Unfortunately the many ties on the leaderboard have counted against you and you will be facing one of your fellow couples in tonight's bottom two. There's still every chance that the judges will vote to save you though!
Back to our saved couples though, and our next couples through are...
Despite their position at the bottom of the leaderboard, Hetti and Gleb have performed the great escape, with just one automatic place left for our two remaining couples...
Shirley Manson and Kevin Clifton, David Beckham and Otille Mabuse...
Both of you were tied on 20 marks, just like Nicola and Tristan, the couple one of you will be facing in the bottom two. Which one of you proved to fare slightly better with the voters though?
Against the odds, Shirley and Kevin have managed to avoid their second dance off in a row leaving David and Otille to face Nicola and Tristan in the dance off. I think even Ross will be quite surprised with this turn of events, but over to the judges we go!
That means that by 3-1, David Beckham and Otille Mabuse are saved meaning that we lose...
NICOLA ROBERTS & TRISTAN MACMANUS
Two red-headed singers in a row, I'm starting to take offence at this gingerism! After Hetti and Gleb landed themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard by such a distance, Andrew probably wasn't anticipating that it would be this member of his team walking away tonight. However, it was close, and as I said to Danny, you have the benefit of focussing more time and energy on your remaining two couples!

Mentors are allowed to choose any of the traditional 10 dances for their couples (so, no AS, AT, Salsa or Charleston), and should choose the dance they feel their celebrity would be best at, along with an explanation of why they chose that dance for them (max. 100 words). Suitable explanations include why the performance style would suit them, why the technique would suit them, or any relevant skills/training they have. Along with the dance and the 100 word explanation, mentors should send in a suitable song for the dance (obviously).
As a little bonus, each of the 4 judges is to pick their favourite routine (no conferring!) of the 12, and let Izzie know which one it is - this/these couples will receive a 3 vote advantage for each judges nomination (so we could have 4 couples with a 3 vote advantage, or 1 couple with a 12 vote advantage, or any other combination).
Please choose a dance your couples haven't already done. Deadline midday Monday.

vs.
David Beckham and Otille Mabuse
First up casting their vote, it's AMY. Amy, who are you saving and why?
Ross & Danny, I'm just gonna have to eliminate the couple which I've scored lower which is sadly David & Otille.
Best of luck.
Thanks for getting in before you had to go Nick.
So this is the first week that you've chosen your own songs? Therefore I have to go for the song that I preferred, which was for David & Otile
NATHAN, who would you like to save and why?
I am going to save
David and Otlile

And then we'll be ousted as judge and host.

Nope, they couldn't oust us!
*chains self to judging table, and Izzie to the hostess stand, and we both have megaphones shouting 'We shall not be moved!'*
