It's hard to believe we're already heading towards week 12 of Strictly Come Dancing, with four couples stepping up to compete in this year's semi-finals, all of whom will be challenged with learning two complex dance routines.

Last week, AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington found themselves in the dance-off after an important lift at the end of their performance went awry, fighting against Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova for a place in the semis.
Luckily, they nailed the tricky move on their second attempt, putting them ahead of the competition, with the judges voting unanimously to put them through to next week.
That meant it was the end of the line for Dan and Nadiya, who some fans had criticised in recent weeks, but both the Strictly judges and RadioTimes.com columnist Ian Waite praised him for making good progress since the start of the show.
We now know what songs and styles the remaining members of the Strictly Come Dancing 2021 line-up will be working with this weekend, as announced in a video shared to social media.
