This week was the big one as this year's celebrities and their professional partners took to the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom stage, a highlight of the Strictly schedule.

The show was full of the usual glitz and glamour at Blackpool to mark the occasion with an extra special Blackpool link as the Pet Shop Boys performed on the Sunday.

Opera singer Wynne Evans has become the eighth star to leave this year's Strictly Come Dancing after his charleston failed to impress the judges.

Only seven couples now remain, but who will be next to leave the competition...?

Don’t forget that Strictly Come Dancing Live is coming to Utilita Arena Sheffield on 21 January 2025! You won’t want to miss seeing these incredible routines performed live, so grab your tickets to join the magic in person.
