It's all rock 'n' roll and twirls tonight as the remaining 12 contestants present either a jive or Viennese waltz in an effort to impress the judges and avoid the dance-off. And while everyone nervously awaits the results, the professional dancers perform a sizzling samba, plus there's a special number to celebrate the 80th anniversary of MGM musicals. Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly present.
