In Training: This week, Xand has the Jive. "It's very fast and flicky, and it's really hard keeping up, I'm too slow!" he says, "hopefully, fingers crossed, touch wood, everything goes well come Sunday.

Xand Van Tulleken & Anya Garnis- Jive to Tutti Frutti- Little Richard

Craig:
It was all a bit sloppy, darling. You started off way ahead and by the end you were out of breath and drooping. You seriosuly need to work on your stamina.

Karen: It wasn't the best Jive, Xand, it was a bit all over the place. However, you seem to have a spark of potential in you, you just need to get it out. I hope the public vote for you tonight, as I fear you may be in danger.

Len: Tutti Fruttis are tasty and sweet, and this dance, to be honest, wasn't either of those. You couldn't seem to find any timing, yet you still have rhythm. You just need to sort everything out.

Ian: It was rather meh, Xand. I think Anya really challenged you with the choreography, so I think for next week try dumb it down and make it a bit simpler.

Scores
Craig: 5
Karen: 6
Len: 6
Ian: 6
Total: 23


"I'm slightly disappointed, sorry Anya" apologises Xand.

Next up is Reeta Chakrabarti and Giovanni Pernice!

In Training: After last week's flop, Reeta is trying her best to do better. "It was rather crushing, the comments I got last week, so I am hoping they will be a tad nicer this week".

Reeta Chakrabarti & Giovanni Pernice- Tango to Pompeii- Bastille

Craig:
It was much better than last week, darling, but it still felt a bit off. You weren't sharp enough and you were very, well, shaky. You need to loosen up next time, if you're still here.

Karen: What an improvement, Reeta! Yes, there were a few issues, you need to be more sharp in your movements, but you're getting there, and I hope to see you improve as the competition goes on.

Len: Look, Reeta, it was like a blunt butter knife, not as sharp as it needs to be. You had some nice footwork, but thhe fram could be a lot better, same goes for almost everything out of hold.

Ian: It was rather average, I'm afraid, but still a ton better than last week. You faces could be a bit cringeworthy but I can slowly see you getting better and better.

Scores
Craig: 5
Karen: 6
Len: 5
Ian: 6
Total: 22


"I'm happy with that" says a satisfied Reeta.

Up next is Charlie Clapham & Natalie Lowe!

In Training: Charlie is hoping to continue the success of Week 1's Waltz with his Cha Cha Cha. "They're both very different dances, it's like being back at the very beginning again" he says.

Charlie Clapham & Natalie Lowe- Cha Cha Cha to Tears- Clean Bandit ft. Louisa Johnson

Craig:
It was very good, darling, you were fast, fun and free. It all worked and you already look like a proffessional! Great job!

Karen: Excellent work, Charlie, and brilliant choreography, Natalie! It was very good- almost to a professional standard! CHarlie, you will go a long way in this competition!

Len: Charlie, if you leave tonight, there will be tears, tears on the ground, tears on my pillow, you won't... Oh, sorry, I went off topic. Seriosuly, a great routine and the best Cha Cha Cha of the series so far.

Ian: Get in, Charlie! It was a very fun performance and it worked! Even if the song was sad everything else was so uplifting and I want to see it again! Not in the dance off, mind you, but in the final.

Scores
Craig: 8
Karen: 9
Len: 8
Ian: 9
Total: 34


Natalie jumps with joy.

Next up is Susie Dent & Pasha Kovalev!

In Training: "I was so annoyed with the Tango last week, it was all going perfect, but of course I got my heel caught in my dress which totally ruined everything, hopefully things go better this time!" says Susie.

Susie Dent & Pasha Kovalev- Foxtrot to It's A Beautiful Day- Michael Buble

Craig:
Rather disappointing, darling. You were really good last week at the Tango until the blip, but you didn't seem to get into the dance this time. You seemed a little bit lost. Sorry.

Karen: It was a tad lukewarm, Susie, and to be honest, rather boring. It didn't captivate or wow me at all, it was very "meh"

Len: It's like when you get a cookie and it's filled with raisins, very disappointing. Your frame was off, footwork somewhat decent, but you seemed very stiff. Not the Susie I remember from last week.

Ian: It wasn't all bad, Susie, just not very memorable. It seemed like you weren't enjoying it. Next week, if you're here, I want to see you go all out.

Scores
Craig: 5
Karen: 6
Len: 5
Ian: 6
Total: 22


Zoe pats Susie on the back.

Next up is Florence Welch & Gleb Savchenko!

In Training: "I was so so so so pleased with last week, the Waltz, and the judges seemed to like it too, which makes me happy" she says, "this week it's the Charleston, it's completely different, like I got amnesia and need to do everything again!"

Florence Welch & Gleb Savchenko- Charleston to Bills- LunchMoneyLewis

Craig:
Simply a-maz-ing, darling! Never have I ever seen anyone with a technique as good as yours! The swivel, timing, lifts, choreography, it was pure perfection!

Karen: You owned the stage! Nobody else should dance because that is the best Charleston I've ever, ever seen on this show!!

Len: You have officially created the wow dance for this series, it was pure perfection!! I can see you, no, I will see you do it again in the final!

Ian: Need I say anything? It was too good to be true!! You were even better than Gleb!! You looked professional, you were perfect, you were a-maz-ing!

Scores
Craig: 9
Karen: 9
Len: 9
Ian: 9
Total: 36


The entire studio goes nuts for Florence & Gleb.

Next up is Stephen & Edyta!
