Strictly Come Dancing has shimmied its way onto our screens for another round of sensational performances - and now we’re giving you the chance to step into the judges shoes.

Week 10 saw the rapidly-improving Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola top the leaderboard with their steamy Argentine Tango, scooping a near-perfect 38 points from the judges. While Shirley Ballas hailed the routine "absolutely outstanding", Anton Du Beke confessed that he thought it "lacked a bit of intensity".

Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell landed in second place on the scoreboard, as they were handed 37 points for their touching Couple’s Choice routine, in memory of Bobby’s mum Jade Goody, who passed away in 2009. The pair danced to 'This Woman's Work' by Maxwell, which Bobby has said is a song close to his heart.

Meanwhile, Annabel Croft and Johannes Radebe received 36 points for their passionate Paso Doble, placing them in third spot. At the other end of the scoreboard was Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu, who achieved 31 points for their lively Cha Cha Cha, and were placed in the dreaded dance-off.

They had to go head-to-head against Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin, with three of the judges opting to save the Everybody's Talking About Jamie star. However, Shirley admitted she would have saved Angela, as she said: "Well important for me always when it comes to Ballroom and Latin is the character of the dance, that it’s true to the dance, timing and quality and I would have voted for Angela and Carlos."

Nigel Harman and Katya Jones finished the weekend in fifth place, just behind Layton, but Coral Bookmakers have revealed the Casualty star is the evens favourite to leave the competition on Saturday. Bobby is also at risk with odds of 7-4, while Annabel sits at 4-1. Spokesperson for Coral Bookmakers, John Hill said: "Nigel was once the favourite to lift the Glitterball Trophy this year but we think he is under the most pressure to survive this weekend. The actor tops the elimination betting ahead of Bobby Brazier."
