It was the hardest week to call so far, and things are definitely getting interesting on the StrictlyDB predictions game leaderboard as Matt goes from zero to hero – a bit like Pete in the ballroom.

Not a bad scoring week for the team, and we were delighted to celebrate our second ‘Perfect Score’ as James called everything correctly and scored a perfect 8 (3 for top, 3 for bottom, 1 for elimination and 1 bonus for getting everything correct).

The StrictlyDB team are back again to review what we thought of last week’s episode (week 4) and play our predictions game (for week 5). Who will be top and bottom of the this Saturday’s leaderboard and who will be eliminated on Sunday?

We’ve had our own predictions game leaderboard shake-up here at StrictlyDB after Week 4,  and Steve, who’s feeling sabotaged by the new T.A.S.H.A rule, is not happy…

Steve, our developer, who has never seen a show storms even further into the lead on our Strictly Predictions leaderboard this week (even though he had no idea it was Movie Week!)

Is it beginner’s luck or can his winning streak continue into Week 4?

Although a minority, male pros and female celebrities have held most of the two top spots on the judges’ leaderboards so far in 2024. This reflects a wider trend in which male pros dominate on almost every performance metric.

However, female pros win overall when it comes to Strictly’s most important statistic, and we think they can add to their tally in 2024.

It’s Week 2 of our Predictions game where we predict who will be top and bottom of Saturday’s leaderboard plus who will get the Strictly shove.

There’s extra sparkle today as we discuss who could shine or stumble in Movie Week (although Steve didn’t even know Week 3 of Strictly means we’re all at the movies!)

“Fantasy Strictly Come Dancing” (FSCD) is back, launching recently for players to join the game for Series 22! Jump on in and join the fun!

Wow, April already and there’s a great deal of Strictly news to catch up on – rumoured 2024 contestants, babies, birthdays, Big Brother and, of course, more Hair News! Catch up here with our latest News and rumour round-up. Enjoy!

Like all Strictly fans, we were deeply saddened to hear the news of Robin Windsor’s death. Robin danced as a Pro on the main show between 2010 and 2013 but also took part in a number of memorable Strictly specials between 2011 and 2015. In his tribute Anton described Robin as “always a star” and in ours we highlight just some of the times Robin shone super bright like the brilliant star he was.
