Two dances they have already performed, one is the couple’s favourite they have chosen to dance again, and the other is the Judges’ pick. On top of this, they will perform a Showdance combining dances and steps they have learnt across the series.

Today, we can confirm two of the three dances. The Judges pick will be revealed on Saturday’s show.

Showdance
•Caroline and Pasha will be performing their Showdance to Beverly Knight’s version of ‘Angels’.
•Frankie and Kevin will be performing their Showdance to ‘Get Happy’ by Judy Garland.
•Mark and Karen will be performing their Showdance to ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ by Queen.
•Simon and Kristina will be performing their Showdance to ‘A Little Less Conversation’ by Elvis Presley.

All four finalists will perform the Judges' pick first and later their showdance. After this the finalist with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated at the beginning of the results show. Then the three remaining finalists will perform their favourite routine of the series.



Favourite dance
•Caroline and Pasha will be reliving their bazaar Charleston to 'Istanbul (Not Constantinople)' that they performed in Around the World Week.
•Frankie and Kevin will be reviving their West Side Story inspired Paso Doble that they first performed in Movie Week.
•Mark and Karen will be performing their Samba to ‘That’s The Way I Like It’ for a second time, they first performed this in Week Five.
•Simon and Kristina have chosen to perform their Argentine Tango to ‘Roxanne’ that they first performed in Blackpool.

Thanks for this.

My pleasure

Ooh ... Angels .. that could be beautiful. Get Happy is a lovely song too .. didn't Kimberley do a Quickstep to it? The Queen song is a mistake .. the band always murder them and I think they hate them too .. or maybe that's just Bohemian Rhapsody. A Little Less Conversation could go either way .. he'll be shaking that tush though

Thanks for the info x I await nervously the judges choices.

I heartily doubt the celebs chose their own music for the showdances which is a shame as that dance should be all about their personality. Frankie and Kevin have the best song and American Smooth style showdances tend to be vote-winners. I will be disappointed if Simon and Kristina don't do a foxtrot/quickstep style dance in the final but it looks like that will be possible. Going for a romantic/rumba style showdance might be Caroline's downfall. Mark's song is too bleedin' obvious.

Ohhh, I hope Frankie gets through to the final three, because I really want to see her Paso again!

Caroline's rumba was good I thought. I think she can bring the emotion to it .. in the right way. After Pasha's last two showdances .. Chelsee's in particular .. this is probably the right way to go. She still gets to be sassy and lifty in her Charleston.

Frankie and Kevin as Fred and Ginge dancing to Get Happy....

She really has it in the bag, hasn't she? I'd better go to the bookies and put some money on her now before it's too late.

I thought Caroline was the fav??

Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough did their showdance to "A Little Less Conversation" on Dancing with the Stars and it was amazing

Thank you, I think get happy sounds like a great one for a showdance.

Didn't Kara do don't stop me now?

Also I'm guessing Frankie won't be doing her tango as she couldn't be green before the showdance, the only way it could be done is after the interval.

In the Shrek-jive year they found a way of doing Pasha's make-up that wasn't as extreme as the original routine. However, I think the tango is too similar in atmosphere to the paso, even though they were Frankie's two best dances (maybe because they allowed her to show a bit of steeliness instead of tweeness).

Interesting.
Very interesting.
The judges choice dances could be the key to it now.
Could be a closer call than I thought.

I don't like these two at all Kevin was rubbish with susannah last year in the showdance natalie and artem got 40 for their showdance by doing a Fred and Ginger style dance with a mix of ballroom and Latin steps he is just copying what they did. Also mark and Karen are using the same music artem and kara used for their showdance can they not come up with new music for there own I'm sure they choose. Music when it's in bthe final for the showdance it's uptown celebs and a pros. Not the producers

I am happy with an upbeat showdance for Mark and Karen as I know it will incorporate the jive and perhaps the salsa.

Of ALL these dances, Simon has the BEST showdance song imo; followed by Frankie.
Frankie and Mark favorite dances are not good enough compared to Simon and Caroline IMO.
So Caroline and Simon choices are better here. A bit disappointed with Frankie favorite song choice...don't get me wrong,I liked it BUT I don't think it will fare that well against others; especially Caroline.

We'll see though......

She seems to be favourite here on DS and some other polls but then again, Pasha's partners have also been favourites here (I'm glad to be corrected) and they lost. I always thought it was Frankie's to lose since the beginning, which makes me a bit angry because it's going to be the second year in a row that a pretty face with the personality of a glass of water wins. Also, I cannot bear to see Pasha lose for the third time

Yeah I was hoping for tango too but the logistics are too tricky. I reckon the judges choice is probably their Vienesse Waltz. It'll be good to see her Paso now, since it was so early on in the competition

No, I'm thinking 3rd for Frankie. Caroline the winner and Simon 2nd.

When he said on ITT about it being a Fred and Ginger dance my thoughts were he saw how great Natalie and Artem's showdance went down and thought that's what he'd do this year.

Yes I remember that so good but this dance of hers was better:

Kevin is just a manipulative toad he lick the floor if that what it takes.

With a man I think it's much easier then for a woman.

There would be no way they could get her in a wig and even slightly green and then be ready in about ten minutes or so for the show dance, I think it's impossible, which is a shame as it was one of the stand out dances this year.

Well Frankie isn't exactly a latin queen, so it makes more sense going down that road. And she's a MUCH more competent dancer than Susanna, so he can give her a more upbeat ballroom style.

To be fair .. they all would. I'd lick the floor if it meant Pasha and Caroline would win .. even though it's had Mark and Karen's cheesey feet on it
