Following that performance with their Foxtrot to 'Green Christmas' by Barenaked Ladies, it is of course, Ross & Chloe
![]() Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z9oLxfnC_4 East: 7 Mitch: 10 Nick: 10 Nick: Really loved the song, felt like a classic Foxtrot song and can imagine lots of nice choreography and a nice set up with it. It was an original choice and enjoyable to listen to. You'll be on Santa's good list. That leaves the pair with an outstanding 27 points out of a possible 30 ![]() |

Taking to the floor next with a Tango to 'Hazy Shade Of Winter' by The Bangles. Welcome to our next set of finalists, Danny & Natalie
![]() Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxrwImCJCqk Mitch: 9 Nick: 9 Riley: 10 Riley: WOW! You really went for that, and I absolutely loved it! That was fantastic and best so far in my opinion Barely far from the top with a score of 28 as we reach the mid point of our individual routines ![]() |

Our fifth couple will dance the Rumba to 'Cry' by Rihanna. Please welcome, Ethan & Oksana
![]() Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r07n_oqPSEo East: 10 Mitch: 8 Riley: 9 Mitch: Me and Sharon the Puppet really enjoyed this routine, infact it made Sharon cry, it was saucy, sensual and sexy, and if anybody knows anything about sauciness and sexiness it's Sharon The Puppet Sharon the Puppet would like to take this opportunity to offer discreet classes on sauciness and sexiness outside of the crucible at competitive prices, all ages welcome. Another total of 27 for the pair means it's all to play for still in this final ![]() [Due to strict advertising laws, Sharon the Puppet will not be asked to make an appearance at the after party] |

CHRISTMAS LEADER BOARD
1. Izzie (IzzieStar) & Gorka - 30 2. Danny (Damahepa) & Natalie - 28 3=Chris (captain_cherub) & Oti - 27 3=Ethan (EthanE) & Oksana - 27 3=Queenie (dancing.queen) & Aljaz - 27 3=Ross (Monsieur23) & Chloe - 27 So there is how the leader board sits after the first performance. But how could the Fusion round impact the voting? ![]() And with every finalist scoring a 10 it really does show how opinions differ. It will soon be up to you guys to decide the outcome ![]() But first it's time for the Fusions ![]() |

Next up with their fusion to 'First Time In Forever' from Frozen, it's Danny & Natalie and Ross & Chloe
![]() Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVm2e9zJB_M Fusion: Quickstep/Rumba Mitch: 9 Nick: 10 Riley: 8 Riley: I'm not gonna lie, I didn't enjoy the rumba part. I thought it was a bit too generic but also lacked the wow factor. However, I did love the QS, so well done ![]() That gives them a total of 27 |

It couldn't have been closer. Literally ONE point in it
. But as joint winners with a score of 27 out of 30, that does mean that Danny & Natalie, Ethan & Oksana, Izzie & Gorka and Ross & Chloe all receive a 2 point head start to the public vote. With just one point behind them and a total of 26 from a possible 30 it means that Chris & Oti and Queenie & Aljaz also receive a vote advantage and will go into the public vote with a 1 point head start ![]() LINES ARE NOW OPEN To vote please rank the 6 finalists from 6 (favourite) to 1. Anyone can vote. Lines will close at 19:00 hours TOMORROW. After which I will be back to reveal your Christmas CHAMPIONS and runners up ![]() |

It's just like real Strictly then, cogs in a wheel like Len said.
It must take lots of time and effort for the host and I think the judges are great, they didn't get voted through then they came back as judges and said really positive things. When I'm a judge I'm always a complete ****. |

Oh good lord 😂 Dizzie ride again! Well done Izzie on your now inevitable win, I'm utterly thrilled with top two- as I'm notoriously awful in Christmas specials!
Well done to Chris, Ross, Queenie, & Ethan! It's been a tough and tight contest you all did exceptionally well!
