Strictly Come Dancing: Week ten leaderboard in full

Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin have ended this week’s Strictly Come Dancing performance show at the top of the judges’ leaderboard.

For the first time on Strictly, a new bonus round – the ‘Instant Dance’ – was introduced after the couples had performed their main routines, offering an opportunity to earn from one to six points extra.

Davies and Kuzmin’s perfect 40 combined with four for their Instant Samba to put them top, while Karen Carney and Carlos Gu also had a perfect 40 but finished last with their Instant Cha-Cha-Cha, earning just one point.

Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe had a week to forget, with a total of just 26 points for their Cha-Cha-Cha – including a four from Craig Revel Horwood – and a middling 3 points for their Instant Rumba.
