Live updates from Strictly Come Dancing Icons Week as Amy Dowden is replaced by Lauren Oakley following backstage collapse

Hello and welcome to MailOnline’s live coverage of the Strictly Come Dancing live show at Icons Week.

Ten celebrities will take to the ballroom tonight, all in the hope of avoiding the dreaded dance.

Last week the undisputed stars of the show were EastEnders’ Jamie Borthwick’s Sarah Hadland, who scored a near-flawless 38 points each.

While Shayne Ward was saved by the judges when Dr. Purnam Krishnan was sent off when they faced each other on Sunday.

So who will be the ‘legend’ of Icon Week and who will go home?

Stay with us to find out as we guide you through tonight’s show and join in by posting your thoughts in our comments section.

According to the only bookmaker, Actor Shayne Ward is the favorite to be eliminated this week.

However, Sam Quek, Wynne Evans and JLS star JB Gill are all in danger as well.

According to betting company Ladbroke, Shayne has odds of 6/4, Wynne has odds of 7/2, Sam Quek comes in at 4/1 and JB Gill has odds of 5/1.

Spokesman Alex Apati told the Mirror today: ‘Shayne Ward leads the elimination betting after some shaky performances, but four names are in serious danger of a shock exit this weekend, with Wynne, Sam and JB also at risk. ‘

Can’t wait for tonight’s action?

Here’s a preview of the Icons-themed songs and dances:

• JB Gill and Lauren Oakley – Couples’ Choice for Bruno Mars Medley
• Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe – Waltz to I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
• Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin – American Smooth to Love Story (Taylor’s version) by Taylor Swift

– not necessarily in order of execution

Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has sent a special message to dance partner JB Gill as he prepared to dance without her on Saturday night.

The Welsh dancer, 34, was forced to withdraw from this weekend’s show after collapsing backstage last week, with fellow professional Lauren Oakley called in as her replacement.

And hours before JLS singer JB, 37, and choreographer Lauren, 33, hit the dance floor, Amy – who is believed to be in remission after battling breast cancer and Crohn’s disease – penned a heartfelt message of support for the pair social media. .

As we head into Halloween week, let’s take a look at which celebrities impressed judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke.
