If you can earn a place in the Final with pure attitude, Molly is right there. Well, this has ALL the drama, and Molly’s dress is spectacular. Motsi thought it was a great comeback, and Shirley thought it was a ‘daddy cool’ dance. Whoever goes, it’s going to be a FABULOUS final next week. Hamza and Jovita are at the top of the leaderboard, and Will and Nancy are at the bottom – with Helen and Fleur on the same score above him. Thank you SO much for joining in on this chilly Sunday – I’ll be back tomorrow night (forgoing my Monday DanceFit class, for the love of Strictly) for the Results.

Will and Nancy are awarded 32 points. Hamza tears up at the judges lovely comments. [Kym Marsh](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/kym-marsh/index.html) and her professional partner [Graziano Di Prima](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/graziano-di-prima/index.html) became the tenth dancing duo to be booted from Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday's results show. The dance earned them 35 points from the judges, scoring an impressive 10 from Anton and a 9 from Mosti, while Craig and Shirley both awarded the couple 8's. They will then take to the dancefloor for a second time to a cover of Survivor by 2WEI featuring Edda Hayes, doing a Paso Doble.

Motsi and Anton award Will ten's while Shirley and Craig each give him a nine. Hamza Yassin topped the leaderboard after their first dance of the evening with 39 points while Will Mellor placed last with 32, with the actor branding his dance 'too aggressive'.

The Countryfile host and the Spanish dancer kicked off their semi-final with an elegant waltz.

But Craig Revel Horwood did pick fault as he said there was a "bit of gapping" and that Helen's performance was "slightly rigid". She added: "It was a dreamy performance, I think the friendship and bond you two have formed showed in this waltz." Motsi Mabuse commented: "For me, I thought magic. Strictly Come Dancing viewers believe they have spotted what they think is a 'cheat' move as Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez took to the floor for their first performance of the evening.

The Strictly Come Dancing judges discussed Helen Skelton's progress before she took to the ballroom with Gorka Marquez.

[Strictly,](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/strictly-come-dancing) as she fled rehearsals through a fire exit door as the pressure of the first live show got to her. Since that moment early on in the new series, Helen's confidence has been boosted by some terrific performances and some great scores, with her and Gorka getting 39 out of 40 twice now. And it was during the frank conversation, that When she did take to the ballroom for the first time, the judges picked up on her lack of confidence and since then, they and Helen's pro partner [Gorka Marquez](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/tv/gorka-marquez-strictly-helen-skelton-25701616) have been urging her to have more self belief.

The semi-final of the BBC One dance contest aired on Sunday night after a 24 hour delay.

The singer and radio host, who is the only celebrity in the competition to have scored a full house, scored 35 for their first routine of the night with Anton Du Beke getting out his 10 paddle. @bettyredondo commented: "Looking forward to this semi final but also know it will predictably result in a Molly / Fleur dance off which is just so depressing #strictly." And the penultimate week in the competition was bumped to 24 hours later than usual as England faced France in their quarter-final match in the World Cup. Because of the football, the hit show has been moved two weeks in a row. @ShaunKitchener said: "Already nervous for the Molly v Fleur dance-off #strictly." Fleur and Molly destined for the dance off before they’ve even danced."

Judge Shirley Ballas felt the same and also didn't appear to be a fan of the cape, leaving her only awarding the actor a seven. Fellow judge Craig Revel-Horwood ...

The cape looked like he was trying to dry himself with a towel". A supporter of the couple said: "The judges are so harsh on Will & Nancy. Will always makes me smile and Nancy looked stunning." One person said: "That’s like me trying to put my scarf on before I go out in the cold…" The dance still got them a combined score of 32 out of 40 but Will was seemingly disappointed with his performance. But that doesn't stop Strictly Come Dancing Viewers having a giggle about the cape situation on Twitter.

Hamza Yassin fought off close competition from Molly Rainford to top the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard in the semi-finals of the competition.

Positive with a smile, I think you inspire a lot of people, starting from me, to the whole nation.” “I was wrong,” he said. I am so proud of you.” Ballas said: “You are a survivor, you have been in that bottom two so many times. I’ve been in this industry a long, long time and studied this art… “Seeing you every day going out of your comfort zone, giving me 120% every time…

Yassin also impressed with a lovely waltz, while Helen Skelton smouldered in her Argentine tango. But is Will Mellor heading home?

It was fun pastiche, and it had attitude (ish), but it was basically impossible to compare it to everything that came before, and the judges didn’t bother; there was no technical critique. Revel Horwood thought it lacked flow and the posture was wrong, but he took command. Ballas thought he nailed the arrogance, but he collapsed the frame and the cape work didn’t convince. Ballas said it was one of the best paso dobles she’s seen. Mabuse loved the sharpness and intensity: that was the dance to get her into the final. Mabuse disagreed: it was a great combination of control and show-off. Revel Horwood: “Some people dance the steps; you dance the music, and I love that.” One 10 for 37. Revel Horwood noted a lazy left foot swivel, but loved the details and jive elements. This routine, set to Pencil Full of Lead, was pure joy: high-energy, gleefully zany, and the insane lefts that are now standard for this couple (particularly loved the low-down airplane one). It was also playful, buoyant and a great display of teamwork, if occasionally messy. Craig Revel Horwood noted a loss of balance, but enjoyed the strength. Our famous five celebrities coped pretty well, all things considered, but there was a noticeable drop in quality from the [previous show](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/strictly-come-dancing-2022-musicals-week-helen-skelton-does/) – and the judges, particularly Shirley Ballas, went to war on some of the shoddy semi-final technique.

The TV presenter, 39, gave it her all as she danced the Argentine Tango with Gorka Marquez to Here Comes The Rain Again by Eurythmics.

Talking numbers: Craig awarded the pair a score of nine while Motsi scored them 10, Shirley gave them nine and Anton scored them 10. They scored a total of 32 out of 40. The pair got 39 out of a possible 40. For me, you are the man of the night. Motsi said: 'You were so alive, present and you really had everything in control. You were very brave, darling, wearing a kilt in a Charleston.'

Hamze and Jowite took the lead at the top of the leader board while Will and Nancy landed the lowest scores of the night.

Total = 75 - Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez - First dance: 36/40; Second dance: 36/40. Hamza impressed with both his dances and landed a total score of 76/80. Total = 76 Here's a run-down of who is impressing the judges one week ahead of the Strictly final. The dancing couples each showcased two performances in front of the judges, audience, and viewers at home on Saturday night.

Wildlife presenter Hamza Yassin topped the standings once again. He was courageous enough to wear a kilt for his high-kicking Charleston.

The bill of ballroom fare was bafflingly repetitive. All bucket hats and baggy jeans, it was nostalgic fun but another reminder of the absurdity of the Couple’s Choice category. His waltz wasn’t quite up to his own high standard but Yassin comfortably deserves a place in the final and looks one of two prime candidates to lift the glitterball trophy. The new boy’s neediness to be seen as the nicest judge undermined his credibility. This was an occasion when the standard slipped and the judging went haywire. Last week, we experienced the discombobulation of a Friday night edition of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC One).

It remains to be seen if that will be enough to take him through to next week's final. Will and Nancy received a score of 38. Motsi Mabuse highlighted what a great recovery performance this was after his earlier dance failed to impress. However, he said the dance ended up going "very well." Will and Nancy's first performance didn't go down well with the judges — their Paso Doble only scored 32, with two scores of seven.

The dance contest's head judge divided fans as she appeared back on the BBC One show's panel.

#Strictly." Thinking they spotted the reason for Shirley's change, @robbied1506 joked: "Wow, Sunday is obviously not a good day for Shirley #Strictly." She then added: "Do I think you belong in the final? But getting boos from the audience, Shirley declared: "Let's learn! "You had the arrogance part, fantastic," Shirley went on. Today, you're a little bit twisted with the left arm..." @sneakydenim tweeted: "Shirley is choosing chaos today #Strictly." I do believe you give 100% of your heart, but this is the semi-final." And Strictly fans watching from home had a lot to say about Shirley's comments. She caused a ripple of boos from the audience when she criticised Will Mellor's first routine of the night, a Paso Doble to Uccen by Taalbi brothers and DWTS. And with the Glitterball trophy in touching distance, Shirley wasn't messing around. The Strictly Come Dancing final is less than a week away so Shirley Ballas may be forgiven for being more critical than usual.

Fans usually find out the eliminated contestant on social media due to the 24 hour gap between the live show and pre-recorded results.

Strictly did actually used to do two live shows in a weekend - doing the results in real-time on a Sunday. In a show first, the BBC One dance contest aired its usual Saturday night live show, and the semi-final no less, on Sunday night (December 11). But, because the results show is always filmed directly after the live show, fans usually find out the eliminated contestant on social media. Hamza received 39, the joint highest score of the night, for his Scottish-themed Charleston to Pencil Full Of Lead by Paolo Nutini with Jowita. Molly was just one point behind Yassin on the leaderboard following her “absolutely fantastic” paso doble to Survivor by 2WEI featuring Edda Hayes. @DWTSALANARTEM31 said: "I need that #StrictlySpoiler like now! @irwinscline tweeted: "#StrictlySpoiler pls hurry up. @StrictlySpoiler wrote: "8am & no verifiable #StrictlySpoiler anywhere! @amysafcxx added: "Has been the latest #StrictlySpoiler ever????

Some declared the show "a fix" as they accused the judges of showing favouritism.

"I totally get different ratings just not 2 points lower where 10s are involved (either overrated or underrated)". "10 implies perfect and even with different/easier standards (Motsi & Anton) it just doesn’t make sense how one judge can see at least 2 lots of minor mistakes or 1 big mistake yet another is rating perfect. @bexycharlotte added: "These scores are just nonsense tonight." Colin Briggs (@colinb13) shared: "It’s an interesting one tonight. It’s so obvious it’s a fix for Fleur and Molly to be in the final. It's a fix." #Strictly". I'm an ex professional dancer and know what I'm talking about." Some declared the show "a fix" based on how those stars were scored compared to Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton and Coronation Street actor Will Mellor. On Twitter, Tanya Fisher (@tanyafisher23) tweeted: "Helen got 35 for her waltz, Hamza got 37. Some BBC viewers accused Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke of showing favouritism towards three of the remaining stars amid the "silly scoring". Hamza and professional partner Jowita Przysta received the joint-highest score of the night with a 39 in his first dance followed by 37 to top the semi-final leaderboard.

And he also had a simple two-word response when clips of their Argentine tango was posted to Strictly's official Instagram page with their initial reactions after heading backstage following the intense and sexy performance. But while Strictly viewers didn't appear to notice, it was co-host Tess Daly who brought up as she praised her by saying: "Is your dress ok? @jlongy_66 replied: "Me neither." Some Strictly Come Dancing fans were a little irked when Tess Daly pointed out Helen Skelton's unfortunate wardrobe blunder during the semi-final.
