Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman present the fifth live episode of this year's series, as the 12 remaining celebrity couples take to the dancefloor, hoping to impress the judges and the viewers at home to make it through to next week's Halloween special. Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and guest judge Alfonso Ribeiro will score the performances out of 10 before the voting lines open - giving viewers at home the chance to have their say and determine who will be leaving the competition.
The show pairs a number of celebrities with professional ballroom dancers who each week compete against each other to impress a panel of judges and the viewing public in order to survive potential elimination. Through telephone voting, viewers vote for whom they would like to stay, the results of the poll being combined with the ranking of the panel of judges.
The show is broadcast live on BBC One on Saturday evenings, and is presented by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. The judging panel consists mainly of Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Craig Revel Horwood.
