The Strictly Come Dancing 2021 semi-final airs this weekend, and we now know which routines our four remaining couples will perform in the hope they can impress the judges and audience.
After Dan Walker was eliminated from the competition, it was confirmed that the four semi-final couples would be AJ and Kai, John and Johannes, Rose and Giovanni, and Rhys and Nancy.
It was a high-scoring quarter-final though, with AJ and Kai at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 30, and Rose and Giovanni and Rhys and Nancy sharing the top spot with an impressive 39.
AJ and Kai were in the bottom two, but judges chose to send Dan Walker home again, bringing an end to the competition for Dan and Nadiya.
In the semi-final, the pressure is on as each couple will perform two routines to try and earn a spot in the all-important Strictly final. But who will make it there?
