Strictly Come Dancing leaderboard 2025: Full judges' scores LIVE
The countdown for the winner is on!
The time has finally come: Strictly Come Dancing 2025 is fully underway!
The first live show kicked things off with a bang – with Karen Carney topping the leaderboard with a dazzling Jive, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey becoming overcome with emotion and Anton Du Beke shocking everyone with a spontaneous stunt.
As ever, the 15 celebrities and their professional dance partners took to the floor for their first routines of the season and had to grit their teeth through the all-important feedback from the judges.
As it's only week one, there was no vote and no one will be sent packing. Instead their scores will be carried over to next week, when the public vote opens for the very first time.
But what did they all score? Read on for the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 leaderboard.
