The Strictly Come Dancing results show is on BBC One tonight at 7.10pm – and after last night’s week 7 scores, two couples look most at risk of the dance-off. Dani Dyer and Nikita topped the leaderboard with 36 for their American Smooth, while Cach Mercer and Maddie finished bottom on 26.

Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu did not dance after Jaime tore an abdominal muscle, so they are safe this week and return next Saturday.

Who is in danger tonight?

Cach and Maddie’s waltz and John Nellis and Katya’s salsa share bottom spot on 26, so both will be relying on the public vote. Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu were in last week’s three-way dance-off and sit mid-table on 30 – but as last week showed, the judges’ scores are only half the story.

At the top, Dani Dyer’s American Smooth to It Had To Be You earned the night’s only 10, from Motsi Mabuse. Olympian Tabby Stoecker’s Paso Doble to Muse came second on 33.
