What the expert says...
Layton Williams once again topped the leaderboard but sits at second favourite in the market
Layton Williams topped the judges leaderboard at the weekend after another set of stunning dances with each couple performing two in Saturday's show.
Williams performed a Charleston as one of his dances on Saturday night's show which received a standing ovation from the judges including Craig Revel Horwood with 40 scored.
This was Williams second 40 after also getting full marks in last week's show and he still remains the only celebrity this series that has scored the full marks this year.

Annabel Croft was the final celebrity eliminated on the show this series
Former Tennis player turned pundit Annabel Croft became the final celebrity voted off Strictly Come Dancing this series after Sunday night's Semi-Final elimination took place.
Annabel finished bottom of the scoreboard with her partner Johannes Radebe after scoring 33 and 32 in her two dances and the judges ultimately decided to send her home.
Now though there will be no more celebrities eliminated from the show with the Final taking place this Saturday, December 10, live as always on BBC One.
We're in the dark around which dances will be performed in Saturday's final as of yet, but it's likely that each couple will perform three dances.
