Chris is married?

I think the point of having an extra judge is to avoid there being a draw like last year. It all depends whether the judges have a say in the votes next week. If so they will choose Ricky Whittle over Chris but if it's up to the viewers to decided Ricky won't make the final. He has been in the dance off two weeks on the trott. That's proof that he is not popular with the public.

I like Ricky and I think it's unfair he's been in the dance-off when he's obviously the best dancer. It'll be ridiculous if he goes off next when Chris is nowhere near as good. I think I'll have to start voting!

This weekend's Strictly Come Dancing semi-final will reportedly not feature a dance-off.

According to The Sun, the judges' scores will be added to the public vote, but the two couples with the highest overall score will reach the final without either having to compete in an additional dance.

It has been suggested that the change has been introduced because Jade Johnson's withdrawal has left one fewer couple in the semi-final compared to previous years.

It has also been claimed that the axing of the additional dance could benefit sports presenter Chris Hollins and partner Ola Jordan.

A source said: "The decision to scrap the dance-off hasn't been taken purely to keep Chris in but it does seem to increase his chances of staying. The dance-off wouldn't be as interesting with only three couples."

In the event of two couples being drawn on the combined judges' scored and public calls, the viewers' vote will be the tie-breaker.

The Strictly semi-final airs on BBC One on Saturday at 6.45pm on BBC One, with the results show following at 9.30pm.

Details about next weekend's Strictly Come Dancing semi-final have been revealed.

The show will see the final three celebrities Ali Bastian, Ricky Whittle and Chris Hollins competing for a slot in this year's final. The trio will perform an Argentine tango and one of their favourite routines from the series, Strictly star Erin Boag revealed on BBC Breakfast this morning.

Bastian and her American dance partner Brian Fortuna are expected to dance their Viennese waltz for a second time, while Whittle and Australian Natalie Lowe are rumoured to be re-doing their quick-step.

Chris Hollins and Ola Jordan are reportedly going to perform the rumba, which they danced during the first week of the competition.
