Balvinder seizes moment after Hugh boost for semi
Scottish Sunday Express
|December 14, 2025
ACTRESS Balvinder Sopal received a message of support from The Greatest Showman star Hugh Jackman to send her into last night's Strictly performance on a high.
The EastEnders star, 47, performed a sizzling salsa with professional partner Julian Caillon to open the semifinal, to a medley of Gloria Estefan's Rhythm Is Gonna Get You and Get On Your Feet.
They scored 35 out of a maximum 40 points from the panel, with head judge Shirley Ballas saying she was "in shock" at how good it was.
The couple's waltz to At This Moment by Michael Bublé also scored 35, with judge Anton Du Beke praising it as "lovely naturalness" of the performance.
