Strictly Come Dancing Week Two Leaderboard as Major Rule Change Begins - Liverpool Echo
New online-only voting replaces phone votes due to BT ending premium-rate calls, with 15 celebrities competing and a dance-off elimination introduced for the first time.
- The second episode of Strictly Come Dancing was broadcast on October 4, 2025, at 6.20pm on BBC One, showcasing 15 celebrities performing live on the dancefloor.
- This follows the first live show on September 27, where no one was eliminated and scores were carried over, setting up a major new voting system change.
- Scores from week one and two combined to produce rankings, with Karen Carney and Carlos Gu topping at 31 points, and Ross King and Jowita PrzystaB at the bottom with 10 points.
- Ross King earned a total of 10 points for his Cha Cha Cha performance, expressed how much he has enjoyed the experience so far, and is motivated to improve with an upcoming waltz to "Sunshine on Leith."
- The new rule removes phone voting; viewers will only vote online with a BBC account, and the bottom two couples will dance off to remain in the competition on October 5.
