Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard: Who is topping the leaderboard for week 8?

BBC Strictly’s Angela Rippon shares insight into training

The competition is heating up for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing contestants who have reached week eight of this year’s series.

Last week, fans will recall soap star Adam Thomas was sent home in the dreaded dance-off against Angela Rippon, 79.

Coronation Street star Ellie Leach topped the leaderboard last weekend with a near perfect score of 39 out of a possible 40 points from the judges for her American Smooth.

Express.co.uk will be sharing all of the scores for week eight below.

Will Ellie top the leaderboard once again, or will another couple outshine her in front of the judges, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke?
