Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One tonight (October 24) at 6.30pm for its fifth live show, with the remaining couples battling for a place in week six. The episode will run until 8.35pm, after which the public vote will open ahead of Sunday's results show.
Dame Sarah Storey Eliminated
Last week's Icons Week saw Dame Sarah Storey and her partner Julian Caillon become the third couple voted out, following a dance-off against Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu. The judges Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse all chose to save Bethany and Nancy, while head judge Shirley Ballas admitted she would have done the same had she been required to vote.
The remaining couples now hope to secure their place in week six as they perform new routines in the ballroom.
