Strictly Come Dancing: Week 5 (BBC One, Saturday, October 25, 2025)

Strictly Come Dancing

It is Icons Week in the ballroom, and the pressure on the remaining couples is immense. Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present as the celebrities and their professional partners perform brand new routines paying tribute to some of the most influential musicians of all time. The challenge is not just to master the steps, but to capture the spirit of a musical legend and create a truly memorable performance.

With the competition now well underway, every point from the judges counts. Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood, and Anton Du Beke will be watching every move, expecting the dancers to honour their chosen icons with skill and flair. Which couple will top the leaderboard, and who will fail to impress the judges and the voting public at home?
