Strictly semi-final songs and dances: Full list of this week’s Strictly performances

Full List of Strictly Come Dancing semi-final performances

The Strictly Come Dancing Grand Final is fast approaching, with just one weekend to go before one lucky couple can lift the glitterball trophy.

Due to Will Bayley’s unfortunate leg injury earlier in the competition which saw him withdraw from the show, there will be three couples in the final instead of the usual four.

As per tradition, the remaining four couples will perform two routines in the semi-final. Here is the official song and dance list for this weekend:

Emma Barton and Anton du Beke

The Cha-Cha to Hold My Hand by Jess Glynne

Waltz to Gymnopédie No. 1 by Erik Satie

Chris Ramsey and Karen Clifton

Rumba to Don’t Watch Me Cry by Jorja Smith

Viennese Waltz to Somebody to Love by Queen

Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden

Argentine Tango to Libertango by Bond

American Smooth to Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond

Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse

Paso Doble to Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes

Quickstep to The Lady Is A Tramp by The Glee Cast

The synopsis for Saturday’s semi-final reads: “Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman invite you to join them for the semi-final of Strictly Come Dancing.

“The Glitterball trophy is within touching distance and the stakes have never been higher.

“Tonight, the four remaining couples will have to perform not one but two brand new routines in a bid to impress the judges and viewers at home. It’s double the dancing, double the excitement and double the pressure!”

Who will make it through to the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2019 will be revealed on Sunday’s (December 8) result show.

But first, former One Direction member Niall Horan will perform his new single Nice To Meet You.

The Strictly professionals will open the show alongside critically acclaimed ballet superstar and The Royal Ballet’s former principal guest artist, Carlos Accosta CBE.

Shirley Ballas, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse will then decide between the two couples who performed in the dreaded dance-off which one will not make it through to the final.

At the moment, Chris Ramsey is the favourite to miss out on a spot in next week’s final.

Chris is at odds of 2/9 to leave the competition at Coral, Bet365 and Ladbrokes.

Coral spokesperson Harry Aitkenhead said: “Kelvin remains the hot favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing 2019 and we make him odds on to be lifting the Glitterball trophy in two weeks.

“Emma and Karim are now joint second-favourites, and certainly have a chance, whilst Chris is the rank outsider and at 25/1 his hopes look forlorn despite reaching the semi-final.”
