Nottingham boxing icon Carl Froch narrowly missed going home on this week's Tumble despite receiving top scores from the judges.
The super-middleweight champion went head -to-head against former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan in this week's live semi-final.
He scored a total of 63.5 from the judges on this week's show putting him third overall.
However when the judges' score and a public vote were tallied, Froch was left in the bottom two up against Peter on the vault.
In spite of the tension, his execution and moves were enough to impress Nadia Comaneci who picked him to stay for next week's grand final.
She said: "Carl's vault was half in, half out, it was a more difficult vault and he basically had a perfect landing."
This week the stars were asked to perform a floor routine with the partners and then a solo routine on either the parallel bars or swings.
Froch and pro-partner Sita Bhuller performed an intimate routine inspired by 80s film classic An Officer and a Gentleman.
Ahead of the performance he said: "It's hard to be lovey- dovey romantic character when you're doing quite heavy lifts.
"I'm not very comfortable with it."
Any nerves fizzled away on the night.
Winking to the camera beforehand, he showed off an impressive set of moves including front pike somersaults, overhead lifts and a one armed stretch.
Sita then lay a sailor's shirt across his shoulders before Froch carried her away in his arms.
His effort made a huge impression with all the judges, earning him 33 points.
Sebastien Stella said: "Today you were supporting her in her tricks and you were starring in your own tricks and that requires a lot of talent to do that."
Louis Smith, who had been critical in previous weeks, added: "Carl, you've improved so much.
"You're a boxer but you actually acted out that routine and it was brilliant."
The biggest praise came from Craig Heap.
He said: "You're really smart, you listen to what you've been told.
"Seb was on about he said you want to become more of an actor, you've nailed that, Louis wanted more style, you've nailed that, and Nadia wanted a front pike somersault off somebody else and you nailed that. Knockout."
His performance on the bars kept him in third place with a performance featuring a back planche, upward circle, handstand and shoulder roll.
While judge Craig Heap remarked that he looked like he "ran out of steam" during the routine, Froch still managed to earn 30.5.
Next week's show is the Grand Final where the remaining celebrities will perform on the trapeze and be kept in based entirely on public vote.
