Who was in the bottom two?
Ranvir and Giovanni and found themselves in the dance off against Jamie Laing and his partner, Karen Hauer.
After both couples had danced a second time the judges delivered their verdicts.
Craig Revel Horwood said: "Well one of course did an explosive fabulous Salsa, the other couple did a dreamy delicious, gorgeous waltz.
"I think both couples couldn’t have danced those dances better than they did tonight, it was incredible and I want to see both of you in the final. I’d like to save Jamie and Karen."
Motsi argued: "Well this was really one tough decision, we had two beautiful dances, two beautiful human beings and I will save Ranvir and Giovanni."
Casting the deciding vote, Shirley Ballas got visibly emotional as she told the stars: "This is very difficult because I’ve grown to love both couples. I’m getting quite emotional now. Musicality, determination, conviction from both teams, they just gave their all.
"But I just feel that one couple had a little more determination, a little bit more: ‘I’m not leaving without that trophy’ and with that in mind I’m saving Jamie and Karen."
