Strictly Come Dancing 2017 continues tonight as the remaining 12 couples take to the dancefloor once again.
Last weekend a very emotional Charlotte Hawkins departed the competition with her partner Brendan Cole, after losing the dance-off to Davood Ghadami and his partner Nadiya Bychkova. The third couple to leave the competition, Charlotte and Brendan had an interesting journey that saw Brendan frequently clash with the judges over their critique.
Alexandra Burke and her partner Gorka Marquez topped the leaderboard and scored the first 10s of the series. With a score of 39 out of 40 for their Jive, there’s a lot of pressure on the couple to maintain their impressively high standard.
