Strictly Come Dancing: Who was your favourite this week?

strictly-contestants.

Strictly was back for another action-filled show on Saturday night, with the remaining couples taking to the famous dance floor to strut their stuff in a bid to impress the expert judges.

Judi Love and her pro partner Graziano Di Prima had to pull out of this weekend's programme after the comedian tested positive for coronavirus, so just 10 celebrities performed this week.

However, former rugby player Ugo and his partner Oti made a return after he was forced to miss last week's show because of an injury.

It was Dan Walker who kicked off Saturday night's episode. Dan and his professional partner Nadiya danced a Viennese waltz to his wife's favourite song, She's Always A Woman by Billy Joel.

Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty and his professional partner Katya Jones performed a colourful samba, followed by Dragon's Den star Sara Davies' rumba.

Tom Fletcher and his partner Amy Dowden danced the salsa to Harry Style's Watermelon Sugar which earned him his highest score in the competition so far.

John and Johannes topped the leader board this week

Tilly Ramsay and her professional partner Nikita impressed with their foxtrot, scoring straight 9's from all the judges.

The 19-year-old presenter spoke out against a presenter who criticised her appearance on his radio show earlier this week.

"I won't tolerate people that think it's okay to publicly comment and scrutinise someone's weight and appearance," she shared on social media.

Tilly's foxtrot was followed by presenter AJ Odudu's Argentine tango to Edge Of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks. The dance earned a standing ovation and a 10 from head judge Shirley Ballas.

Former rugby player Ugo Monye made his return to the competition with the rumba. He said it was great to be back after missing a week.

Sadly the judges weren't won over by his moves and his score of 20 (3-6-5-6) left him bottom of the leader board.

John Whaite and his dance partner Johannes Radebe danced the Charleston which ended with the former Bake Off winner pushing a pie into his dance partner's face!

Well it was worth it, because they scored a massive 38 points (9-9-10-10) that put them in top position.

The judges were impressed by Rose and Giovanni

Eastenders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice were next on the floor with a Viennese waltz to the Alicia Keys song Fallin'.

Their dramatic routine impressed the judges and they picked up 37 point (9-10-9-9) to take second place.

And, the night ended with an American Smooth performed by CBBC's Rhys Stephenson and his professional partner Nancy Xu.

Straight 8's, a collective 32, from the judges put a smile on his face!
