Last weekend, we sadly said goodbye to Adam Thomas<\/a>, after the actor found himself in the dance-off against Angela Rippon<\/a>. While both dancing duos tried their best, it was ultimately Adam\u2019s time to leave the competition.<\/p>\n In week 7, there were a few Couple\u2019s Choices, with one blowing the judge\u2019s away, leaving the studio audience and viewers alike in tears<\/a>.<\/p>\n In this week\u2019s episode of Strictly Between Us, Entertainment and Factual writer Katelyn Mensah and self-professed \u201cStrictly super-fan\u201d, Katie White, talk all about Adam\u2019s exit, Annabel Croft<\/a>\u2018s touching performance and how impressed they were with Ellie Leach<\/a>.<\/p> The Strictly Come Dancing songs and dances<\/a> were revealed for Week Eight, and top of the leaderboard staples Ellie Leach and Layton Williams<\/a> will be performing a Rumba and Argentine Tango respectively.<\/p>\n With the pair constantly coming first and second place on the leaderboard, but both yet to score 40, could this weekend change everything?<\/p>\n Last week, Ellie Leach was top of the leaderboard<\/a> with 39 points, followed by Layton Williams with 36 and Annabel Croft with 35 points.<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the competition, Annabel Croft wowed the audience and judges alike, with a touching tribute to her late husband.<\/p>\n After her performance, head Judge Shirley Ballas wiped away tears and said: \u201cI didn\u2019t know your husband, but I feel like I do.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n She called the performance \u201cgraceful\u201d, \u201ccharming\u201d and \u201cdivine\u201d.<\/p>\n Judge Anton Du Beke described Croft\u2019s routine as \u201cperfect\u201d, while Craig Revel Horwood called it \u201ca beautiful story, beautifully executed\u201d, and Motsi Mabuse said it was her \u201cbest dance\u201d.<\/p>\n Angela Scanlon<\/a> and Angela Rippon found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard, with 27 and 28 points respectively.<\/p>\n As it\u2019s Strictly, anything could happen.
