The judges were impressed by both couples’ routines and they decided to perform them again. But Nikita was forced to endure a fashion malfunction when his shirt got caught in the middle of the performance.
The judges gave their verdicts after the couples danced again.
Craig Revel Horwood saved Nancy and Rhys. Craig stated, “Well, on Saturday night I gave both couples seven. So in my mind they are equal.”
The dance off showed that the two of them had improved greatly, even though one was flashy and half- naked. Rhys, Nancy would love my help.

Cynthia Erivo volunteered to help Nancy and Rhys. Cynthia commented, “This was really, really hard. Although both couples were able to do a great job, it was down to small things like finishing the footwork. Rhys, Nancy would be saved.
Anton Du Beke decided to save Rhys, Nancy. Anton stated, “It was another great dance off.” As we have come to know, Tilly put on a fantastic performance. She’s a true fighter. However, Nancy and Rhys could be saved if they had slightly better techniques and quality.
They won the majority vote with three votes for Nancy and Rhys. Tilly & Nikita will be exiting the competition. Head Judge Shirley Ballas stated that she would have saved Nancy and Rhys.
Shirley replied, “I would agree. I would have saved Rhys’ and Nancy’s lives.”
Tilly replied to Tess when she asked about their experience on the show. To everyone from the backstage crew, to wardrobe and make-up artists, as well as camera crew.

“It has been an extraordinary experience. “I discovered something I did not know about myself, that I was able to dance and have fun as this.
“So I want to say a big thanks and, of course, a huge THANK YOU to Nikita for helping me get out of my shell. It has been an incredible experience.
Tilly answered the question “Thanks, Thank you” and said, “Thanks, I’m so glad you asked me for my message to Nikita.” This has been an amazing experience. When I claimed that I’d made a life-long friend, I was really serious. Your kindness and generosity have been amazing. You have been amazing these past weeks.
Goodbye: Nikita was then asked if he had any words for Tilly and said: ‘I’m the most emotional person so I hope I don’t cry’
Nikita was then asked about Tilly’s feelings and he replied, “I’m very emotional so I’m not going to cry.”
“I just want to thank everyone, Strictly, for all the help, costumes and make-up. Thanks guys. Thank you to all the cast and professionals. And a big, heartfelt thank you for Tilly.
