Judge Mark Wilson said of the pair: ‘I look at the performance that took me on a journey the most, then the couple that I would like to put through to the grand finale is… Kyly and Gustavo.’
Todd McKenney disagreed, saying: ‘If I was going to buy a ticket an evening with somebody performing, I’d be buying the ticket for Matty and Ruby’.
It was the vote of Helen Richey which saved Kyly, with the iconic dancer saying she felt the performance in her ‘heart and head’.

She told the pair: ‘I have been dancing since I’ve been five years old, and I let my heart rule my head, but in this case my heart and head agree’.
Matty had recreated a samba number made famous by former contestant Chris Hemsworth during season five back in 2006.
It wasn’t enough to win the judges over, although Todd McKenney believed that the former Bachelor should have been in the finals rather than Kyly.
