Two acts have were voted off The Greatest Dancer in the the live semi-final on Saturday night.
It was the fifth live show of the series this weekend and six acts remained – but two were seen heading home yesterday evening (Saturday, February 29).
Dance captains Cheryl, Oti Mabuse, Todrick and Matthew Morrison were back with their acts for the penultimate time in a bid to win over viewer votes with this week’s challenges.
After all had performed live for a latest time it was over to viewers to vote for their favourite. Once lines had closed, the acts with the fewest votes were revealed.
