These two certainly don’t lack for chemistry (on and off the floor), and they hardly needed the Strictly smoke machine – they were steaming up the ballroom all on their own. It was a big change of pace for the second dance: a slow, sensual rumba. Craig Revel Horwood, who finally dusted off his 10 paddle, crowed “O-M-G, darling, that was incredible.” Motsi Mabuse praised Odudu’s delivery of a difficult dance, while an emotional Shirley Ballas called it pure Strictly magic. Odudu came into the semi-final still chasing that elusive 40 – could a feather-light, old-school Fred ‘n’ Ginger quickstep to Sing, Sing, Sing do the trick? You bet! The judges were in ballroom heaven, with Anton Du Beke saying it was shame the annual Blackpool trip was off this year as their dance was worth of that Tower Ballroom floor. AJ Odudu delivers a perfect quickstep and smoking rumba Join us to find out who falls agonisingly short on the results show at 7:20pm on Sunday night on BBC One. But only three will make it through – and, as it stands, Stephenson is the one trailing slightly in the standings, with Whaite just ahead. What a shame that we can’t have a four-person final this year this quartet really are worthy of it. Both scored yet more 10s, resulting in a close leaderboard. John Whaite and Rhys Stephenson impressed too, with Whaite producing an emotional Couple’s Choice number and bold jive, and Stephenson a intense tango and surprisingly strong samba. AJ Odudu and Rose Ayling-Ellis are joint leaders after they both scored a perfect 40 on Saturday night, the former with her quickstep and the latter with her Argentine tango, plus a 39 for their second dance. Well, the two-dance semi-final usually sees the standard drop as the celebrities struggle with twice the workload, but not this year.
