The Final Four: Who's Dancing Their Way to the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 Finale?
The dance-off continues on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing 2025, with only four couples remaining in the competition. After another elimination, the semi-finalists have been revealed, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the final showdown.
The latest elimination saw Lewis Cope and his partner Katya Jones, known for their salsa to 'Dance At The Gym' from West Side Story, face the judges' decision. Along with them, reality TV star Amber Davies and her dance partner Nikita Kuzmin, who performed a Charleston to 'Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat' from Guys And Dolls, were in the bottom two.
The judges' choice was clear: Cope and Jones were sent home, leaving Davies and Kuzmin to continue their journey. Davies, who received a perfect score for her performance, joins a select group of semi-finalists, including Balvinder Sopal, George Clarke, and Karen Carney.
Cope, despite his elimination, expressed his gratitude for the experience. "It's been more than I could have ever wished for," he said. "If someone would have said that I'd have done 11 weeks on the show at the beginning, I'd have been over the moon." He also praised his dance partner, Katya Jones, for her dedication and friendship.
Jones reciprocated the sentiment, calling Cope a "gentleman" and praising his humility and kindness. "I'm so glad we had a chance to showcase your talent and see the beautiful person you are," she said.
The remaining couples will perform in the semi-final, which airs next weekend on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 18:35 GMT on Saturday, December 13. The results show will follow at 19:45 GMT on Sunday, December 14. Each couple will perform two new routines, with special performances from Australian singer Kylie Minogue and the boyband Five.
The tension is rising as the competition narrows down, and the question remains: who will take the crown in the final dance-off?
