Strictly Come Dancing fans feel they know who the front-runner to win this year's series is - despite calling her 'an underdog'.
The second live show of the series got underway with EastEnders star Bobby Braizer and his partner Diane Buswell's Charleston performance - which got 29 points from the judges.
However, it was Coronation Star Ellie Leach, who danced a foxtrot with partner Vito Coppola to Fairground Attraction's Perfect, that excited viewers at home after scoring 31 points.
