Here we are in week 5 and again it’s been another eventful week or so in the land of Strictly. Brendan has had to withdraw from this week due to ill health and therefore Anastacia will be dancing with Gorka instead. And Laura and Giovanni have taken a bye into next week due to Laura injuring her ankle and will not be dancing tonight.
But for Anastacia and Gorka and the 9 other remaining couples, the spookiness of Halloween week next week is just one (or possibly two) dances away. Who shone for you this week? And who should be sent packing?

Show has just started…with Judge Rinder …excellent scores…
I feel like the judges favour Daisy. And she gets away with more by being tall. Very unfair on Claudia!
Not sure why, but I just don’t think the show had it’s usual sparkle this week. And, sorry, but I just can’t warm to Ore. I know he’s become a good dancer but the trembling bottom lip and wide-eyed ‘surprise’ at the judges comments is really beginning to grate with me. Thought Anastasia was much better this week – and do like Greg and Natalie so hope he survives this week.
Agree about Ore. Can’t cope any more with his blubbering.
Agreed! I was moved the first time he got upset, now it’s beginning to grate a little… and I love G&N! He struggled but I think he’s got more to offer.
Agree and don’t think Daisy is marked high enough
What a strange week. I think Anastacia was amazing with Gorka. Robert was good, Greg, Claudia, Lesley and Ed all struggled.
I felt very sorry for Claudia this week and I’m glad Len had a word with Aj, Aj is probably trying to impress and show off but seems to forget that dance is not so natural for Claudia!
I don’t think the judges take judge Rinder seriously and I feel he is consistently under marked.
Love this page ?
Some surprisingly good routines, others that didn’t really live up to their potential and some great entertainment. But 3 dancers – Danny, Ore & Louise – do seem to be edging ahead of the field, although Louise hasn’t found her ‘wow’ factor yet.
Love the judge . Felt Aj pushing CLaudia round floor far to fast, think Danny brilliant , and Craig just a bit too mean with his scores
Gosh AJ was a bit wild tonight! I’d blame it on adrenalin but the speed of that song has a lot to do with it. Well done to Claudia for handling it professionally despite her best not working out. I really felt for her!
Loved the show especially ore and jo they were great again as were danny and oti. Ore seems very genuine to me and its lovely to see. Great to see anastasia looking and dancing so well… fantastic night
I really thought Ed was going to drop Katya during the final lift of their routine. Then after the dance when he did the ‘I will show you I can do this lift’ I thought he was going to drop her again! Full marks to him though for his continuing effort, full marks to Katya for not loosing her wonderful smile when it looked like she was going to partner with the floor!
