Strictly stars gear up for Musicals week as final looms

It's just two weeks to go until the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2025, and things are heating up on the ballroom floor.

Saturday night sees the return of Musicals week, which will feature songs from The Phantom of the Opera and Guys and Dolls, among others.

There will also be a new dance relay performance to open the show, which will see all of the remaining couples take to the floor.

Musicals week will also see some special guest appearances, from Paddington Bear to the cast of hit West End show Titanique.

Last Saturday, Lewis and Katya made Strictly history by winning the first-ever Instant Dance challenge.

Before the challenge, Karen and Amber both scored perfect 40s - it was Karen's first of the series.

It was another strong week for George and Alexis, with judge Craig Revel Horwood telling the pair their Quickstep was "a joy to watch".

But Alex and Johannes didn't fare as well on the leaderboard with their Cha Cha Cha.

Two celebrities ended up in Sunday night's dance off - Balvinder Sopal and Alex Kingston.

And in the end, the judges decided to save Balvinder, meaning Alex became the latest star to exit the contest.
