Lacey Turner topped the leaderboard on Strictly Come Dancing’s Halloween night with a 36-point Charleston, and tonight’s results show brings a twist the series has never tried before: a three-way dance-off.

What happens tonight

For the first time in the show’s history, three couples will face the dance-off instead of two. The three couples with the lowest combined judges’ scores and public votes will dance again, and the judges will send one of them home.

At the bottom of the judges’ board are Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita, who led the leaderboard just a week ago, and Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley, both on 25. Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystał were next on 26, but the public vote can change everything.

A Halloween to remember

Delta Goodrem, who was an injury doubt earlier in the week, finished joint third with a 33-point Viennese Waltz to Unchained Melody. John Nellis and Katya Jones were just a point behind the leaders with their Tango.
