Overview
- On Saturday, October 10, live Week 3 performances produced a new leaderboard with Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington leading on 33 points after their salsa and Shaun Wright-Phillips with Alexis Warr bottom on 15 after their quickstep.
- The judges for the series—Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke—recorded the scores that combine with public votes to determine which two couples face a Sunday dance-off.
- Bookmakers have shortened odds on Shaun being the next eliminated, citing his low score, and pundits named him among the couples at risk ahead of the results show.
- Fans reacted strongly online to Shaun’s Week 3 performance, with critical commentary on social platforms such as Reddit increasing pressure on his standing with voters.
- The next stage is the results programme on Sunday, October 11, when the public vote will be revealed, two lowest couples will dance off, and the judges will choose who leaves with Anton holding the deciding vote if needed.
