Stars will battle it out for a place in next week's Strictly Come Dance final tonight with celebs dancing not once, but twice to wow the judges.

Singer HRVY and Janette Manrara topped the leaderboard last week with an impressive 29 from the judges.

WHO LEFT STRICTLY LAST WEEK?
JJ Chalmers was the last celebrity to leave the show after his charleston to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Chalmers, 33, and his partner Amy Dowden found themselves in a dance off with Jamie Laing and Karen Hauer after coming bottom of the leaderboard in Saturday's show.
But the Invictus Games medallist failed to impress and left the show one week before the semi-final.
Speaking about his time on the show, Chalmers told host Tess Daly: “I’m unbelievably proud.
“I never thought I would make it this far, I've gotten half decent maybe at something which I had no clue about to begin with and I've enjoyed every second of it, it has just been an absolute blast.
“It's just a privilege to be in this long. I mean this competition is insane! To be counted among that cast at this stage in particular means the world to me.”
