Strictly Come Dancing has entered the semi-final stage of its 2024 series, with five pairings being so close to reaching the final.

Sarah Hadland & Vito Coppola, Tasha Ghouri & Aljaž Škorjanec, JB Gill & Lauren Oakley, Pete Wicks & Jowita Przystał and Chris McCausland & Dianne Buswell are the only duos remaining.

With the competition being in its final stages each couple performed not one but two routines in a bid to impress the judges and audience at home.

Musical choices included Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve and Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin.

With the next pair of dancers set to be eliminated on Sunday night (December 8), here are the current judges' scores and the Strictly leaderboard ahead of the public tally and dance-off.
