When it comes to who makes it to the dance-off, only this week’s performance counts – so past glories (or disasters) are left at the door.

Still, it never hurts to see who’s actually bossing the dancefloor.

Our tally shows a dead heat at the top: two couples are currently sitting pretty in the champion spot for average score. Lewis and Katya, and Amber and Nikita, both have an average of 34.0 points since week one.

Snapping at their heels in third are Alex and Johannes, with an average of 31.6 points.

Bringing up the rear among the surviving couples, it’s La Voix and Aljaž, with a 25.6 score average.

Sadly, La Voix will not be performing this week due to injury so that average will remain the same going into week 10.
