GEMMA Atkinson was made to wait before she found out if her and partner Aljaz Skorjanec had made it through to the Halloween special.

The couple received the news during the second round of results by hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.

On hearing the news they were safe Bury-born Gemma shouted: "Yes! Oh thank you!"

The pair received a score of 24 from the three judges this week for their foxtrot and will dance again next Saturday for the Halloween-themed show.

Brian Conley and Amy Dowden were the fourth couple to leave the show this week after they failed to win over the judges with their jive, performed to It’s Not Unusual by Tom Jones.
