I suspect it was

.....Ali 3 (judges) + 4 (votes) = 7
Chris 2 (judges) + 3 (votes) = 5
-------------------------------------
Ricky 4 (judges) + 1 (votes) = 5
.Laila 1 (judges) + 2 (votes) = 3

or alternatively

Chris 2 (judges) + 4 (votes) = 6
.....Ali 3 (judges) + 3 (votes) = 6
-------------------------------------
Ricky 4 (judges) + 2 (votes) = 6
.Laila 1 (judges) + 1 (votes) = 2

If there is no dance-off next Saturday Ricky is in genuine danger of being voted out even if he produces all 10 dances.

I think it was more likely to have been:

Ricky 4 +1 = 5
Ali 3 + 2 = 5
Chris 2 + 4 = 6
Laila 1 + 3 = 4

It could be interesting next week if the leaderboard is as this week, i.e. Ricky 3 Ali 2 and Chris 1 and Chris is really as popular as he would seem. Could be the first complete reversal of the leaderboard.

Ricky 3 + 1 = 4
Ali 2 + 2 = 4
Chris 1 + 3 = 4

Ricky and Ali in the dance off. Weirder things have happened

With her dismal displays tonight I believe even Laila's diehard fans would not have put her second-top on phone votes.

The judges leader board will be Ali, Ricky and Chris in that order. That way they ensure Ali and Ricky in final. It's not rocket science.

Whichever way it went, it means the same thing: Ricky is the least popular dancer left in the competition.

There is a dance-off next week. I think Ali will be eliminated unless the judges mark her higher than Ricky to force Chris into the dance-off.

We've already had that with Zoe, Colin and Darren to boot Zoe.

We have no confirmation yet there will be a dance-off next week. In your (likely) scenario it would be bye-bye Ricky.

Just redid the sums. There's only four possibilities where this could have happened.

Ricky 4...+2
Ali 3........+3
Chris 2...+4
Lailia 1...+1

or

Ricky 4...+1
Ali 3........+4
Chris 2...+3
Lailia 1...+2

or

Ricky 4...+1
Ali 3........+3
Chris 2...+4
Lailia 1...+2

or

Ricky 4...+1
Ali 3........+2
Chris 2...+4
Lailia 1...+3

So basically all we know is that Ricky was the least popular of the 3 remaining celebs this week.
