The EastEnders star and her Australian professional dance partner Julian Callion (who only joined the BBC dance competition this year), lost in Sunday’s dance-off against reality TV star Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin, after finding themselves at the bottom of the semi-final leaderboard.
Balvinder and Julian performed their Salsa to a medley of Gloria Estefan’s Rhythm Is Gonna Get You and Get On Your Feet for a second time, before Amber and Nikita reprised their couple’s choice to Raye’s cover of Fly Me To The Moon.
All four judges (Shirley Balls, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke) voted to save Amber and Nikita.
But now the final Strictly results show has taken place, let’s take a look at your Strictly 2025 finalists, hoping to give it one last dance (or three) to win the glitterball trophy and follow in the footsteps of 2024 champions Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell.
