The players banished Niko Omilana from the castle after last week’s roundtable, and the Traitors later murdered Tom Daley.

The pair’s run in the BBC One dance contest this year got off to a rocky start after they landed in the first dreaded dance-off of the series alongside Thomas Skinner and Amy Dowden, who went on to become the first couple to leave the competition.

Last weekend, they safely made it through to week four of Strictly’s 2025 series and on Saturday night (October 18) they were back on the dance floor.

The former England rugby star and his professional dance partner scored 24 for their Salsa to Ricky Martin’s Maria, which Craig Revel Horwood said “lacked any rotation” but featured “extraordinary” lifts

And it was the lifts that left Strictly viewers’ jaws on the floor. @anne.robbo said: “I’ve never seen Nadiya do lifts like that!” @jennysjarman commented: “Nadiya doesn’t get near as much appreciation as some of the other pros, this opening is insane bloody love her #strictly.”

Nadiya you’re insane (high compliment kind of way) #StrictlyComeDancing.” @21pinkapples added: “I can never focus on Chris when Nadiya is dancing right there. She’s amazing #strictly.”

Meanwhile, Strictly fans were also in agreement that Chris is improving each week he progresses in the competition.

@KDCunliffe said: “This is what we want to see more of. Someone where dancing is an alien life form, giving it everything, improving and enjoying the moment. Well done Chris Robshaw. #strictly #StrictlyComeDancing.” @scddevereaux wrote: “There is no denying chris is improving EVERY week #strictly.”

@GavinEvs commented: “Chris deserves to go through, so humble, nothing big headed about him #Strictlly.” @Gemma42981517 shared: “Chris continues to improve each week, it’s great to see #Strictly.” @gm4rshx added: “Would happily watch Chris throw Nadiya about all night #Strictly.”
