In pictures: Strictly Come Dancing 2018 week 12 semi-final

This year’s Strictly Come Dancing 2018 semi-final was a tense one.

With each of the five remaining couples dancing twice over the course of the night, there was a lot of pressure to secure a place in this weekend’s final. Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer kept their spots at the top of the leaderboard while Lauren Steadman trailed more than 20 points behind.

Stacey Dooley gave them a run for their money coming in just one point below them while Joe Sugg couldn’t get past the 60 out of 80 mark.

Lauren was sent home on Sunday night after losing the dance-off to Ashley, who was in the bottom two again. There’s no way Ashley should have been in the dance-off again but clearly the public don’t want her to win.

The leaderboard for the evening was:

Ashley Roberts and Pasha Kovalev – 76
Faye Tozer and Giovanni Pernice – 76
Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton – 75
Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell – 59
Lauren Steadman and AJ Pritchard – 54

Strictly Come Dancing 2018’s grand final takes place at 6.30pm Saturday on BBC One. See all of the action from the semi-final below:
