The competition is continuing to heat up on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing as the 2025 edition of the long-running series races towards its halfway point. And, as we saw last week, anything can happen in Strictly, which can leave a fan-favorite couple facing the Dance-Off.
Movies Week saw Lewis and Katya take the spot spot on the Leaderboard with a thrilling Paso Doble styled as Zorro. It also saw Ross and Jowita leave the competition after a tense Dance-Off with Balvinder and Julian, who made a surprise appearance in the Dance-Off. But the Glitterball Trophy is still up for grabs as the 12 couples return to the Dancefloor for a host of new fabulous routines this week.
With that in mind, here are all the Strictly spoilers you need to know, including the results and scores from the Week 4 Saturday Night show.
Strictly spoilers and results: Week 4 Leaderboard
Shirley Ballas called this one of the strongest Week 4s she has ever seen and she's certainly not wrong. Granted, some of the scoring was a little bit questionable, but the routines were stunning.
Jimmy and Ellie wowed the judges with their respective Couples Choice performances, telling their emotional stories through their beautiful routines. Amber provided a powerful and captivating Argentine Tango with Nikita while George Clarke did the same with the traditional Tango with Alexis Warr. Stefan Dennis returned to the ballroom this week with a thrilling character-driven Charleston while Balvinder Sopal bounced back from the Week 3 Dance-Off with a powerful Paso Doble.
The best performance of the night, however, went to Alex Kingston as she and partner Johannes stunned with a beautiful Rumba that had Shirley - a.k.a. the Rumba Queen - both on her feet and in tears. It was a true moment that really highlighted that Alex is one to watch in the competition.
With that in mind, here are all of the dances and the scores that they received from the judges, as well as the overall Leaderboard we were left with at the end of the Saturday Night show.
- Alex and Johannes danced the Rumba - 8, 9, 10, 9 = 36
- Lewis and Katya danced the Foxtrot - 8, 9, 9, 8 = 34
- Amber and Nikita danced the Argentine Tango - 8, 9, 8, 8 = 33

- George and Alexis danced the Tango - 7, 8, 7, 8 = 30
- Jimmy and Lauren danced their Couples Choice - 6, 8, 7, 8 = 29
- Vicky and Kai danced the Samba - 7, 7, 7, 8 = 29
- Balvinder and Julian danced the Paso Doble - 7, 7,l 7, 7, = 28
- Karen and Carlos danced the Quickstep - 6, 7, 7, 7, = 27

Who is in danger on Strictly Come Dancing 2025 Week 4?
It's safe to say that this is indeed one of the highest standards of Week 4 we have ever seen on Strictly. That makes calling who will go home that much harder, especially as there are only really 12 points between the highest and lowest scoring couples (La Voix's even lower score of 14 is down to the mistakes that she made, which obviously suggests that she would have also been at least around the mid 20s if the routine had gone more smoothly).
The couples at the top of the Leaderboard are obviously safe as houses. It would take a very specific combination of the public vote and the judges' scores to land them in the Dance-Off and it's unlikely that this result would happen as early as Week 4 - especially as Alex is top of the Leaderboard and it's pretty clear that she is a fan-favorite.
The one thing to pay attention to is the ties on the Leaderboard. There are two of them, and that means there is less points between the couples at the top and the couples at the bottom than there would be in an ordinary week without ties (the person at the bottom has 3 points from the judges instead of 1 due to the ways that the Leaderboard is calculated). That could allow some of the lower-scoring couples to escape the Dance-Off. It also puts some of the couples in the middle in a much more vulnerable spot.
Taking that into account, we're going to predict that La Voix and Aljaž will escape the Dance-Off. Even though they are currently at the bottom of the Leaderboard, there was a lot of outcry over the harsh marking that their dance received and the ties make it easier for them to escape. That leaves couples who performed well on the night but attained lower scores in a more vulnerable position. And with that, we're predicting a Harry and Karen vs. Chris and Nadiya Dance-Off.
Stay tuned!
