Overview
- Judges’ combined leaderboard: Karen Carney and Carlos Gu 78, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin 77, George Clarke and Alexis Warr 72, Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon 70.
- Amber received a perfect 40 for her Couple’s Choice after earlier scoring 37, while Karen posted twin 39s to top the two-dance semi-final.
- Betting markets have shifted to George as the frontrunner over Karen, with odds also signaling Balvinder as most vulnerable and Amber viewed as at risk.
- Balvinder has survived five dance-offs this series, a rare run that follows last week’s surprise elimination of Lewis Cope after a dance-off with Amber.
- Sunday’s results show features performances from Kylie Minogue and Five, as media attention also turns to Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman’s nearing on-air separation after 21 years.
