James and Oliver’s Space Challenge

In week seven James and Oliver’s dance had to be based around ‘space’.

The previous week the dance captains had made comments on the fact that James and Oliver needed to be ‘tighter’ in their routine.

After spending all week working on their space challenge the pair managed to win back the hearts of the captains and the public as they were put through to the live final.
