Karim Zeroual topped this week’s Strictly Come Dancing scores but who will be heading home in this weekend’s results?
It was the Quarter Finals on Strictly Come Dancing this week and one more celebrity will be going this Sunday.
And after Saturday’s latest musical themed dances there isn’t an obvious favourite to be packing their bags.
This weekend, November 30 and December 1, the remaining five celebs and pro couples performed live once more.
As always judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood marked all of the performances out of 40 as the competition got ever closer to this month’s final.
After appearing in the bottom two last week – where it was Saffron Barker who left Strictly – Karim made an epic comeback on Saturday. His Jive to You Can’t Stop the Beat from Hairspray had all the judges, even Craig, on their feet.
Shirley described it as a “flawless performance” while Bruno claimed it was the best Jive Strictly had seen, leading to the first perfect score of 40 of the series.
Just behind Karim were Emma Barton and Kelvin Fletcher, who both scored 39 points.
Kelvin danced an American Smooth to Gaston from Beauty and the Beast which Shirley branded “outstanding on so many levels” – but Craig had complaints over the timing.
Emma’s Charleston to Thoroughly Modern Millie from Thoroughly Modern Millie saw her highest marks yet, with Craig describing it as “fab-u-lous”.
At the other end of the leaderboard, Chris Ramsey’s Foxtrot to Consider Yourself from Oliver! scored 28 points with Bruno saying that Chris “nailed the character” but the Foxtrot itself needed to be “more refined”.
Meanwhile, Alex Scott’s hip-hop themed Samba to Joyful Joyful from Sister Act split the judges. Scoring 27 points, Craig and Motsi loved the routine but Shirley and Bruno both wanted to see more Samba content.

The judges’ scores will now be combined with the viewer votes to determine the bottom two dancers.
Those who are left in the bottom two once viewer votes are added to the judges’ scores will face the dance off on Sunday night.
