With not many names left to go it's now time to see who will dance alongside Ethan this festive season. Your partner in crime will be .....

Spoiler


Thank you random.org!

I got lucky with Oksana did I? sounds good to me!

I almost don't care if I finish bottom now but I will try my hardest to get Oksana on top (of the leaderboard)

Nice that we've got a same-sex couple, hope you do well Mitch & AJ. Good luck to all my rivals.

I'll have number 10 please I got a 10 already

You've now all chosen your dances for the main show . You'll find out what you've picked shortly and get a one off opportunity to change them if you're unhappy with them. But before that it's time to find out the second part to what you'll all be taking on in the main show as well as the next twist.........

As well as choosing a song choice for your allocated dance, the 12 of you will all enter into three teams of 4. Those teams as decided by (you guessed it) random.org are as follows........

Team 1

Ethan & Oksana
Callum & Katya
Queenie & Aljaz
Ross & Chloe


Team 2

Jess & Kevin
Mitch & AJ
Izzie & Gorka
Danny & Natalie


Team 3

Nick & Joanne
Chris & Oti
Riley & Karen
East & Janette


Although all 12 of you will compete individually and be voted for on an individual basis, the team exercise will give you the opportunity to gain some extra points in the public vote for both yourself and your team members.

After all taking on your individual dances, lines will then open for you to vote. After the lines have then closed, before the results take place, there will be a second performance that you will all take on. You'll find details of this second performance below . This is where the team effort comes into play.........

On top of the song choice you will all send in for your individual dance, you should also all choose a Sabotage Song. You'll be told of the dance style that you are to sabotage when you get your PMs later. This sabotaged routine will be assigned to a couple in one of the opposite teams. The idea is to choose the most awful song for the dance style. These will be ranked in a separate show and those rankings will then be averaged amongst each team meaning that for every member of the team that scores the highest will receive 2 extra points in the public vote. The team that finishes second will receive 1 extra public vote point for each member and the third placing team won't receive any. So you need to be choosing the worst choice possible so as not to risk giving away extra points to your opposing teams.

After this it will be revealed which SIX couples have made it into the Christmas Final. The six couples who don't make it through will no longer be eligible to lift the Christmas Glitter Ball, but their roles will not be over

Please note: Being a Christmas Special, at least one of either your main show song choice, or your sabotage song choice must be Christmas themed. The other can be Christmas themed or not. That's entirely your choice.

Now that's all explained I'll just summarise that all you are required to actually do is to send in two song choices. Individual PMs will be with you shortly

It won't be when you get your PM. I just have to explain it all prior so you know Im not changing the rules later to manipulate the outcome

He is a bit annoying but Kevin only dances with contenders so maybe a good omen?

Well that took ages . You all now have your individual PMs

Please remember to not reveal who you have been given to sabotage. (Reason for that will become obvious when the show takes place )

Deadline for your choices is Thursday 8th December at 10pm please

This is agonising. I was stupid enough to think I'd missed competing yesterday.

I am glad there is no staging, storytelling or costumes because I AM HOPELESS at those sort of things!

Glad you're looking forward to it

Damn, I won my first series off the back of my staging, but I had a lot more time back when I was a student! 😂

Staging and storytelling sounds ok and I bet I could think of some good outfits for Oksana but it's probably lots of work.

Saturday midday isn't great for me, I have a football match. Is it ok if I catch up later? Will the vote still be open at about 3, maybe 3.30?

Yep you don't need to be online . The lines will be open for a good while after that

Thanks, that's a relief. I will try to be online for the final if I can, it's even more fun when it's 'live' or it is when I'm a judge. Looking forward to the first show

Sabotage is a brilliant idea, if the song isn't too awful I'll have more chance of the final but the worse it is the funnier it'll be
