The famous faces started off the competition strong, with Nigel Harman topping the leader board after he was awarded a whopping 32 points.

But unfortunately BBC Asian Network host Nikita Kanda and Les Dennis landed themselves at the bottom.

Viewers of the BBC dance show think that it could be either one of them that is sent home.

Nikita and dance pro partner Gorka Marquez are dancing the Charleston to Beyonce's tune 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)' this week.

One fan said on Reddit: "Nikita, Zara and Les are in the danger zone for me. Les' saving grace is that he has a memorable song and is a national treasure. On the other hand, a weak Charleston is a death sentence as we saw last series..."

Another chimed in: "Deploying the Emergency Charlestons early!"

"Only week 2 but Zara and Nikita both already feel in need of a break through dance or I suspect they’re on very limited time," a third added.

A fourth said: "I think Nikita will be in the Bottom Two with Les or Zara this week."

Others are worried that Gorka may quit Strictly if they go out early.

One said on the discussion website: "Anyone else have a feeling that Gorka will call it a day after this series if he’s out early doors with Nikita?"

The fan continued: "I was quite surprised he came back this year after he seemed so devastated not to win in 2022, but I’ll be really gutted if he does leave as I see him as one of the best pro dancers and choreo."

Someone else said: "Yeah one of the main things I remember from the final last year was how angry he looked."

Another wrote: "I feel that too. I commented earlier that he already looks pissed off and I don't feel he thinks this year's partnership will be his finest hour."

Gorka shares daughter Mia, four, and new born son Thiago with fiancée Gemma Atkinson.
