Strictly Come Dancing’s fifth live show of the series hit BBC One on Saturday evening, with the 12 couples set to face the third public vote of the series.
The celebrities were forced to up their game as the show celebrated 100 years of the BBC with a special themed week, as the couples danced to some of the most loved tracks from the channels iconic programmes.
Helen Skelton was lauded for her ‘phenomenal’ performance as she came in joint top place with Hamza Yassin, with them both scoring an impressive 35 points, but sadly Tony Adams’ multiple missteps caused him to come in bottom place with 19.

Speaking ahead of the show, he said: ‘Saturday night, what can I say, I blinked, I opened by eyes and everyone was going bonkers there was some amazing comments from the judges.
‘I really want to do well in this dance just to show the rest of the world how much mother nature means to me. ‘
