Ballroom and Latin dancers AJ Pritchard, 18, of Burleydam, and Chloe Hewitt, 17, of No Man's Heath, both near Whitchurch, bowed out in the semi-finals of last night's show.

Millions of viewers watched the pair take on eight other acts live to win a place in the final.

Winning the show would have seen them win the life changing prize of £250,000 and a slot at this year's Royal Variety Performance.

The pair received praise from the judges following their performance, which included dancing to a medley of songs.

Speaking about their performance, which was the last act on yesterday's semi-final, Chloe said: "So many hours, weeks, days have gone into this performance. It paid off."
