I’ve had the best time, thank you judges for all your comments I’ve had an absolute ball.I’d say to anyone who is thinking about doing this show to just go for it and do it, I don’t care what colour you are or what size you are, I’ve loved it
After both couples had danced a second time the judges delivered their verdicts on who would be remaining in the competition
Craig chose to save Caroline and Pasha, saying: "One is a fun dance, one is a very serious dance but I have to go for the best dance and that is Caroline and Pasha."

Bruno also agreed stating he would like to save Caroline and Pasha.
Finally Head Judge Len Goodman added: "I would have agreed with my colleagues and saved Caroline and Pasha."
