Strictly Come Dancing: Shaun Wright-Phillips favourite to leave after finishing bottom of leaderboard

Tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing results show is set to see Shaun Wright-Phillips leave the competition.

• Shaun Wright-Phillips is favourite to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing tonight after scoring just 15 points with professional partner Alexis Warr in Week Three.
• Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington topped the leaderboard with 33 points, earning the highest score of the series so far with their salsa.
• Tonight’s results show begins at 7.10pm, with the remaining couples facing the possibility of elimination before next week’s Icons-themed performances.

Shaun Wright-Phillips is facing an anxious wait ahead of tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing results show after finishing bottom of the Week Three leaderboard with professional partner Alexis Warr.

The former footballer received just 15 points for his latest performance, putting him firmly at the foot of the rankings and making him the favourite to leave the BBC dance competition.

With the results set to be revealed at 7.10pm tonight, Shaun and Alexis will be hoping they have done enough to remain in the competition for another week. However, their position at the bottom of the leaderboard leaves them under pressure as the remaining couples wait to discover their fate.

While the judges’ scores have placed the pair in a difficult position, the leaderboard alone does not determine who will be eliminated. The results show will reveal which couples must face the consequences of this week’s performances and which will secure their place in the next round.

Shaun Wright-Phillips at risk after scoring just 15 points

Shaun and Alexis endured a difficult night on the dancefloor, finishing with the lowest score of the 14 competing couples.

Their total of 15 points left them two points behind Melanie Walters and Aljaz Skorjanec, who scored 17, while three other couples finished on 20 points.

The result puts Shaun in a precarious position ahead of the public vote and tonight’s elimination announcement. With the competition becoming increasingly demanding, the former footballer’s hopes of progressing to next week’s show will depend on whether the pair have secured enough support to keep their Strictly journey alive.

Although Shaun is currently favourite to leave based on the leaderboard standings, the final outcome remains to be seen until the results are announced.

The results show will also determine which couples progress to the next themed week, with the surviving celebrities preparing to take on the Icons challenge.

Delta Goodrem storms to the top of the Strictly leaderboard

At the opposite end of the rankings, Australian singer Delta Goodrem enjoyed another successful week alongside professional partner Kai Widdrington.

The pair topped the Week Three leaderboard after their salsa earned an impressive 33 points from the judges, securing the highest total of the series so far.

Dressed in silver disco-inspired outfits, Delta and Kai received scores of 8, 9, 8 and 8, giving them a two-point advantage over the couples tied in second place.

It was also the second consecutive week that the pair finished at the top of the leaderboard, strengthening Delta’s position in the competition as the celebrities prepare for another demanding round of performances.

Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita, and Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby, both scored 31 points to share second place, while Jamie Winstone and Carlos Gu finished fourth with 28.

However, despite Delta’s success, the focus ahead of tonight’s results show will be on the couples at the other end of the rankings, particularly Shaun and Alexis as they wait to discover whether their scores will cost them a place in the competition.

What time is the Strictly Come Dancing results show tonight?

Strictly Come Dancing returns at 7.10pm tonight for the latest results show, when the couples will discover who has secured a place in next week’s competition.

The remaining contestants will be hoping to make it through to the Icons-themed week, which will challenge them to take inspiration from some of the most recognisable names in music and entertainment.

The programme will also feature a professional group performance designed to settle the debate over whether ballroom or Latin dancing is best. Shirley and Anton will go head-to-head in the special dance battle, while singer Jalen Ngonda will provide the musical entertainment.

Two couples will also be required to perform again as they compete for the final remaining place in the competition, adding another layer of tension to the evening.

For Shaun and Alexis, the results show represents a crucial moment. After finishing bottom of the leaderboard with just 15 points, they will be hoping to avoid becoming the next couple to leave the ballroom.

Will Shaun Wright-Phillips and Alexis Warr be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing tonight, or can they defy the odds and make it through to Icons Week? Viewers will find out when the results are revealed at 7.10pm.
