The JLS singer is set to perform two technical dances that scored 10s[/caption]

JLS star JB Gill and pro Lauren Oakley, actress Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, blind comedian Chris McCausland and Aussie pro Dianne Buswell and  Love Island‘s Tasha Ghouri and Ajaz Skorjanec will all take to the dancefloor for the last time.

Pop star JB will perform a Show Dance to a Motown Medley, followed by a Viennese Waltz to Let’s Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins and lastly a Samba to Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes.

But some fans were thought it was “unfair” that JB was the only celeb doing two technical dances that scored 10s.

One viewer pointed out: “Bit unfair JB is the only one doing two technical 10 dances and some of the hardest ones for beginners at that. I will forgive the judges for giving him a dance that scored highly but not for giving us two 10s and an American smooth.”

Someone else counter argued, writing: “He’s also doing a dance he got 39 for a whole… two weeks ago. The difficulty level!”

Another then chipped in: “Which is also going to have to be reworked to take out the backing dancers and means learning new choreograph.”

The original poster replied:: “I still do not think its fair that one person is expected to do a complex ballroom dance versus a couples do whatever you want we’re going to score you on vibes bonanza. It makes a mockery of the show. The couples choices have been a load of tosh and incredibly watered down post 2018.

“Also, a dance scoring 39 being chosen by the judges is not unheard of e.g. Harry Judd and Fleur.”

Miranda star Sarah is set to perform her Show Dance to Cabaret by Metropole Orkest, an American Smooth to Proud by Heather Small and a Cha Cha to Like A Prayer by Madonna.

Tasha will take to the dancefloor with a Show Dance to Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman, a Couple’s Choice to What About Us by P!nk and an American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi.

While Chris will perform a Show Dance to You Get What You Give by New Radicals, a Couple’s Choice to Instant Karma! (We All Shine On) by John Lennon and a Waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers.

Last week we saw Pete Wicks and Jowita Pryzstal go home in the semi-final dance off, narrowly missing out on their place in the final.

Pete and Jowita took to the floor once again with Tasha Ghouri and Alijaz Skorjanec in the dance floor, with judges choosing to save Tasha and Alijaz to dance again.

The final four left in the BBC dance show are Tasha Ghouri and Alijaz Skorjanec, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola and Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell.
