PICK OF THE DAY

STRICTLY COME DANCING, 6.35PM, BBC1

ANOTHER tumultuous and entertaining series – on and off the dance floor – reaches the semi-final. Five couples, among them Ashley Roberts and Pasha Kovalev (right) remain and the pressure is really mounting. Not only are they tantalisingly close to getting their hands on the Glitterball, but they also have to perform two dances tonight. And, unlike in the recent Lindy Hop challenge, they won’t have all the other couples on the dance floor to distract from their performance. The judges will deliver their verdicts, but it’s also up to viewers at home to decide who hotfoots it into next week’s grand final.
