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.
