Strictly Come Dancing 2022 semi-finals results: Who left the show, how to catch-up & who’s the final four?

The judges have decided who will be competing in the 20th Strictly Come Dancing final - here’s who left the show

The remaining couples of Strictly Come Dancing brought some electric performances at the semi-finals live show on Sunday. Each couple pulled out all the stops to make the final four with only two points separating bottom and top of the leaderboard.

Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu and Fleur East and  Vito Coppola both led the leaderboard with 39 points after impressing the judges. This series’ standout Will Mellor & Nancy Xu were not far behind with 38, while Hamza Raffin & Jowita Przystal and Helen Skelton & Gorka Marquez were both tied bottom with 37.

As always though, praise from the judges and audience doesn’t mean you are safe as the couples faced the dreaded elimination show, during which the contestants with the fewest votes from the public have to compete in a dance-off to fight for their chance to stay in the competition.

So, who left Strictly Come Dancing in the Semi-Finals dance off? Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s show.
