Strictly Come Dancing 2025 leaderboard results in full as early winners revealed

The first Strictly Come Dancing scoreboard of the 2025 series is here, with the first performances having taken place.

Stars including Lewis Cope, Thomas Skinner, Balvinder Sopal and Amber Davies were paired up with a pro dancer, ready to battle it out for the Glitterball Trophy. It's up to the judges Dame Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke to score each couple and give them a total.

This total determines where they place on the full leaderboard, and whether they will be at the top or the bottom. While there's no vote this weekend, future episodes will see these scores combined with the public votes. Follow along with the action from tonight's first live Strictly Come Dancing show by reading The Mirror's live blog here.

Of course week by week we will lose a pairing, determined by the scores they are given - and the judges' marks do sometimes have a sway on the end result. Here's the leaderboard in full...

It comes after the news Dani Dyer had to pull out of the show days before the first live episode. She shared a sweet message for her Strictly co-stars ahead of Saturday's episode after being forced to leave the show earlier this week due to an injury.

It was announced on Tuesday that the 29-year-old would no longer be able to compete on the show after a fall during rehearsals led to her fracturing her ankle. However, despite not being able to take part, Dani has sent a message of support to her co-stars.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the mum-of-three wrote: “Good luck to all the gorgeous cast starting there Strictly journey tonight. Can’t wait to watch you all, so proud & know how hard you’ve all been working.. see you all soon.”

The official Strictly Come Dancing Instagram page revealed the sad news of Dani’s exit as they captioned it: “Unfortunately due to an injury Dani Dyer is no longer able to compete in #Strictly 2025. She’ll be sorely missed and we wish her a speedy recovery.”

Dani said: “I had a fall on Friday in rehearsals and landed funny. I thought I had rolled my foot but it swelled up so badly over the weekend and after an MRI scan yesterday, it turns out I have fractured my ankle.

“Apparently doing the Quickstep on a fracture is not advisable and the doctors have said I am not allowed to dance, so I’ve had to pull out of the show.

“To say I’m heartbroken is the biggest understatement. I am so going to miss dancing with Nikita but will of course be watching closely and cheering all the couples on.”

Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday on BBC One. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , and Threads.
