From the thousands of people who initially auditioned, tonight just seven couples remain and their fate is quite literally in your hands.

With the shock departure last week of favourites Kate Somerset-How and Tom Bradley, the contestants know they need to up their game to win public votes and stay on in the competition.

This week the theme is classic movie songs and with a focus on vocal performance, the contestants are feeling the pressure.

Judging are the celebrity panel, Theatre Producer, David Ian, Choreographer to the stars, Brian Friedman, West End star Sinitta and Showbiz Producer Mr David Gest but ultimately the decision rests in the publics hands. At the end of tonight, the couple with the lowest public vote will leave the competition for good. (See below for Judges comments and performance running order).

Tonight was a night of surprises all round and they included:

* Brian Friedman told Michelle Antrobus she looked gorgeous and revealed that she was like his first girlfriend, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt.
* Vicky Hoyles appeared on stage with her partner Michael Quinn yet shockingly was not wearing her engagement ring. A further blow for her fiancé in the audience Ben Jardine came when at the end of their performance, Vicky and Michael shared a passionate kiss.
* David Gest revealed that Hayley Clarke was his favourite because she was “sexy, sexy, sexy.”
* Alison Crawford revealed that she had spent the week pulling Anthony Kavanagh’s “strings” to get him in shape for this week and David Gest particularly noted hat he looked fitter.
* David Ian told Susan McFadden that she gave a leading lady West End performance and that she must be in the competition next week.

The favourites this week:

David Gest: “My favourites are Danny and Susan and Anthony and Alison”

Sinitta: “For me tonight it was Richards vocals, Laurens growth and Anthony’s charisma. Their partners need to step up their game.”

David Ian: “There were no disappointments but Michael emerged as a leading man tonight. Vicky you listened and played sweet and vulnerable. Disappointing wise, Richard the movement worries me.”

Brian Friedman: “Richard and Jo, you stepped it up this week and I enjoyed that. Bradley it was dead end and you have to step up the game vocally.”

The results are in and the two couples to face the sing off are Michael Quinn and his partner Vicky Hoyles and Richard Morgan with his partner Joanna Power.

With one last chance to impress the Judges and prove they have what it takes to be the next Danny and Sandy both couples have to perform for one last time with a special rendition of the Grease classic You’re The on The I Want.

The couple leaving the competition are…

With David Gest delivering the verdict he announced that the Judges had chosen to save Michael and Vicky. So for Richard and Joanna it is the end of the road and their Grease journey is over. Leaving only six couples to fight it out next week.

Performance running order and Judges comments:

Up first tonight were Danny Rhodes and Lauren McConnell singing What a Feeling from the movie Flashdance:

David Ian – “Danny that was not your greatest vocal performance. Lauren I think personally you held that number together. The braces have come off! I thought it was great. Not sure I’m looking at Danny and Sandy though.”

Brian Friedman: “Your teeth look amazing (Lauren has had her braces removed). I thought the solo performances were great. Harmonies didn’t click for me. Lauren you have a huge career ahead of you with that voice if you don’t get to be Sandy.

David Gest – “I gotta tell you, last week I told you that you gave the best vocal performance. Earlier I heard you and it was not the best rehearsal and tonight it was brilliant. It came back together. The chemistry was stronger and stronger. It was like magic. The two of you are like dynamite.”

Sinitta – “It was strange choice of harmonies but Lauren you are blossoming in front of our very eyes. The baby girl is going to fly away.”

Michael Quinn and Vicky Hoyles singing Up Where we Belong from the movie An Officer and a Gentleman.

At the end of their performance, they shared an intimate kiss.

David Ian: “ Michael you reminded me of Michael Buble. That song, I liked it vocally. Vicky you were sweet and vulnerable and you listened to the notes and at the end there was real romance. You were not cabaret!

David Gest: “This is the fist time I’ve really loved your performance. I loved the ending. I loved the sticky kiss at the end!”

Brian Friedman: “Michael you are growing on me that’s all I have to say. We are seeing you as a West End star now. Vicky, we have to watch out about your vocals not overpowering your partner. Tonight you calmed it down and blended well with him and I really enjoyed your performance. But, is your fiancé not going to be upset about that kiss? (Michael’s response: “Its all about becoming the characters and this competition is all about acting. We both have beautiful partners that we share!”

Sinitta: “ Vicky, you’re so sweet and so pretty. Michael I think your father will be proud of you.”

Wayne Smith and Hayley Clarke singing when You Say Nothing at All from smash hit movie Notting Hill.

David Ian: “What’s great about tonight is you were staged apart yet you were connected throughout the whole song. That’s acting that’s what I need.”

Brian Friedman: “What I love is you took us on a journey. It started smooth and soft and with a song that doesn’t build much you managed to build mountains and you’re the best dressed and (to Wayne) I want those shoes!”

David Gest: “Hayley you get sexier and sexier every single week. What I love about you two I that you didn’t take it for granted what I said last wek, you worked hard and the chemistry is 100% there. It was a great performance and you made it a great song.”

Sinitta: “It was so lovely, so convincing. I love the way you look at her Wayne and she’s blushing and Hayley, the way you look at him like you would follow him to the ends of the earth - that’s what we need.”

Richard Morgan and Joanna Power singing Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me from the film Lost Boys.

David Ian: “Sinitta is right Richard. You are a great singer and I am happy to say that, you blasted Joanne out of the water. This is about more than that. Movement in the first number was worrying. With the acting you didn’t connect. This is a singing dancing and acting but the singing was good.”

David Gest: “Richard I think your vocals are great - you’re a great pop singer. Joanne we need some work on. It was a little weak tonight and you need some work on it. The chemistry was better but I’m still not convinced yet.”

Brian Friedman: “It was not bland or boring tonight! Richard, without the dancing being an element tonight I really enjoyed your performance and you should be thankful there is none. Joanne whatever you lack vocally you make up for in ambition and this can get you so far in this industry.”

Sinitta: “You look beautiful tonight and I can see all your passion. Richard you are first a father, second a builder and thirdly an amazing vocalist. Amazing. I think you guys will be safe tonight.”

Anthony Kavanagh and Alison Crawford singing Nothing’s Gonna Stop us Now from 80’s classic movie Mannequin.

“Alison, I’ve been pulling a few strings – he’s been working hard this week.”

David Ian: “Anthony, that was a great vocal performance. I loved that. Kavanagh is back. Alison you’re not the best singer but you’re the best performer in my opinion and as a couple I love you.”

David Gest: “Holy Foccacia you finally got it and it’s about time. I mean you look thinner, you sounded great, This is the star that you are. Alison, what a great vocal. You two are Sandy and Danny. That’s what we want from you.”

Brian Friedman: “You sell everything that you do Alison. Anthony I loved that performance, it was star quality and I felt like I was watching a musical awards there.”

SInitta: “Your whole vibe is so cheeky and sexy and you push each other and support each other loved it - loved it.”

Danny Bayne and Susan McFadden singing Time Of My Life from the movie Dirty Dancing.

David Ian: “The show has been amazing. You were a great singer Danny tonight. Susan, that was a West End leading lady performance. Susan you must be here next week.”

David Gest: “This has now become a real competition. This was the best performance Danny, you have ever given the best vocals I have ever seen from you. You sang with such force. There was a great chemistry.”

Brian Friedman: “Tough love truly works – you guys stepped it up tonight. You are the best of the night vocally.”

Sinitta: “Susan you don’t need to cry. You’re not going anywhere. You’re great. Susan we though you were stronger than Danny but tonight I couldn’t take my eyes off you Danny.”

Bradley Clarkson and Michelle Antrobus singing Against All Odds from the film Buster.

After an emotional week, Michelle was on the verge of tears throughout her performance.

David Ian: “The thing I like about you two is that you are the best two actors in this competition. You have a great personal relationship and vocally you have to work. It’s not exciting. It’s not bad but it’s not the wow factor. If you get back next week you need to work on that.”

David Gest: “It started off slow but it built – a great performance.”

Brian Friedman: “Michelle you look gorgeous. You look like my first girlfriend Jennifer love Hewitt! Bradley it was more dead end and Michelle you were more West End.”

Sinitta: “You got worked up but you needed that kick up the butt and you pushed it tonight. Be confident. It was a passionate performance.”
