Strictly fans give Hamza top semi-final score - while Fleur finished last

The Strictly Come Dancing stars shimmied their way into the semi-finals last weekend, where the remaining five couples battled it out for their place in the show-stopping final.

With each dancing duo performing two different routines instead of just one, the stakes were higher than ever.

It was the end of the road for Will Mellor and Nancy Xu as the couple were eliminated following a dance-off against Fleur East and Vito Coppola on Monday night (December 12).

Despite remaining at the top end of the leaderboard throughout the competition, this weekend Will Mellor found himself right at the bottom with a combined score of 70.

While the dancing duo failed to impress the judges, Mirror readers placed the pair in the middle of the leader board with an average score of 7.6.
