The remaining 12 couples on Strictly Come Dancing are heading back to the dance floor with a rather eclectic mix of routines for week 5.

During last week’s tense ballroom battle, Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin returned to the top of the leaderboard after a stunning routine to Million Dollar Bill by Whitney Houston.

Last week’s champ and member of the Virgin Radio family, Angela Scanlon slipped all the way down to 10th place. Having danced the Viennese Waltz with her professional partner Carlos Gu, she later sent our own Graham Norton an exclusive voice-note, saying: “Honestly, this dance for me was a real challenge. It's very inward looking, and very intimate and gentle, and those are not necessarily words that I would use to describe myself.”

Whilst Angela dropped down the rankings, she avoided the dance-off, which was between Jody Cundy and Eddie Kadi, with the paralympian eventually being sent home.

The celebs will hope to avoid that dreaded dance-off and aiming for 10s all round with the following routines for week five.
