Strictly Come Dancing 2025: Who's Out and Who's In?
The latest season of Strictly Come Dancing is underway, and the competition is heating up! Here's a breakdown of the latest results, who's left, and who's in the line-up.
Who's Left?
Vicky Pattison - The former I'm a Celebrity... winner and reality TV star, known for her time on Geordie Shore, was voted off in Week 8 after a clumsy jive with partner Kai Widdrington. She's now focusing on her radio and podcast career.
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey - The Olympic sprinter and Gladiator reboot star faced a dance-off in Week 7, but all judges voted to save his competitor, La Voix. Despite his performance, Harry's competitors' standards were rising.
Ellie Goldstein - The model and actress, who made history as the first model with Down's syndrome on Vogue's cover, was voted off in Week 6. Her partner, Vito Coppola, proved that male pros can be decent people.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink - The ex-footballer and Dutch international was voted off in Week 5, despite receiving his highest score. A shock result, as the judges sent him home after a dance-off against Amber Davies.
Stefan Dennis - The Neighbours star, who played Paul in the soap, withdrew from the competition due to injury on October 20th. A disappointing exit for the third Neighbours star to appear on the show.
Chris Robshaw - The former England rugby captain and rugby player was voted off in Week 5, losing to Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon. He's the ninth rugby player to participate, but none have won the glitterball.
Ross King - The LA correspondent on ITV's Good Morning Britain was voted off in Week 3, ironically, during Movie Week. He lost to Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon in the dance-off.
Thomas Skinner - The former Apprentice contestant was the first to be voted off in Week 2, defeated by Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova in the dance-off.
Kristian Nairn - The Game of Thrones actor and DJ announced his exit on August 21st due to unexpected medical reasons.
