It Takes Two may have finished, but here is our very own Zoe Ball in an unusual location!

But first, if you need some inspiration, here's some advice from glamour queen and Strictly star Nancy Dell'Olio...

Robbie played it cool tonight but found himself at the bottom of the pack as his Quickstep netted a round 30.

Harry became one of the Middle Men after his Rumba racked up 36 points, whilst Chelsee got her fairytale ending when her Shrek-inspired Jive jostled her to the top of the board with 39 points.

Here are the final scores for Week 10 - find out who didn't make the director's cut on Sunday at 7.25pm on BBC One.

There's always one that leaves it to the last minute

Ola: "I agree. It was a cool Quickstep"

Harry: "I had a dream I got four 9's and it came true!"

James: "There were mistakes but that's the nature of live TV"

Holly: "That was awesome. We got two 10's!"

Kristina: "I'm so proud of Jason's solo number at the start"

Chelsee: "Three 10's! And even a 10 from Len. I'm made up"

Harry McFlew once again to the top of the leaderboard with his double dancefloor victory. He scored a whopping seven points for his energetic Swing-a-thon sprint, whilst securing a stellar three tens for his Quickstep.

Meanwhile Robbie found himself at the bottom of the scoreboard this week after failing to impress with his Samba. He was also first to be asked to leave the floor during the Swing-a-thon which left him on a total of 26 points.

But which of our couples did enough to stay in?

Here are the scores for Week 9 - find out who will be leaving for good on Sunday at 7.25pm on BBC One.

Artem Chigvintsev will not be dancing with partner Holly Valance this weekend following an injury to his back. Instead Holly will be dancing with professional Brendan Cole this Saturday, whilst Artem will still be choreographing the routine. Holly and Brendan will tackle the Rumba to Will Young's Leave Right Now.

A BBC Spokesperson explained: "Artem was initially diagnosed with a transverse process fracture of the lumbar spine. However the latest medical advice from a spinal specialist following further scans is that he is suffering with a combination of joint and soft tissue injury.

"While this medical advice is more encouraging he will still need to rest, so will not be dancing this Saturday."

Artem said: "Thanks to everyone for all the messages and tweets of support, it really means so much. I'm sad not to be dancing with Holly this weekend, but I'm grateful that Brendan is quickstepping in to fill my dancing shoes, and the two of them will be fantastic."

Holly added: "I'm obviously disappointed I won't be dancing with Artem this weekend, but his wellbeing is very important to me, and Brendan is an awesome guy and we're working hard to bring something new and exciting to this Saturday's show."

Brendan said he was extremely happy to be asked by Artem to step in, even though it's never nice under these circumstances.

I'm sure you'll all join Brendan and Holly in wishing Artem a speedy recovery to the dancefloor!

Our ever-changing leaderboard re-shuffled itself once more as Chelsee and Pasha saw themselves shoot to the top of the pack with 36 points, whilst Rusell and Flavia's Paso saw them plunge to the bottom with 24.

Last week's leader Jason failed to light the judges' fire with his Rumba, leaving Kristina in shock, but do you agree with their appraisal?

Here are the scores again for Week 6. Be sure to tune in on Sunday at 7.25pm on BBC One to find out which couple will be out in the cold .
