In a change to the format, the judges will make the final decision on who will leave the competition on Sundays. When the programme closes on Saturday night viewers will continue to vote for their favourite couple for one hour following the end of the programme. The phone lines will then close and the votes will be counted and verified.

When the show returns on Sunday evening the results will be announced with the viewers' vote and the judges' scores combining to save the couples. The bottom two couples will then face a dance–off leaving the judges to decide – based solely on that performance alone – who should stay and who should go.

If the judges' vote is split 50/50 then head judge Len Goodman will have the deciding vote on who should be saved.
