Tilly and Nikita Samba to Levitating by Dua Lipa ✨ BBC Strictly 2021 

Going to miss Tilly from the show. She's a lovely, polite lady and she progressed really well throughout the competition. She really threw herself into the routines. Her whole family must be very proud of her.

I think her leg lines are beautiful she did an awesome job. This dance is very fast and so many intricate details to it. Well done Tilly you gave it your best shot and you did good! 👏🏽

Awww Tilly....we're going to really miss you and your wonderful energy. You may not have won Strictly 2021, but you are definitely a winner, there's no doubt about that!

She performed the dance with very good smile on her face, especially during shimmy shimmy movements Loved it

What a beautiful young lady.Wish her all the best in life.A lovely personality as well.

I could watch Nikita all day

The first attempt showed all the insecurity this young woman has accumulated and then in the dance off!!!!! Oh Tilly !!! You triumphed!!!!Well done my darlin ! You rocked it ! Wonderful young woman. You took it all on the chin, never resorted to emotional blackmail or whinging. # Winning

As a dancer, Samba is a very difficult dance, especially for a beginner. I think that she did a good job considering, and the performance aspect of the dance was great 💜

Performers that are joyful to watch makes their performances perfect! It defines “entertainment”. People are too technical about other things. Tilly could’ve been a winner!

I LOVE TILLY AND NIKITA

To me, this felt like I was watching someone dancing to their favourite song in their bedroom. The fun was there and the confidence was there, the technique and finesse, not so much.

If you had told me Tilly had THIS in her on week 1, I would not have believed it... great job!

You did so great Tilly!!

She deserved to be in that quarter final so much! Go tilly!

Well done Tilly. You can see you are your Dad's daughter. Hard work and perseverance paying off. I really hope you win. Love from South Africa.

Great song, great choreo abd great job Tilly. Loved the way you were you all the way.

Still love this dance by Tilly and Nikita, even though it was 2 years ago 😬 and I love the tune by Dua Lipa!

She's awesome!! She's all smiles too I love her!

Love Tilly and nkitia

Tilly is so sweet and such a lady…ladybug did great ❤😊

Well done Tilly and Nikita . I will miss you! 😍😍😍👍👍👍👍

You can definitely tell that she's out of her comfort zone doing this, good on her for giving it her best shot. It's funny, it's like you're watching two separate dances in one, because she's got the moves down, her body is technically doing it, but that confident, sexy persona and commanding presence is completely missing, the vibes she was giving off was more happy and jolly and she doesn't quite believe in herself. Even the outfit is out there for her, but she looks great, definitely toned up and kudos to her for pushing herself past her limits.

Tilley and Nikkita pereformed really good on Saturday ! They are my favourite !

She’s having a great time. Good for her putting her self out there 🥰

I give Tilly and Nikita 8 out of 10. I loved this performance. It was messy in quite a few places, but there was some really nice sections of footwork. Technically, not amazing, but the performance was joyous!

This was my favourite dance Nikita was awesome and Tilly ofc amazing idk if anyone seen Nikita had a diabetes monitor on that made me really proud to show my diabetes wear off aswell . Good for Nikita ❤

I just love this little girl and I wish her all the best❤❤

Tilly is improving so much each week. My fave 3 celebs are AJ, then John, then Tilly. She’s not technically the best but so interesting to watch.

Was it perfect? No. But did Tilly look like she was having fun? Absolutely! She definitely looked like this was one of her favourite dances so far. A couple fo things to work on, she was quite weak and loose through the arms, wrists and hands in this one, but she definitely gets bonus point from me for her go-getter attitude!

It was my favourite dance of the season. So much fun x

Tilly looks so bomb in this! Love it ❤️

finally we got to hear dula peep on strictly

She's my favourite

Score - *9/10* Maybe abit high but I just loved this performance, it felt exaggerated, energetic, full on and passionate, I loved all the shimmys and the African walk was very clean. The voltas and whisk were very nicely done and the stationary walk was really precise, I loved the attention to the detail of the basics of Samba, she did beautiful heal leads in the corta jacka (the only Latin step that requires a heal lead). Her arms were clean, I love Dua Lipa so the song choice really give this dance a boost I think, all the solo sections were bright and lively. Btw I really like Nikita's Summer clothes, where could me get them from? xD. Tilly always gives every dance 100% no matter what the character or technique requires and that goes along way in terms of dance in my book, you can't be a dancer unless you are willing to train yourself in different personalities and techniques for each dance you can never play the same and Tilly never plays the same 😊

And Dan walker is still in like seriously 😂😂

Is it just me or is this version of the song better than the original?

Man, her confidence has been growing like a tree. It's been do beautiful to see. Remember the meek little girl waltzing in week 1? She's shed her shell. As a fan of her, it's great to see. And this Samba is really nice. There were some flaws, but she did well. Lately, she's been doing things I didn't think she would have in her, as much as I thought she'd be great. I think that dance would be better for all 8s, but... eh.

For a 20 year old and this being her first TV show adventure, she did very well.

Great job Tilly👍🙏. You are so beautiful and sweet 🥰. Wish you all the best ahead of you 🙌

TiLLY GO GIRL

Love seeing Tilly having fun!

Best decor and outfits! 😍♥️

Goo Tilly Tills 💗💗💗💗 you guys 🎉🎉🎉💖💖💖 are everything ❣️🎊💐🎊💐🎊💐🎊💞

it was so good they deserve to stay in well done👍

I have never seen this show but we have something similiar in Australia.. If Tilly performed this dance on our Aus show she would be close to the winner if not the winner.. this was awesome.

Is there anything she can’t do? She can cook, she can dance and on top of that she’s gorgeous!!!

Love her eye shadow it’s so pretty!

Did anyone else notice the libre? Nikita is AMAZING 🤩

Go Tilly❤💪

Tilly's note.I love the song levitating.💓

How is Tilly out when Dan Walker is still in...baffled 🤔

Fire 🔥

Love you guys 🤩💖🎈🎈🎈✌

I love you

Team Tilly! ❤️🙌🏽

Yes tilly

I don't think she did too bad considering she's really young and hasn't done anything like this before❤

I don't want her to go home she is the best dancer hope she wins strictly come dancing

Nikita is very handsome when he dances, especially with the floppy fringe flicking back and forth! I rather enjoyed this :)

L love it

Tilly and Nikita are in my Top 4.

In heels WOW!

Bomb ba 💪🏻🥳

i actually really enjoyed this performance - she could have attacked more but it was still good

Craig 7 Cynthia 7 Shirley 8 Anton 8 = 30✨

My score 8. I enjoyed it although, Shirley was right some transitions were a bit sloppy. Really loved this musical arrangement of the Dua song.

They’re probably going home which is a shame because I actually really liked this!

Nice

You can't really compare a samba to a waltz. The samba is much more difficult.

You got the moves Tilly and Nikita

That skirt made the performance!

I felt this was underscored in my opinion

Tilly you’re really really good I think you win as you’re really really good at it I think I think you will win the 🏆 Lillian is so proud of you I’m so proud of Tilly with what she’s done later on in the year this year this year I love you Tilly 💖💖💖💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️💕💕💕😘😘😘🥰🥰❤️❤️💖💖 i’m really really good dancer gratulation used to be proud of yourself and your dad be proud of you as well Gordon Ramsay he’s been proud of you Tilly Gordon Ramsay is your daddy💋💋💋

Ngl this was one of the best dances of the night. Like no way was that a 7. 8 or higher. Like if this got a 9 or 10, i wouldn't have kicked up a fuss. She did an amazing job

Yep

I think this deserved a 40 for the possitvity and the fun and it just generally looked like they were having so much fun and Tilly is so much more confident and tried so hard and she looks great so

Her last dance for sure, had a great run to be fair. A 7 from me.

They need to upload the results show version of this. If you know, you know.

When they danced in the dance off and biking took his shirt off I so wish I was tilly 😳😳😳😳😂

Yes, it was messy, but that is also because Tilly actually tried to complete difficult moves, and the choreography was intricate and demanding. This still impressed me much more than Dan's performance. Really hope she and Rhys stay, and Dan leaves!

Score: *8* I gave them an extra point because I FINALLY GOT A SAMBA ROLL!! WOO-HOO!!! With that being said, I agree with all the judges on this one. I believe Bonnie Langford said on ITT that she will need to bring her sexy out and I didn't get that, granted it was cheeky but it needed more sensational movements. The content was there but there was a disconnect in the execution. With that being said, there was some content that she did was amazing like the shadow botofogos and some that needed polished like her voltas. Its not a bad dance, just needed polishing in some areas.

It was clear that Tilly didn't quite feel comfortable with the sexy style of this dance. Her arms were a bit messy and turning her feet outwards rather than inwards in some places would have helped her balance. Some timing issues too. But, I really enjoyed the energy and attack she brought to this dance, it was a joy to watch. 8

tilly is no longer a lil girl after this video, look how in love she is, love this girl too pieces!!!m cant let them go!!!!! much love nyc

Sounds more Bollywood than Salsa to me. Love it though😍

This was fun - wasn’t perfect but a good 8

She's so healthy

Where to get the band's versions of the song?

She didn't deserve to go this week I think Dan the man the cardboard man deserved to go instead Tilly was awesome she's come out of her she'll so much. No offence to Dan fans. ~ Rachy x

She has a natural big girl body type, but she really looks hot and in fantastic shape. Stunning legs. She is an incredible talent in dancing and cooking.

Hear a new spin off Stricly Roller Skating

Tilly should have been kept in the one to go should be Dan walker strictly is fixed

Like to be a dancer

Omg it says and I’m feeling so electric dance my ass off

What is the name of the move that Nikita is doing at 0:36 and 1:25?

She really pushed herself this week and did a good job - however , feel like it will be similar to saffron barker - samba on the same week. Bottom of the leaderboard

i loved this but this was the dance that was set up for elimination why did everyone else get really good ballroom style dances then they got the short end with a dangerous samba. hope she doesn't go home
