A Strictly Come Dancing star has been dealt a crushing blow after this week's spoiler leaked the result from a closely fought quarter final on Friday night, with the outcome once again dividing fans.
There was a big change to the Strictly schedule this week when the BBC moved the latest live show of the new series from Saturday to Friday night, to accommodate this weekend's World Cup knockouts coverage. After getting their heads around the change of day, there was plenty for Strictly fans to enjoy as the quarter final took on a Musicals Week theme.
The night got going with a show-stopping musical medley from Strictly pro dancers and a trio of West End stars, which saw last week's eliminated pro Johannes Radebe steal the spotlight as a pink lady for the Grease segment, as Oti Mabuse returned to Strictly to choregraph. The performances from the remaining six couples in contention for the Glitterball trophy this year were also a sight to behold, as Will Mellor and Helen Skelton had to share the top of the leaderboard, after both getting near perfect scores of 39 out of 40.
