Outnumbered star Tyger Drew-Honey and Tracy Beaker actress Dani Harmer have won the latest heat of Let's Dance for Sport Relief 2012. The couple won their way through to the final after topping the public vote on Saturday's show with their recreation of the Speak Easy routine from the classic musical Bugsy Malone. Comedian Omid Djalili also won a place in the final after his performance to Public Enemy's Fight The Power won the judges' vote ahead of Olly Murs and DJ Scott Mills - who had danced to the LMFAO hit Party Rock Anthem. Both acts will now compete in the final in a fortnight's time - joining EastEnders stars Tameka Empson and Laurie Brett, comedian Terry Alderton, Olympic skiier Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards and comic actor Miles Jupp. Others who took part on Saturday night included TV presenter Kirsten O'Brien - who danced to Van Halen's Jump - and comedienne Arabella Weir, who recreated the Kylie video for Can't Get You Out Of My Head. Afterwards Dani said she was "absolutely flabbergasted" to have made the final, while Tyger added, "It's such a surprise but it feels amazing now we've got to do it again." Earlier guest judge Katy Brand described the routine as a "proper old school full on showbiz performance", while Tim Minchin added, "I think it's disgusting how you can be so young and so good at stuff." Next Saturday will see the final heat of the current series ahead of the final on March 17.
