Strictly Come Dancing has seen another star depart, with Alex becoming the latest contestant to exit the competition. The decision came after the judges chose to save Balvinder, intensifying the stakes as the show heads towards its grand finale.

This season has featured several format shake-ups, including a new 'dance relay' challenge introduced during Musicals Week. This segment saw couples perform routines inspired by popular musicals, contributing to the ongoing battle for viewer votes.

The grand final is set for December 20, and the competition is becoming increasingly unpredictable. With fewer couples remaining, every performance counts, and the pressure is mounting for the contestants as they vie for the coveted title.
