Sarah Hadland, Tash Gouri, Chris McCausland, Jb Gill, and Pete Wicks have all survived weeks upon weeks of non-stop dance to make it all the way to the Semi-Final. And now two dances are all that stands between them and a place in the coveted Strictly Come Dancing Final next week.

After last week's Quarter Finals Musicals Special (that sadly saw Montell and Johannes eliminated), the five remaining couples now have to tackle two dances. But you wouldn't know that there was added pressure on them, because the Semi-Final was full of high quality performances.

Who stood out with some powerful performances and what went down on the dancefloor?

It’s time to put up your disco ball... because Strictly Come Dancing is back.

The hit BBC reality series has unveiled a whole new roster of contestants for 2022, including TV presenters, athletes, and pop stars.

You can check out the full line-up here.

Among the contestants competing for the Glitterball trophy this year is Helen Skelton.

But who is Skelton, and what has she said about appearing on Strictly?

Skelton, 39, is best known for co-presenting the BBC children’s series Blue Peter from 2008 until 2013, and presenting on Countryfile since 2014.

She currently appears in the Channel 5 show On the Farm, and she is also a regular presence on the radio, having stood in for Dermot O’Leary and Oj Borg on BBC Radio 2. The broadcaster was also just announced as the host of the new BBC Radio 5 Live Sunday morning programme.

Skelton is no stranger to Strictly, having taken...

A man accused of killing four men by poisoning them appeared in the background of a Celebrity MasterChef episode in 2014.

Stills taken from an episode of the BBC show appear to show Stephen Port serving pasta and meatballs alongside celebrity contestants including Jls star Jb Gill and former EastEnders actress Emma Barton.

Port has been charged with four counts of murder and four counts of administering a poison with intent to endanger life or inflict grievous bodily harm.

The 40-year-old is accused of poisoning four men between June 2014 and September 2015, after contacting them via online dating services.

He appeared at the Old Bailey for a preliminary hearing via video link on Wednesday (October 21), speaking only to confirm his name.

Port, of Cooke Street in Barking, was remanded in custody pending further preliminary hearings.

A provisional trial date has been set for April 2016.

The Metropolitan Police stepped up their investigations earlier...

Jb Gill is to present a five-part children's show on his farm. The 25-year-old singer - who starred in pop group Jls alongside Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold and Oritsé Williams - bought the property in Orpington, Kent four years ago and is set to open his doors to welcome the CBeebies cameras for 'Down On The Farm'. Jb - whose real name is Jonathan Benjamin - explained: ''I spend a lot of time on the farm, so it will be great to share this experience with the CBeebies audience. ''This is a really exciting venture for me, and I look forward to learning...

The Jump eliminee Jb Gill has revealed that Heather Mills really helped him by giving him extra ski training during the competition.

Speaking to reporters after being eliminated in last night's semi-final, the Jls star explained that Mills had an advantage as a Paralympic skier.

"She was really helpful, especially to me – I don't know about the other contestants," said Gill. "She was really helpful with me learning how to carve, learning how to ski, learning how to race on my edges and learning how to be competitive, really. It was really, really beneficial and I really appreciated her taking the time, really, because she didn't have to do that.

"It is a competition at the end of the day and I'm sure she wanted to do the best that she possibly could - and I'm sure she realised that if she'd given away too many tips they would take...

Steve-o is the latest celebrity to be eliminated from The Jump.

The shock-stunt performer failed to make it through to the semi-final after competing in a live jump-off.

The show began with the celebrities being split into groups of four to compete on the icy Ski Cross course. The person from each group with the slowest time was then required to take part in a live jump.

Mike Tindall triumphed in the first race, where Louise Thompson collided with Steve-o and enabled Jb Gill to take second place.

The second heat saw novice skier Joey Essex finish in first place, with Louise Hazel as runner-up.

In the third deciding run, Thompson held an insurmountable lead after recovering from her earlier crash and secured her place in the next round.

The Jump star Louie Spence has revealed that he got a kiss and cuddle from Mike Tindall after being eliminated from the competition.

Spence - who beat Tindall in the skeleton on Sunday but was eliminated last night (February 3) - told Digital Spy and other reporters today that he had a good relationship with the rugby star.

"I always got a big hug and a kiss off Mike," he said. "He's fiercely competitive and I think he does want to win everything, but he's a gentle giant as well. I mean, once showtime's over and he's tried to take you out – and I don't mean for a drink – he's the sweetest guy you could ever meet. So I did get my kiss and cuddle, which was quite nice. No tongue."

Louie Spence and Jodie Kidd have been eliminated from 'The Jump'. The choreographer and the model have become the latest stars to be ejected from the competition after facing J.B. Gill and Louise Hazel respectively in the jump off. Louie registered a distance of 6.44m air jump, just short of the 6.48m the former Jls singer managed, while Louise convincingly beat Jodie with a 6.83m effort to 6.71m. The stars found themselves facing the eliminator following poor performances in the brutal snow cross. Despite his disappointment, Louie insisted the competition had been ''a lot of fun''. He tweeted afterwards: ''Thanks for all your tweets, it's...

Louie Spence and Jodie Kidd are the latest celebrities to be eliminated from The Jump.

The two failed to make it through to the next challenge after competing in a live jump-off.

The show began with the celebrities being split into threes to compete on the brutal Snow Cross. The person from each group with the slowest time was then required to take part in a live jump.

The two celebrities who managed the smallest jump then had to leave the competition.

First to try the event were Joey Essex, Mike Tindall and Spence. The dancer came a firm last in the heat.

He was then joined in a jump-off by Jls's Jb Gill after he lost out to Steve-o and Jon-Allan Butterworth in their event.

Spence was eliminated after his 6.44m jump was beaten by Gill's 6.48m effort.

Next up were Louise Hazel, Stacey Solomon and Chloe Madeley.

Hazel finished last in their challenge,...

The Jump's eliminees Dom Parker and Phil Tufnell have opened up about their exit from the competition tonight - promising that they'll reunite on Dom's upcoming chat show.

Speaking to reporters including Digital Spy in Austria after losing out to Jb Gill and Mike Tindall, the duo - who became "good mates" during training - explained that they would love to work together in the future.

"I'll invite him [on the show] - whether or not he turns up or not," Parker joked. "As long as he brings me a box of chocolates."

As Tufnell suggested that he could bring the drinks out, Parker agreed: "Yes, you can be the butler. Who's the celebrity butler today?"

Tufnell added that the duo could go on a skiing holiday together, with Parker adding: "We could do that. A bit of mountaineering, perhaps. We could take on the North Face of the Eiger or something, barefoot.

Phil Tufnell and Dom Parker are the first two celebrities to be eliminated from The Jump.

The two men failed to make it through to the next challenge after competing in a live jump-off.

The Jump live blog: Return of celebrity winter sports contest as it happened

The show began with the eight male celebrities being split into pairings to compete on the Skeleton track. The person from each pair with the lowest time was then required to take part in a live jump.

The two celebrities who provided the smallest jump then had to leave the competition.

First to face the jump was Mike Tindall, whose Skeleton track time of 46.08 seconds didn't beat Louie Spence's 44.79 seconds.

Tindall was joined on the ledge by cricketer Phil Tufnell, who lost out to Joey Essex on the Skeleton by less than a second.

The Jump is back! Following the sad demise of fellow sports skills/celebrity-breaking shows Splash and Tumble, The Jump has managed to secure itself a second series on Channel 4.

Davina McCall returns to host the show tonight, with celebrity contestants including former Jls singer Jb Gill, ex-Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, former rugby star Mike Tindall (married to equestrian and royal Zara Phillips) and Gogglebox favourite Dom Parker.

In fact, we'll see a cast of 16 celebs put through the trauma of performing a daring ski jump live on TV - and they've been sharing their secrets and fears ahead of the start of competition.

The action kicks off tonight with some of our brave celebs taking part in the skeleton: but who will triumph? Who will be going home after the first round? And will we see any nasty injuries? Join us from 7pm to find out.

The Jump 2015:...

The Jump: Channel 4, 7pm

With Tumble and Splash! both cancelled last year, it's up to The Jump to provide us with celebrity sporting-related light entertainment.

Davina McCall returns to helm the second series, with reality TV heavyweight Joey Essex, Dom from Gogglebox, former X Factor contestants Stacey Solomon and Jb Gill and ex-Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts among the faces taking part.

Top Gear: BBC Two, 8pm

After a year of controversy, the motoring giant returns for the second episode of the 22nd series, and detractors will be sad to know at least another three years are likely.

For the rest of us, however, we get to enjoy Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Captain Slow making another foreign adventure special, the destination this week being the massively wide open Northern Territory of Australia. In between the pranks and mishaps, Kiefer Sutherland is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

We're standing in a hotel in Innsbruck, Austria, and it is just over 24 hours until the very first live show of The Jump. Pleasingly, Dom Parker has lived up to his Gogglebox persona by wandering in with a glass of red wine, but we don't blame him for having a drink - he's been through the wars.

Dom was sent to hospital earlier in the week after he was suspected of having a concussion, but he's on the mend now - although his shoulder's still dodgy (as is Jb Gill's, who admitted he's frustrated he can't give 100% at the moment - though he did joke that none of the other Jls boys would have dared to do the show, with poor Marvin being dubbed the least likely to follow in Jb's footsteps).

But they're not the only contestants feeling the pain. "I fall over about 15 times a day," Phil Tufnell winced.

Joey Essex is training hard for The Jump, and he's certainly feeling the strain...

The reality star failed to land a jump during training, and was convinced that he'd broken a bone in his bum.

The Jump: Everything you need to know about the stars

Obviously in pain, Essex asked producers: "Can you break your bum bones?"

The former Towie star is competing on the winter sports series alongside Jls singer Jb Gill, Made in Chelsea's Louise Thompson and dancer Louie Spence.

Asked what he is most looking forward to about The Jump, he said: "The skeleton, I think, will be good fun. I like things like that. Even as a little kid, on slides I'd always try and go down face first."

He also predicted that he would strike up a friendship out on the slopes with fellow competitor Steve-o, as he's "obviously a complete joker".

The Jump...

Dom Parker has suffered a suspected concussion during The Jump training.

The Gogglebox star was injured while tackling a ski cross course for the Channel 4 series, The Mirror reports.

The 49-year-old is currently resting while doctors monitor his condition and decide whether or not he can continue training.

The incident occurred yesterday (January 26) while he practised at Innsbruck in Austria.

Last year, both Sir Steve Redgrave and Marcus Brigstocke were forced to pull out of the show while training for the ski cross event.

A spokeswoman for the show said: "Dom hurt his shoulder and later showed signs of suspected concussion so was monitored and is now resting up."

Jodie Kidd has already been drafted in as a replacement for Sally Bercow, who was forced to pull out after fracturing two ribs during training.

Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan was also sidelined by injury, and has since been replaced by Chloe Madeley.

The Jump is back this weekend but we have to ask - do these celebrities know what they're getting themselves in for? Two stars have already ruled themselves out after picking up injuries in training - sorry, Ola Jordan and Sally Bercow - but still there are 16 famous faces ready to risk life and limb in pursuit of the coveted Cowbell trophy.
