Adding a new theme to mark Strictly's 20th-anniversary series, 'Icons Week' saw the remaining couples take to the dance floor to perform a routine accompanied by a track from a well-known singer or band.

After reperforming their routines, all four judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke - all agreed unanimously to save Montell and Johannes, therefore making Sam and Nikita the sixth couple to exit the competition.
