Strictly Come Dancing has entered its fifth week for its 2024 series, which means the competition is beginning to heat up.
This week's musical selections included She’s Always A Woman To Me by Billy Joel, Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine and You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers.
The remaining 12 couples will be hoping to impress the judges once more and avoid elimination.
With the next pair of dancers set to be eliminated on Sunday night (October 20), here are the current judges' scores and the Strictly leaderboard ahead of the public tally and dance-off.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
