Overview
- Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin topped the night with 38 for a dramatic Paso Doble, ahead of Lewis Cope and Katya Jones on 37 and Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe on 35.
- Vicky Pattison and Kai Widdrington, and Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon, shared the bottom on 27 after a Jive and an American Smooth respectively, leaving both at risk before the results.
- George Clarke and Alexis Warr posted 29, yet bookmakers have shortened Clarke’s overall winning odds to 10/11, making him the clear favourite for the Glitterball.
- Betting markets highlight Balvinder Sopal as the likeliest next exit, reflecting concerns about public momentum despite recent improvements.
- Seven couples will advance to Blackpool through the combination of judges’ scores and the public vote, with the dance-off on Sunday deciding the final place.
