The Tower Ballroom in Blackpool hosted the 8 remaining Strictly Come Dancing 2017 couples during last night’s live show.
The annual trip to Blackpool delivered with even more spectacle and fanfare than normal. The routines were more showy, the atmosphere super-charged and the couples dancing with every ounce of passion they had.
Alexandra Burke and her partner Gorka Marquez topped the leaderboard once again after wowing with their very classy quickstep. Nipping at their heels were Gemma Atkinson & Aljaz Skorjanec who were behind by only one point.
At the bottom of the leaderboard was Susan Calman and her partner Kevin Clifton, who recreated the Paso Doble from Strictly Ballroom.
The leaderboard for the evening was:
Alexandra Burke & Gorka Marquez – 39
Gemma Atkinson & Aljaž Škorjanec – 38
Davood Ghadami & Nadiya Bychkova – 35
Alexandra Burke & Gorka Marquez – 39
Debbie McGee & Giovanni Pernice – 33

Jonnie Peacock & Oti Mabuse – 26
Susan Calman & Kevin Clifton – 25
