We've arrived at the semi-final of the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing, and it was all to play for, with just Ranvir, Maisie, Bill and HRVY left in the competition! The weekend saw its share of thrills, and of course, the dreaded elimination...

Here with Kevin to discuss the highlights, the surprises, and each dance in turn are returning guests, Strictly performer, Joanne Clifton and Burn The Floor star, Lauren Oakley!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• At this late stage in the competition, you can be tempted to play it safe, but the ones who really stand out are the ones who go for it and enjoy the fact that their time is running short.
• There are a certain set of rules for professionals on the series. This can affect the number of specialist moves you can perform in each dance. This practice has evolved over time in order to meet consistency guidelines.
• Faults or flaws in technicalities during a performance affect scores, but this is also a flaw in itself. Technical moves are not the only element that makes a dance unique. You can be technical but still boring.
• The celebrities in this year's series have been incredible, but we should never forget the tireless, peerless work done by this year's pros, who have produced some stunning performances and made this series a real highlight in an otherwise downbeat year.
