Strictly Come Dancing fans were left heartbroken by this week’s spoiler, after being kept waiting for the result for the second week in a row, with some hitting out at a ‘ridiculous’ outcome.
After two consecutive theme weeks on the BBC show, it was back to normal for all involved as pressure on the remaining couples ramped up once more. And it was another high scoring one too, especially for now bookies favourite Hamza Yassin, with the wildlife photographer topping the Strictly leaderboard outright with a score of 38 out of 40. Nipping at the heels of him and pro partner Jowita Przystal were Kym Marsh and Graziano Di Prima and Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez, who both landed personal bests of 37.
They weren’t the only couples tied on scores either as the middle of the leaderboard curse threatened to strike again with Fleur East, fresh from her second dance-off and Mollie both getting 35 and Ellie Simmonds and Will Mellor each earning a total of 33.
