BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans say 'enough' over Molly and Carlos' final showdance reveal as star speaks out on 'low points'

Strictly Come Dancing fans say they've had 'enough' just days before the final. Fans of the BBC One show watched on Sunday as five couples took to the ballroom floor twice in the semi-final of the dance contest.

And after fighting for a place in the hit competition's final, the results were revealed on Monday night (December 12), despite being recorded straight after the first-ever Sunday live show. It was revealed that Molly Rainford, Hamza Yassin and Helen Skelton had made it to the final alongside their professional dancers.

And it was Will Mellor and Fleur East who were forced to go head-to-head in a bid to stay in the competition and bag the last place in the final. Will and dance partner Nancy Xu reperformed their couple's choice to a 90s Manchester-inspired megamix while Fleur and her dance partner Vito Coppolo chose to dance their Charleston to Tu Vuo' Fa L'Americano by Fiorello.

It was then over to the judges to decide who they wanted to save and with three votes to one, it was Fleur and Vito who got the fourth place in Saturday's grand final while Will and Nancy became the eleventh couple to be eliminated. Despite the sadness of Will's exit, the remaining couples were asked to react to the news of their final position by Claudia Winkleman.

Carlos was in tears as he spoke about getting to the Strictly final with Molly during his first year as a professional dancer on the programme. It was then revealed that for their showdance on Saturday night (December 17), the pair will perform to a megamix which featuring the classic Prince track, Kiss.

However, the reveal of another megamix, following Will's this weekend and others in previous weeks of the three-month-long competition, Strictly fans flocked to social media and said it was 'enough'. @marksiddall84 tweeted: "ENOUGH WITH THE MEGAMIXES #scd #strictly."

@scottyjotty said: "Please, not another megamix. I beg #Strictly." But @strictlyblog argued: "Molly and Carlos are doing a Prince mega mix showdance? Totally worth them getting through! #strictly."

Meanwhile, Molly has addressed her 'low points' in the competition as she spoke about making it to the final. Sharing pictures from the semi-final and of them celebrating becoming finalists with their loved one in the ballroom, the 21-year-old typed: "Words can't describe this feeling.

"Nobody understands just how grateful we are to not only be Strictly Come Dancing 2022 FINALISTS but to get to that place in the final all thanks to your support and votes. It means the absolute world. Thank you so so much!"

She went on: "From day 1 I dreamt of going all the way to the final with @gkx_carlos I thought that if I could be his first partner ever and get him there it would be a memory we would never forget. With all the knockbacks we've had in this competition that dream started to look a lot harder to accomplish. But that song and that Paso doble in particular really showed just how strong as a partnership we have become. Taking the low points, using them as motivation and never giving up.

"Carlos you truly are incredible. Thank you for believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. So glad we were partnered together all those months ago, I couldn't have done any of this without you."

The singer and CBBC star ended her post: "This is the final push and I cannot wait. @bbcstrictly I promise to leave my heart out on that dance floor. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU."
