A coveted trip to the Blackpool Tower Ballroom is within reach for Strictly Come Dancing's nine remaining couples – but first they must get through this weekend's Week 8 show.

Following Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu's departure last Sunday, the pressure is on to secure a spot in next week's annual Blackpool special.

For Jaime Winstone and her professional partner Carlos Gu, the challenge comes with an added complication. The actress is returning after an injury forced her to miss Week 7 with a medical bye, but although doctors have cleared her to compete, their Charleston must be performed without any lifts.

With this in mind, some BBC viewers are predicting that it could spell the end of the road for Jaime, 41.

Many believe Jaime's Charleston will likely pale in comparison to the one Love Island star Cach Mercer is set to perform this weekend.

Posting on a Strictly Reddit forum, one devoted fan wrote: "In the nicest way possible, Jaime's Charleston will most likely be her last.

"I know she had a bit of a tough time last week due to injury but the positive is she is back to perform this weekend all being well.

"Jaime has said they had to rectify the choreography so that doesn't impact her injury any further. Given the benefit of the doubt, Cach's Charleston will fare better than Jaime's and I think out of respect it is probably best that Jaime goes home this week so that her injury will properly heal."

One person replied: "Sadly I do think she will be and I think she will be up against John/Graeme/Will."
