Strictly Come Dancing: the quarter-final results show – as it happened

High-stakes semi-final next time

Well, that show was basically an extended trailer for next weekend’s semi-final. Low on proper action but it whetted our appetites at least. As always, thanks for watching along with me, my choreographic compadres. A slightly strange Strictly weekend but still a fun one.

Our awesome foursome now tackle two routines apiece in their bid to go all the way to the grand glitterball finale. It airs next Saturday at 7.35pm on BBC1.

Meet you back here to raise our proverbial paddles. In the meantime, you know the score: keeeeep dancing! Thank you and a glittery goodnight.

Tonight’s TV tips

Viewers can now flip to Sky Nature for Whale with Steve Backshall, to ITV1 for the finale of Lenny Henry’s Windrush drama Three Little Birds, to Channel 4 for Bill Bailey’s Australian Adventure or, if you’re feeling gratuitously festive, Channel 5 for Christmas at Longleat.

At 9pm, choose from Boat Story on BBC1, I’m A Celebrity on ITV1 or True Crime Night on Channel 4.

Film-wise, my picks are excellent neo-western Hell or High Water (10.45pm on BBC2) or teen comedy Booksmart (11.55pm on BBC1).
