Both couples had to reprise their week three routines in a bid to stay in the competition, with Richie and Giovanni performing their samba to Hakuna Matata from The Lion King before singer and Hits Radio presenter Fleur and Vito re-performed their American Smooth to Part Of Your World from The Little Mermaid.
