In the annual Tower Ballroom extravaganza, the injury withdrawal of La Voix meant no dance-off or elimination. She received a fond farewell, and former finalists returned to perform. The remaining six couples now progress to the 10th live show at Elstree Studios.
Back in familiar surroundings, the couples will face the all-new Instant Dance challenge in addition to their usual routines, aiming to make it through to Musicals Week. The show airs next Saturday at 6.35pm on BBC1.
Viewers expressed mixed feelings about the Instant Dance challenge. Some anticipate an 'enjoyable hot mess', while others predict 'brilliant or absolute carnage'. The challenge requires couples to perform a dance with minimal preparation, which could lead to choreographic chaos.
Fans also shared their thoughts on the departing La Voix, praising her entertainment value and the care shown by her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec. Many expressed hope to see more of her on television in the future.
Meanwhile, speculation continues about which contestant might be the BBC's next big thing, with George being mentioned as a potential candidate due to his social media following. The competition remains wide open as the couples head back to Elstree.
