Since defying the bookies' odds by making the semi-finals and placing fifth overall, Mollie has gotten an endorsement deal with Boux Avenue, a feature on The Crystal Maze's 2017 Christmas Special, and most importantly her temporary turned permanent BBC Radio 1 show. Music may be on the back burner for her at the moment, but she has undoubtedly benefitted from her stint on the show. There were many varying opinions around Mollie's performance on the show itself, and we've captured the Sats forum's thoughts in the rate results below. It's clear that everyone rated based on something different, with some focusing more on technique, some on emotional connection, some on showmanship, and some on overall visual appeal. Mollie seemed to walk that line of "almost there" nearly all season, but which dances stood out above the rest?

Good Golly Miss Molly (Jive) 5.71 Average It's no surprise that Mollie's Jive, her first dance on the show, came in at last place. There was a mixed reaction to her first performance, wish some members pleasantly surprised and others predicting an early elimination. Watching this again after all the progress she made, she did sort of look like Bambi on ice.

Whenever, Wherever (Samba) 5.86 Average Up next in the second to last position is Mollie's Samba which was quite frankly a mess This is the dance that ultimately did her in. I was excited about the song choice and there are some good moments here, but it's no secret that Latin isn't Mollie's strength. Mollie was lucky she didn't get the Samba earlier in the competition because she may have gotten out quite a bit sooner.

It was a decent dance and Mollie brought the fierceness needed for a Paso Doble. This was undoubtedly UNDERMARKED. While it could've been a lot tighter, a 22 is ridiculous. It worked in Mollie's favor, however, as the public felt bad for her and saved her from the dance off after two consecutive weeks in.

Better The Devil You Know (Cha Cha) 6.80 Average Ah, the dance that landed Mollie in the bottom two for the first time. This was a fun dance but was underwhelming and didn't live up to the potential of Halloween Week. Mollie seemed only half present and AJ's overacting didn't make up for it. Fortunately for these two, they were up against Simon & Karen who had only managed a 16 that week.
