Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard: Who is topping the leaderboard this week?
BBC Breakfast: Bobby Brazier on his fitness after Strictly
Strictly Come Dancing’s remaining couples will be taking to the floor tonight for another chance to secure their place in the BBC competition. Just hours before the show, it was announced actor Nigel Harman and his dance partner Katya Jones had to leave the show after he suffered an injury.
This means only four couples remain, all of whom will be hoping to impress the judges in tonight’s show. Last week, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola topped the leaderboard with 38 points following their Argentine Tango, but will they be able to do it again?
Could tonight’s Musicals’ Week finally see the hotly-anticipated score of 40 being awarded? With only a few couples remaining, everyone is feeling the pressure.
Amazingly, no score of 40 has yet been achieved by this group of contestants, with strict judge Craig Revel Horwood yet to award a 10. Time is almost up though as the weeks go on, and musicals week could be the perfect setting for the achievement.
Where will each be placed on the leaderboard? With Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell, Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe, Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola and Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin all so close to the finish line, who will stand out tonight?

This week, they will be performing a Salsa to ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life’ from Dirty Dancing. Will they leave the judging panel stunned once again?
