JAMIE & NINA!

Many congratulations to you. Just one more couple is definitely through and into the final, and that couple is...

RHIAN & DANIEL!

Congratulations to you on securing your place in the final!

That does mean that Mitch & Maria and Niall & Brianne will face us judges for that final place in the final.

The first judge to cast their vote is Connor. Who are you saving and why?

Connor's vote goes to Niall & Brianne which has swung them into an early lead. That could all change though.

The second vote goes to DEAN. Dean, who are you saving and why?

Dean has elected to save Mitch & Maria which means our couples are all square and the following votes couldn't be more important.

The next vote goes to me...

Tonight, I am going to have to save the couple who I believe we're stronger and that is Niall & Brianne. Sorry Mitch.

That pulls Niall & Brianne into a slight lead, with JAS' our next judge to vote. Who are you saving and why?

Nick, who would you have saved tonight?

I'd like everybody to give it up for....

As the final is bloody hard I would have sent through the better and more consistent couple which was Niall & Brianne

Well done to Mitch though, you've been bloody brilliant

It's been a real privilege to come back for my 20th time (I believe?) and to reach this far is incredible, I would have loved to make the final but I couldn't have lost to 3 better competitors, best of luck to all three of you

Thanks judges for saving me various times and thanks to Ash for hosting

Undoubtedly I'll be back next series (although with DOI ending, I doubt it'll be on ice)

MITCH & MARIA

What can I say? You always put so much into these shows, and bring so much personality to them that it's a massive shame to see you just pipped at the post for the final place in the Grand Final.

However, it's not all bad news, because you did get to Sabotage Round, which you seemed to really enjoy and certainly entertained the rest of us with, in your very unique way.

Well done on making it to the semi final, and I'm sorry that you couldn't quite make the final.

I do sometimes put effort into these shows


But my aim was always to make the sabotage round as I never have on twist & sequins/On Ice/Athon/Real Time, so making it and making it to the semi final is a fantastic achievement for me

Thanks for the flowers, they shall go on my cv

Massive commiserations to Mitch

But well done on a respectable 4th

Thanks Izzie for hosting the results in my place due to net issues

Congratulations to all 3 finalists

In the Grand Final you will all take on THREE routiines

Routine 1

I want you all to select your Favourite Routine of the series. This can be any routine you did from show 1 up until now. Like in the semi-final, you will need to make any improvements that you think might bump up the score from the last time. Make sure you explain in a sentence or two what changes you have made so the judges can see.

Routine 2

There is no theme for this routine, so it is your Freestyle/Showdance routine. You may pick any song choice you like. You must then submit an outfit choice for you and your partner based on your song choice. As well as this you will need to submit staging for the first time this series This doesn't mean choreography. Staging can be anything from the lighting in the studio, the lighting projected onto the ice, the decoration/colour scheme of the judges table, the studio, or the stage and any props that may be present on the ice. You may also use a prop in your routine (as with the real show, a table, a chair, an umbrella, whatever)

Routine 3

For the final routine, you will all dance to the classic "Bolero" music. So you do not need to choose music for this piece. Your task is to each design your own bolero outfit for you and your partner to skate the classic dance to.

I need your choices in by Thursday at 5pm latest please. You have a few hours extra as there are 3 routines for the final

Apologies for not sending any ranking or vote in. I got called into work at the last minute.

Commiserations Mitch., you've been a great competitor.

Well done Jamie, Rhian and Niall.

Very Well Done to Mith for making it this far, to be honest it would've been a shame if any of you went out as you were all as deserving as eachother to get to the final. And it was a shame to see you go but you have had a good journey this series with plenty of good performances to be proud of

Good Luck to the finalists and I hope you can deliver some performances that will receive top marks from me

You both deserve to be there! The semi-final was incredibly close, and could of gone anyway! Don't get too drunk celebrating tonight, go all out for the final!!

I thought this has been (since I have joined DS) your best series you have competed in, and am gutted you have gone! I would love to have seen your bolero outfit!

Commiserations, Mitch! You've done exceptionally well to get this far, and you should be proud.

But well done to Niall and Rhian - this is going to be one great final.

Oh, and thanks to everyone for voting me through.
