Strictly Come Dancing week 10 latest ahead of quarter finals: everything you need to know

What you need to know as quarterfinals approach.

Only six couples remain in this weekend as Week 10 of the 2025 season approaches the quarter-finals, and the tension is soars.
Scores are rolled straight into Week 10 as a result of one contestant’s dramatic departure from Blackpool: La Voix, who had an injury, and no one left.
With a mix of Latin, Ballroom, and a “Couple’s Choice” routine that could change the leaderboard, Week 10’s songs and dance styles have been revealed.
Highlights include: Karen & Carlos choosing a Couple’s Choice to Born This Way by Lady Gaga and Lewis & Katya tackling a Rumba to Falling by Harry Styles.
The first-ever Instant Dance Challenge adds to the drama and introduces a brand-new twist. Couples will pull a random dance from previous weeks and have to put on costumes for the final ten seconds to prepare for the live performance.
The leaderboard becomes a battlefield this weekend because of the unpredictability of Blackpool and Instant Dance, which could determine someone’s ambitions.
Expect surprises for fans of the favorites, Lewis & Katya, who were a perfect 40 last week, making them strong contenders.
Couples at the bottom, like Balvinder &amp, Julian, can’t afford a slip; their only chance to avoid the dreaded dance-off is this week’s impressive performance.
