Overview
- Four pairs remain — Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin, Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, George Clarke and Alexis Warr, and Karen Carney and Carlos Gu — with songs and two routines each confirmed for the December 13 semi-final.
- Viewers criticised the semi-final allocations after spotting that Balvinder Sopal and Karen Carney were both given a Waltz and a Salsa, prompting complaints the show is forcing a direct comparison.
- Davies addressed a "tough" week on It Takes Two, asked for kindness, and reminded audiences she joined at short notice as a replacement after Dani Dyer’s training injury.
- Ex-pro James Jordan defended Davies and argued the judges produced a flawed leaderboard with multiple ties that helped send top performers into the bottom two.
- Following their elimination, Katya Jones posted an emotional tribute calling Lewis Cope the best male contestant she has seen on the show, as Davies received a WhatsOnStage nomination that lifted her week.
