Strictly Come Dancing – live: Celebrities prepare for elimination as viewer vote returns

Strictly Come Dancing week two is upon us – and it’ll be a tense one for the celebrities as one star will not be making it through.

The first two weeks of the BBC competition have eased this year’s crop of stars in to proceedings, with a launch show, in which the contestants were partnered with their respective professional, and a first week of dances that saw nobody eliminated.

However, this week, the judges’ scores from last week will roll over and will then be combined with the viewer vote, meaning two couples will have to take part in the dreaded dance-off during Sunday’s results show (29 September).

Out of the 15 couples who danced, the leaderboard was topped with 31 points by JLS star JB Gill and Amy Dowden, who made a triumphant return to Strictly after being too ill to compete in last year’s series as she was recovering from treatment for stage three breast cancer.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale is punk-rock singer Toyah Willcox, who scored 12 out of 40, and former Arsenal player Paul Merson, who receivedjust 17 for his American Smooth to the football anthem “Vindaloo”.

While nobody was eliminated from last week’s Strictly, that doesn’t mean the episode has no bearing on what occurs tonight.

The judges’ scores will roll over and be combined with whatever the celebrities manage to get tonight.

With this in mind, here’s how the leaderboard currently stands.
