Has it been clarified if the judges votes count in next week's semi-final or not?

I take it only 1 goes making for a 4 couple final?

Thanks in advance

The judges' votes usually count for the semi-final. I don't remember there ever being a four couple final before so it's possible they'll remove another couple after the show dance in the final.

Yes the judges points count in the semi final. Thank goodness they do otherwise we would have had Lisa Fun Time Riley in the final.

Last year was a 4 couple final

Yes, I'd forgotten they started with four because they eliminated Dani after the showdance. I suspect it'll follow the exact same format as last year then.
