Strictly Come Dancing returns tonight for its Week 3 results show, with another celebrity preparing to leave the competition after Saturday night’s performances. This week saw Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington move to the top of the leaderboard with 33 points, including the first nine of the series. Their Salsa earned praise across the judging panel, with Shirley Ballas telling Delta she believed she could “go all the way”, while Motsi Mabuse awarded the couple that first nine.

At the other end of the leaderboard, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Alexis Warr finished with 15 points, with Melanie Walters and Aljaž Škorjanec just above them on 17. Those scores do not automatically mean either couple will be in the dance-off, however, with the public vote also playing a major part in deciding who is at risk tonight.

What Time Are the Strictly Come Dancing Results on Tonight?

The Week 3 results show airs tonight, Sunday 11 October, at 7:10pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Two couples will be revealed as the bottom two before performing again in the dance-off. The judges will then decide which couple stays and who becomes the next celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2026.

We’ll update this article as soon as tonight’s result is confirmed.

Strictly Come Dancing 2026 Week 3 Leaderboard

Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington: 33
Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby: 31
Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita: 31
Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu: 28
Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin: 27
Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu: 27
Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola: 26
Will Best and Dianne Buswell: 25
Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley: 25
Dame Sarah Storey and Julian Caillon: 20
Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystał: 20
John Nellis and Katya Jones: 20
Melanie Walters and Aljaž Škorjanec: 17
Shaun Wright-Phillips and Alexis Warr: 15

Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystał also found themselves towards the lower end of the leaderboard with 20 points after their Rumba split the judges. Shirley Ballas was not convinced by the choreography, while Craig Revel Horwood disagreed and jokingly called her a “fun sponge”, with Motsi and Anton also offering a more positive response to the performance.

For CultureCues, Delta was brilliant on Saturday night and completely deserved that first nine of the series. The leaderboard gives us some idea of who could be in trouble, but Strictly results nights have a habit of throwing up surprises once the public vote is added in, so we would not count anyone out yet. We’ll be watching at 7:10pm and updating as soon as we know who is in the dance-off and who leaves.

The Strictly Come Dancing Week 3 results air tonight, Sunday 11 October, at 7:10pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
