Strictly Results Show Week 11 - 12th December 2010
This weekend's two Strictly Semi Final shows saw our famous five take to the floor with a total of three dances. Kara and Artem's Viennese Waltz topped the judges' scoreboard on Friday night, with Pamela and James once again getting perfect scores for their Quickstep last night. Gavin and Katya had the lowest scoring dances on both nights, with both their Viennese Waltz and and their Samba failing to impress the judges.
In tonight's double elimination we learn who the tenth and eleventh couple leaving the contest will be. With the glitterball trophy in sight, have your favourites done enough to secure themselves a spot in next week's grand final?
Tonight's show also sees the return of the Strictly Showdancers with a hot blooded group dance, and a special performance from our Brucie.
Have your say on all of tonight's action by leaving a comment below.
