The results show will air at 7.20pm on BBC1 on Sunday 11th December.

Who are the Strictly semi-finalists?

Hollyoaks actor Danny Mac and his professional partner Oti Mabuse will be performing a Salsa and an American Smooth. Former pop star Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton will be hoping their Samba is equal to Danny's – and they are also set to perform a Tango.

Olympic gymnast Claudia Fragapane and her newcomer partner AJ will take on the Rumba and the Quickstep, while Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton will also be Quickstepping and tackling the tricky Argentine Tango.
