Strictly Week 4: Stefan Dennis Returns as Alex Kingston Lands First Week-Four Rumba 10

With La Voix last on 14 points, adjusted betting odds point to a tense results show on Sunday.

Overview

  • Back from illness, Stefan Dennis and Dianne Buswell performed a Charleston to Dance Monkey and earned 26, their highest score so far.
  • Dianne Buswell, the first Strictly professional to compete while pregnant, drew notice for a visibly growing bump during the routine and addressed mixed reactions from viewers.
  • Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe’s rumba scored 36, including a 10 from head judge Shirley Ballas, who left the panel to congratulate her as Anton Du Beke briefly did the same.
  • The week-four leaderboard put Lewis Cope and Katya Jones top on 38, with La Voix and Aljaž Skorjanec bottom on 14 and Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova low on 24.
  • Bookmakers shifted odds after recent events, with Betway listing Dennis and Buswell at 100/1 to win and Spin Genie pricing Robshaw at Evens and Dennis around 11/10 to be next eliminated, as public voting determines Sunday’s outcome.
