Fans of are adamant they've spotted a clue bosses are after one couple to leave the show.

and remain among the favourites to be eliminated this weekend and the duo were chosen to go second on Saturday. They performed their Samba routine during Movie Week, but came out with low scores in her The Little Mermaid-inspired offering.
