Strictly Come Dancing 2023 leaderboard: Week 1 scores and results
Here’s all the marks and scores from the leaderboard of Week 1 of Strictly Come Dancing 2023 tonight.
This Saturday night saw the 15 couples performing live for the very first time this year fresh from last week’s launch show.
The Strictly judges – made up of Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke – all offered their feedback.
The judges marked all of the routines out of 40 as always and at the end of the weekend we saw lows of 16 and highs of 32.
After all the celebrity and pro couples had performed, actor Nigel Harman was in poll position on the leaderboard. At the bottom was TV personality Les Dennis after his Tango.
As ever, there was no public vote or elimination this first weekend but the judges’ scores will be taken forward to next week to help determine which acts are in the bottom two.
The scores will be combined with the first viewer vote this series. Then it’ll be up to the panel to decide which celeb stays and who will be the first to leave the competition.
For now, recap the first week scoreboard below…
