Strictly Come Dancing 2025, Icons Week: The first show since Tess and Claudia’s shock announcement

There ends the second ever Icons Week and, in all honesty, it gave us the solid rather than the iconic. The big winners are Vicky Pattison, who scored an impressive 33, Alex Kingston, who backed up her excellent Week Four, and La Voix, who came back strong from last week’s appalling performance.

It is a surprise to see George Clarke at the bottom of the board, but he got his lowest score since Week One and seemed uncomfortable out there. Balvinder Sopal should feel pleased with her efforts, though will know she probably faces a third consecutive dance-off tomorrow. Karen Carney and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey also need to start showing a little more. 

Please do use the comments section below to let us know your thoughts. Can anyone stop Lewis? How far can Ellie go? Who deserves to be in the dance-off?
