STRICTLY stars Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin has revealed their nerves ahead of the semi-finals despite their perfect score last week.
The pair are one of the remaining couples battling it out for this year's Glitter trophy.
Layton and Nikita received an incredible 40/40 for their Paso Doble.
Hopefully they can top the leaderboard again tonight with their Charleston and Rumba.
Ahead of this evening's episode of Strictly, Nikita said: "Hey guys, a little update, we are knackered, we are tired but it is two dances, it's the semi-finals and long, long hours.
"We are pushing, we're giving everything we can because this week, even if you're on top of the leaderboard you can still go on the bottom two."

"Nervous but hey, let's keep pushing," Nikita finished with.
Motsi Mabuse broke down in tears last week with their sizzling Paso Doble.
"Ooh wow," she said.
Motsi continued: "So ... cool down, it's too hot you know.
"Listen, this is how you come back from a Dance Off. This is ..."
The audience then let out a huge round of applause.
Motsi added: "I have to commend both of you because all of this negativity you have been receiving and to shine on week on week, on week on week.
"Coming back. Never losing yourself.
"Always trying to push the boundaries always trying to do something very different, something very special."
The two are up against Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola, and Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe.
Just hours before the show last week, Nigel Harman had to withdraw from the competition on medical grounds.
