The result is based purely on your votes tonight and the judges have no say, so get voting guys! Jayne and Chris open the show with a beautiful rendition of their classic Bolero...

Can you believe it's 25 years since they first performed the Bolero? Chris tells Phil and Holly that it's emotional every time they dance it and if they knew that they'd still be dancing the Bolero on ice, they would be so happy. Phil commends the pair, "it's such an important part of this show too!"

Here come the skaters, they all look fantastic and more than ready for a grand final. Just a few seconds to wait until the contestants start flying...

First up is Zaraah and her VT shows she's had a tough week. After wearing the harness an old rib injury returned, so she'll be skating whilst in pain again. It doesn't seem to bother her during her performance though, she looks like a princess and floats with grace to One Day I'll Fly Away. It's poetry in motion, soft and delicate. She really is the great survivor. I mean after fouur skate-offs she still has os much confidence. There's a float spin, open spins and a rollover on the wire. I had to smile when she wiggled to adjust her costume, she nearly lost it bless her! She scores 26 points and Robin gushes... "Your eyes never left Fred and your skating was fantastic". She's strapped up to the eyes and deserves those comments. Good for you Zaraah!

Chris is next to skate and I can't wait to see what he comes up with. In training he had problems with his skates catching the wires and Frankie's weight was also a problem (as she couldn't manipulate his movement). It has to be difficult to shift a 13 stone strapping lad like Chris around. The pair dance to Fly Me To The Moon. WOW! I loved the part were he lifted her off the ice and the corkscrew finish was divine! Can you belive Frankie managed to spin him! The couple scores 25.5, but I can understand why Jason awarded them 4.5 as the presentation suffered a little during the transitions. I'm glad the NIcky commended him for controlling his movements and tricks. It's far more difficult for Chris than the girls as the weight ratio is reversed. He has to help Frankie shift his weight, whilst the professional guys can fling their girls around. Well done Chris!

It's time for Suzanne's performance and after seeing a glimpse in training, you might want to have a tissue at the ready. Bless, she flies like a fairy and both her and Matt connect like never before. There's a tinkerbell launch, a horizontal back glide and a tabletop spin. Her positioning is perfect and the whole routine is flawless! I can't believe it, for the first time all of the judges award 6's. It's a clean sweep! Suzanne screams, "thank you" and Jayne is filling up. Holly is in tears and she has to pass over to the judges. Jason says, "now THAT is flying! You were sensational!" Karen can't speak for crying and I have honestly never seen anything like this!

End of round one and it has to go to Suzanne. I'm shocked that Chris is in third place with the judges at the moment... Then again, it's his Cry Me A River routine next.

It's time for their favourite performances and Zaraah has chosed Diamonds and Pearls. They both look so elegant and I have to agree with Jayne, Zaraah's confidence has rocketed. There's a wrap around spin, a tabletop lift and her footwork has really improved. The judges award 26.5 in total and Jason thought it was "sublime". She really sparkled during that routine!

Chris can't wait to perform Cry Me A River and I can't wait either. In his VT, he says he wants to dance tonight for his mum and all of his friends who have come down every week in their Team Fountain T-shirts. He also adds how important Frankie is to him... Ooooh! The music starts and they've added so much to the routine! So much more footwork and I just love that tabletop lift and blur spin! He looks exhausted when they finish and I can understand why. It was jam packed! The judges award him three sixes and he pulls 29 points in total. Karen and Nicky are in awe, "you are the best skater we have had on Dancing On Ice!" Ruthie awarded a six and is shocked that Nicky deducted half a mark because Chris changed his end position. I agree Ruthie, what a swizz - get your head together Nicky!

Congratulations to Suzanne, but I'm really not sure what happened there. I think the judges comments had a lot to do with the result tonight and especially all of those sixes. I'm not sure they were all justified? Suzanne was the better flyer, but that was all.

Chris looks gutted, but congratulates Suzanne. Holly asks how he feels after missing out on the trophy, "I don't mind, I really enjoyed it and I want to thank my mum and everyone over there for their support".

The skaters have a real challenge tonight. The required element is a solo spot and each contestant must perform alone for 20 seconds. As if that wasn't difficult enough, they must also skate out of the tunnel and start their routine solo. Chris & Jayne are concerned that this task has thrown them this week...

Who will take the pressure and make it to the final? Judge Jason Gardiner believes that Zaraah will leave tonight, do you agree or is she a force to be reckoned with?

Gareth Gates is up first and bless him, he's petrified of the solo skate. It's not so much the performance but coming out of the tunnel. "I'm always so nervous before we come out and we always skate out together. I'm gona find that really difficult". Regardless of nerves, he does well. Thankfully, he's dancing to his favourite rock anthem Livin' On A Prayer and that spurs him on. He's confident in his solo with three turns and a drag, then he performs a lay back (with spin), a roll up and a catch lift. Chris said he rocked on and Nicky loved his presentation and skill on the ice. I was outraged that Jason scored him low. He claimed that "this wasn't a semi-final performance". What rubbish! Gareth scores 24.5 in all and he's happy. I think he's done enough to make the final, but if you want to see him next week don't forget to vote!

Suzanne is hot to trot tonight. After snaffling the highest score of the series (weeks ago), she only managed fourth place last week and it was a real let down. She dances to Eternal Flame and her solo is both elegant and delicate. In training she has been worried about the float spin, but there was no need. It was spectacular! She adds a ballet lift with full arm extension and an arabasque - There are 5.5's across the board and regardless of her chipped ankle, Suzanne jumps for joy and is right up on her tippee toes to hug Matt! Robin advises that it wasn't the lifts or her partner that gave her those scores, "it was your talent and skating on the ice!" Sounds good to me Suzy!

I feel sorry for Zaraah. I don't know anyone who thinks she's going to make it through tonight and she's trying so hard. In training the pair have been concentrating on personality and precision, as like the others Zaraah's terrified of the solo and the judges are concerned about her facial expression. WOW! She dances to One by U2 and her solo skate is beautiful. She floats across the ice with grace and poise and Fred appears (as if from nowhere) to sweep her into the fish lift... then into the flambo and spin, followed by an inverted swan spin finish. To be honest, I didn't even see Fred skate on - I was captured by Zaraah. Well done missus! A well deserved 27 points and it's her best score yet. Jason says, "now THAT was a semi-final performance Zaraah. With that, you deserve to be in the final". Get voting peeps, it's gonna be closer than we thought - Zaraah's raised her game!

Salsa time! Chris is up next and he's performing to Livin' La Vida Loca! It's hot enough to melt the ice and as always, I'm clapping and squealing like a loon! For the first time a celebrity has performed a flambo lift and a helicopter and I just love these two! Chris was concerned about his Salsa skills and they even took a Salsa class to brush up. I really think it helped as Chris was aflame! It was just bob on and when Chris Dean is asked  for his opinion he can say just one word, "amazing!" If it wasn't for my dodgy back, I'd be jumping up and down myself - The crowd are screaming SIX! SIX! SIX! THE PAIR SCORE 29 POINTS AND GRAB THREE SIXES ALONG THE WAY! As always, Jason was the only one to poo-poo the fun. He pointed out that there were issues with the pairs synchronization and the performance wasn't perfect. Chris was the first to agree, but he asked the viewers at home to get them to the final and they will try to make it perfect next week. Both Nicky and Robin disagreed with Jason and they're the pro's after all! "You got a six from me because that was the whole package". Let's not forget that Jason awarded a six to Keiron Bracken last year, even when there was a slip infront of the judges table. What's all that about Jason?

IF YOU MISSED TONIGHT'S SHOW, BE SURE TO CATCH THAT PERFORMANCE ON MY VIDEO PLAYER TOMORROW. IT'S JUST TOO GOOD TO MISS! SEE YOU HERE IN AN HOUR FOR THE RESULTS -GO CHRIS!

THE SKATE OFF!

The two couples who must skate again are Gareth and Zaraah... Chris and Suzanne are in the final!

Gareth needs to be careful here. Zaraah has upped her game tonight and he received the lowest score earlier. Zaraah's also had skate-off experience and the pressure could get to Gareth. As the judges vote on the skate-off performance only, it could be a close call.

Both skaters hold it together and improve on their previous performances. If I had to call it though, I think Zaraah had the better content. I'm shocked by her turnaround, she's on fire tonight.

The judges agree with me, it's a clean sweep for Zaraah! Gareth leaves us tonight. "I've fought out there and I've had a great time".

Thanks Gareth, we had a ball!

So that's it... Next week it's flying, skating and the Bolero! Who will win Dancing On Ice? Leave your comments...

See you tomorrow for all the aftershow goss!

If you're wondering about the theme for this week, believe me when I say SO AM I!!! The music that Chris and Jayne have selected ranges from U2 to The Bangles and at first I thought it may be all about 'the lurve', but Livin' La Vida Loca isn't really a super-ballad is it?

Anyway, here's Chris & Jayne's picks...

Livin' on a Prayer

Livin' La Vida Loca

One

Eternal Flame

Leona Lewis will also be performing two tracks on Sunday night. Jayne and Chris have choreographed a beautiful routine, so they'll be bopping around her like it's going out of fashion.

Sounds good to me!
More soon...
