Strictly Come Dancing is now midway through the series so you can expect all the celebrities to be raising the bar with their next songs and dances.

With Halloween Week and Icons Week behind us, it’s back to normal this Saturday with no set theme for the show.

There are nine celebrities left in the BBC competition. But who is top of the current leaderboard? And what songs and dances will they all be doing this week? Here’s what we know.

Strictly Come Dancing’s current leaderboard

Halloween Week has been and gone and there is now a new ranking in the current leaderboard.

Lewis Cope and his dance partner Katya Jones are at the top after scoring a perfect 40. They performed a Couples’ Choice and Lewis wowed the crowd with some tap dancing. Even Craig Revel Horwood had nothing bad to say!

Karen Carney and Carlos Gu finished the night in second place. They received 38 points for their Argentine Tango.

Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin did a Viennese Waltz on Saturday. They are in joint third place with 35 points. Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe also scored 35 for their Salsa. La Voix and Aljaz Škorjanec got 35 for their Paso Doble, too. La Voix was gobsmacked, as just two weeks ago he received a measly score of 2 from Shirley Ballas.

Vicky Pattison and Kai Widdrington performed an American Smooth. They scored 31. George Clarke and Alexis Warr got 29 marks from the judges for their Cha-cha-cha.

Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon were next on the leaderboard. They got 28 for their Rumba. Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola finished second from the bottom on Saturday night for their Tango, which scored 27.

Finishing Halloween Week in last place was Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Karen Hauer. But although they ended with 26 points, they escaped the dance-off thanks to the public vote.

Ellie and Vito were eliminated after ending up in the dance-off with Balvinder and Julian.

Strictly Come Dancing Week 7: Dances and songs

Nearly all the songs and dances for Week 7 have already been revealed.

Lewis and Karen are doing a Cha-cha-cha this Saturday. The song chosen for them is I Like It Like That by Peter Rodriguez. Karen and Carlos will be performing a Charleston in Week 7. Their song is Upside Down by Diana Ross.

Vicky and Kai will be appealing to all the Swifties out there. They are doing a Tango to The Fate of Ophelia. George and Alexis, meanwhile, are dancing a Viennese Waltz on Saturday. Their song is Somebody To Love by Queen.

Harry and Karen will be shaking their thing and doing a Samba. Funnily enough, their song is Samba De Janeiro by Bellini. Amber and Nikita, meanwhile, are doing a Salsa. Their song is You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) by Sylvester.

Strictly Come Dancing is yet to reveal the remaining three songs and dances. Still to be announced are La Voix and Aljaz’s, Alex and Johannes’ and Balvinder and Julian’s.
