McFly's Harry Judd tops 'Strictly' semi-final results
Published Sunday, Dec 11 2011, 08:40 GMT | By Alex Fletcher | 6 comments
Harry Judd headed back to the top of the Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard in last night's semi-final.
The McFly drummer and Aliona Vilani missed out on scoring a perfect 40 marks, but with 39 points for both their charleston and Viennese waltz they won back the top spot on the scoreboard.
Judd's charleston won universal praise from the panel, but it was his Viennese waltz that really caught their eyes. Bruno Tonioli described the ballroom routine as "class, romance and style".
Alesha Dixon added that Judd had been wasted "hiding" behind his drumkit for so long.
The boyband star is the bookmakers' favourite to win the title at Blackpool Tower Ballroom next weekend.
Len Goodman joked after his Viennese waltz: "I'm going to come across all Henry VIII. 'Send him to the Tower!'... Blackpool Tower, that is!"
Chelsee Healey and Jason Donovan were unable to match Judd's overall scores, but both TV stars did achieve the first perfect 40s of the series.
Alex Jones and Australian star Holly Valance were in the danger zone at the end of the evening and will face elimination unless they are saved by the public vote.
The Strictly results show airs tonight (December 11) at 6.55pm on BBC One.
