“Alastair, how on earth you got into ballet I’ll never know. I love the fact you still go down the pub with your mates… if you got a body like that from drinking beer, people would be drinking more beer! You have been brilliant in this series, you have been incredible. Tonight, though, for the first time I think I have seen someone dancing for their life and that was Robbie, and he overwhelmed you with his performance. He really looked like he was dancing for his life, and I am sorry but you won’t be staying with us.”

After his elimination Alastair said, on what has made his experience: “These people, these guys I’ve been working with – thank you everyone.”, below is an exclusive clip of Alastair discussing his exit.

“Lizzie we have seen not so much your technique as your personality grow across this series. You’re very shy even though you’re a performer and to see that personality start to come out now, I’m a little sorry it hasn’t been before this. But you have never been here in the bottom two and you find yourself here in the most important week of this series.

“Mandy you said all the hard work would be worthwhile if you get to the grand final. All the hard work has been worthwhile, but let me say I am ever so sorry you haven’t made the grand final this year.”

After her elimination Mandy said: “Before I start crying I just want to thank everybody who has helped me – I’m the blubbering American, I’m sorry. Everybody who has helped me get this far. Everybody who dances, keep dancing. It’s worth it.”, below is an exclusive clip of Mandy discussing her exit from the show.

“Yanet, you need to be careful that your personality comes out in your face as well as your body,” he said. “You have a wonderful animalistic magnetism to your work that draws people in, but sometimes your face doesn’t express that as much as I believe you’re feeling it. Yanet, I don’t think it’s going to come as a surprise to you this week that you will not be in our top six.”

Looking close to tears, Fuentes said: “I am disappointed, just because I would have loved to continue the great work with the amazing choreographers. I feel like a winner – I’ve come such a long way on my own. I’m going to take the positive comments from the judges and hopefully will improve my career.”

“Without question, both of you could have been in our finale and I would not have been surprised if either of you had won,” he said. “Both your solos were fantastic. We were not a fan of the gold telephone this week, Drew, but we are a fan of your dancing. Your dancing is so good you don’t need props. Drew, I’m sorry and I’m surprised that I’m saying this, but you are leaving us this week.”

McOnie said that he couldn’t explain how he was feeling but added: “The whole experience has been one of the most amazing times of my life. It’s genuinely changed me. The amazing choreographers we had the pleasure to learn from – I want to take that forward in my career to make me a better dancer and a better person. I hope this makes people want to dance as much as I do.”
