Strictly Come Dancing returns tonight, with nine couples taking to the ballroom floor with their week 7 songs and dances, as the race to Blackpool heats up.

It’s one couple fewer than expected, after Jaime Winstone tore an abdominal muscle in rehearsals. In line with the show’s rules, she and her professional partner Carlos Gu have a bye through to next week.

Strictly’s Remembrance Sunday tribute

Sunday’s results show will mark Remembrance Sunday with a special group routine from the professional dancers.

The performance is inspired by the Monument to the Women of World War II in London’s Whitehall, and pays tribute to the women whose lives were upended by the war.

Set against a 1940s backdrop, the routine opens with soldiers leaving for war, before turning to the women left behind, from pre-war glamour to the practical clothes they wore as millions joined the workforce.

Who left Strictly last week?

Last weekend’s Halloween special ended with the show’s first-ever triple dance-off, as three couples battled to stay in the competition.

Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystał faced Jaime and Carlos, and Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu, with the judges unanimously deciding to send Lawrence and Jowita home.

Who is at risk of leaving Strictly this week?

Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu are the bookies’ favourites to leave this weekend, after surviving last week’s triple dance-off.

Betfred has cut their odds from 5/4 to 4/7 since Jaime’s injury took one of the other at-risk couples out of the running this week.

Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin are now second favourites at 11/2, with Betfred’s Robert Ford saying Dani is “at a big threat of elimination”.

Will Best and Dianne Buswell (6/1) and Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby (7/1) are also among the couples at risk.

Why Jaime Winstone isn’t dancing this week

It’s been a tough few weeks for Jaime, with her injury coming just days after she survived her third dance-off of the series.

The actress said she was “absolutely devastated” to miss tonight’s show, after doctors advised her to rest.

She isn’t the first star to get a bye this series. Delta Goodrem missed Icons Week in October with a rib injury, before returning to the competition the following weekend.
