Tonight’s episode will include an additional, never-before-seen special feature Strictly since 2018.

It seems simple enough and yet it can so easily descend into chaos. Dance-a-thons are a regular feature of real-world dance competitions and championships and involve all couples dancing (in this case, doing a samba) at the same time. The judges will then eliminate the couples one by one until only the winners remain. Basically, it’s exactly the same as the dance competition in Fat.

And it’s not just for fun. The couples’ ranking will be converted into points and added to their scores, so the Samba-thon has the potential to change the ranking.

Viewers were conflicted over the judges’ score on last week’s show.

Judge Craig Revel-Horwood awarded TOWIE star Pete Wicks a brutal score of four, which left some viewers angry. Others, however, thought it was fair.

Last week was Blackpool Week, which saw the departure of opera singer Wynne Evans and her partner Katya Jones.

Meanwhile, Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec retained their position at the top of the rankings for the third week in a row with their Paso Doble. They were joined at the top of the leaderboard by Hadland and Vito Coppola who also scored 39 points for their performance.

Right behind them was comedian Chris McCausland who achieved his highest score of the series for his American Smooth to Paul Anka’s “Jump”, which left his professional partner Dianne Buswell in tears of joy.

At the other end of the scale was Pete Wicks who scored 27 points for his Cha Cha to Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy.”

The reality star was praised for insulating her upper body. However, his “entertaining” hip action left the judges in fits of laughter.

Can Ghouri, Hadland and McCausland maintain their places in the top three this week?

Here are all the songs and dances from week 10 of the competition:

Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe will dance a Quickstep to “Get Happy” by Ella Fitzgerald.

Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec will dance an American Smooth to “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi.
