Despite the mishap, Dianne praised Bobby's improvement and expressed gratitude for reaching the semi-finals. Former show pro James Jordan commended their performance, calling it a fantastic job of the famous dance.
Risk and Growth
Dianne acknowledged the risk they took in attempting the challenging lift, stating that they didn't want to play it safe. She emphasized Bobby's progress in his dance skills, considering he had only started dancing 11 weeks ago. Despite not fully nailing the lift, Dianne highlighted Bobby's leading skills, footwork, and overall improvement in the performance. The couple received an impressive score of 34 and did not finish at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Supportive Reactions
Dianne's honest Instagram post received an outpouring of support from followers. Former show pro James Jordan expressed his nostalgia and admiration for their dance, stating that it gave him goosebumps. Despite the minor mishap, viewers believed that Dianne and Bobby gave a good account of themselves.
Semi-Finals and Withdrawals
Dianne and Bobby's hard work paid off as they secured a spot in the semi-finals. However, the competition faced a setback with the withdrawal of Nigel Harman and Katya Jones due to injury. As a result, all the other remaining dancers will advance to the next week of the show.
