“Strictly Come Dancing” 2024 threw down an extra challenge to the remaining couples this week with the Sambathon.

After completing their routines for the week, the couples participated in the Sambathon, where they collected additional points. Tasha Ghouri and her partner Aljaž Škorjanec led with all the scores for their American Smooth, but JB Gill and Lauren Oakley ended up tying with them for first place after winning the Sambathon.

At the bottom of the leaderboard are Pete Wicks and his partner Jowita Przystał who had the lowest score for their routine, which was a Tango this week, and only managed to add 3 points during the Sambathon.

Tonight another couple will leave the competition and it will be between Pete and Jowita, and Jamie Borthwick and his partner Michelle Tsiakkas if the public votes follow the leaderboard scores.

The scores for the evening were:

• JB Gill and Lauren Oakley – 39 + 7 = 46
• Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec – 40 + 6 = 46
• Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe – 37 + 5 = 42
• Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola – 36 + 4 = 40
• Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell – 33 + 1 = 34
• Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas – 32 + 2 = 34
• Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystał – 29 + 3 = 32
