Strictly Come Dancing has truly ramped up the tension for the remaining couples, after Ashley Roberts — who consistently tops the leaderboard — ended up in the dance off against Graeme Swann, proving that no one is safe.

Week 11's song and dance routines have been revealed, and Charles Venn and partner Karen Clifton are tasked with a Rumba – after three appearances in the dance off, can he survive the notoriously tricky dance? He won't be helped by the fact that Lauren Pritchard – who came bottom of the leaderboard and last in the Lindy Hop-A-Thon – is dancing the American Smooth, a ballroom style that has earned her higher scores throughout the series.

As the competition nears its latter stages – and the standard of dancing gets higher and higher – who will be sent home? Here's a sneak peek at the songs and dances the six remaining celebs and professional dancers will be performing for week 11 of this year's Strictly competition.
