Strictly Live Show - Semi-Final No.1, Friday 10th Dec 2010
It's about as serious as Strictly Come Dancing gets this weekend - we're at the semi-finals and our five fabulous final couples have been working their little socks off for MONTHS now.
Nobody wants to fall at the final hurdle - but the sad truth is that TWO COUPLES will leave the dancefloor after this weekend's shows.
However, before we get to that horrible double elimination on Sunday, we've got two exciting LIVE semi-finals for you to enjoy. We're back on Saturday at 6pm as usual, but tonight we kick the whole Strictly Weekend off with an hour of live excitement from 9pm to 10pm.
Our couples will each perform one dance as per usual, then they'll take part in the endurance marathon Swing-A-Thon!
If you're watching the live show, why don't you leave your comments below and share your thoughts with the country?!

I think Scott is in a bit of danger tonight . His work commitments have impacted his performances and now he has to do three dances, I fears his stamina will cost him. Also I've seen a few people disgruntled with Pamela if you can believe it. Even if she comes top with the judges she may struggle for audience votes.
