Judge Len Goodman told the the couple Kellie and professional dancer Kevin Clifton: “Tonight is all about who deserves to get to the final, 100 per cent if you’re not there…” Jay and his partner did a great a great job of convincing the judges that a fluffed lift at the end of their dance had gone exactly as planned, despite Jay appearing to drop Alioni.
The second routine, a waltz to Puccini, fared better with six more points.
Revel Horwood agreed. “That was a classic, darling”, he said. A score of 31 for their second routine left them with a total of 56 points.
Jay & Aliona are going to Charleston to Doctor Jazz from musical Jelly’s Last Jam and perform a Viennese Waltz to Bryan Adams’ Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?
Darcey said: “Energetic and full of style, loved it”. The works weren’t as bad as Jay was expecting with 34 points in all.
While Craig said it was “technically brilliant and nearly perfect”.
The Coronation Street actress, who has been ill all week, impressed the judges with her cha cha and her Viennese Waltz during Saturday night’s show. Overall, the couple posted a first score of 33 for the evening.
Bruno Tonioli said: “You sexy little thing, disco diva fabulous – I had a great time, who cares”.
As if the pressure wasn’t high enough already, with the coveted Glitterball Trophy well within reach, this week the pairs must dance TWO solo dances.
Later on their Salsa to “Feel This Moment” by Pitbull feat.
The quarter-finals saw Georgia May Foote and Helen George fighting for it out in the dance-off, while Kellie Bright – a likely candidate to be booted off after previously landing in the dance-off twice – stormed back into favour.
