Strictly's Nikita Kuzmin issued a heartfelt plea to viewers on Saturday evening after his dance partner Amber Davies faced a wave of online trolling for securing a place in the semi-final. The professional dancer, 27, and his celebrity partner Amber, 29, wowed the audience and judges with a Couple's Choice routine to RAYE 's rendition of Fly Me to the Moon, marking their second performance of the evening. The pair earned an impressive 40 points from judges Craig Revel Horwood , Shirley Ballas , Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke, placing them second on the leaderboard after scoring 37 points earlier in the show for their Tango.
