a shorter, later slot; the results show is scheduled for 7:45pm on Sunday.
- Bookmaker odds and pundit tips highlight Balvinder—and potentially Amber—as at risk, while unverified social-media spoilers circulated ahead of the official result; the final is set for December 20 and is expected to feature three couples after two injury withdrawals.
